The Ireland vs South Africa ODI series is set to commence on Wednesday, October 2. All three matches will be played at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi.

South Africa, currently ranked third in the ICC men’s ODI team rankings, will be aiming to maintain their dominance against Ireland, who are ranked 12th. However, Ireland will enter the series with a boost of confidence after their historic T20I victory over South Africa in Abu Dhabi on last Sunday.

Paul Stirling will captain the Irish side in the upcoming ODI series. Ireland’s squad also includes key players like Mark Adair, Curtis Campher, Harry Tector, Lorcan Tucker and Craig Young.

Temba Bavuma-led South African team, on the other hand, will be looking to bounce back from their first-ever T20I defeat against Ireland. The Proteas will be keen to regain their winning form and solidify their position in the ODI rankings.

The ODI series promises to be an exciting contest between two teams with contrasting strengths.
