Ireland vs South Africa Women Dream11: The Ireland team are making a statement to world cricket as they recently beat South Africa by 43 runs in the second ODI. As a result of that remarkable win, Ireland are now on course of registering a series win against a quality South African unit. Batting first, the host nation scored a total of 290/5 in 50 overs. The captain Andrew Balbernie led by example and struck a brilliantly executed knock of 102. South Africa were then bowled out for 247, in what was a terrific effort by the Irish bowlers. The visitors will be under the pump and will have expectations to bounce back in the 3rd and final ODI. However, after taking a brief look at Ireland in the first ODI, followed up by their historic win in the second game, one can not write them off for the match ahead.
