IRE vs SA Prediction: After a thrilling ODI series, the Irish team will once again host the Proteas for a three-match T20I series. This series is much more important than the ODI series since the T20 Worl Cup is fast approaching and these two sides have a lot to play for. Ireland will have to play the qualifiers in Oman and South Africa are placed in Group 1, which is considered a group of death. And hence this series holds significant value for the players and the management of both teams.
