Markram and de Kock have been in good form at the top and they will be expected to give a good start here. The middle order looks solid but lack of allrounders limits the bowling options for South Africa. Rabada and Nortje have been picking up wickets and they will pose a big threat to the Irish batsmen. Shamsi was SA’s biggest positive during the West Indies tour. He has developed himself as a reliable wicket-taking option in the middle overs.
