New Delhi: After clinching a sensational win against South Africa in the 2nd T20I, the Irish team is all set to take on the Proteas in the ODI series. South Africa have a massive 6-1 lead in the head-to-head record against Ireland in ODI cricket. Ireland’s only ODI victory against South Africa came in a bilateral match at The Village in 2021.
South Africa will face Ireland in the 1st ODI on October 2 (Wednesday) at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi starting from 5:00 PM IST. The Irish team will be coming to the contest after a thumping and historic victory in the T20I against the Proteas. Meanwhile, the Proteas will be under pressure to deliver after their recent T20I defeat and overall dip in form, particularly after their series loss to Afghanistan last month.
