After a memorable series win in the Caribbean, the Proteas are now in the cold weather of Ireland. South Africa beat West Indies 2-0 in the Test series and lifted the T20 trophy 3-2. The Temba Bavuma-led limited-overs cricket team will now face Ireland in their own backyard. The Proteas' will play three ODIs and as many T20Is, as the Men from the African nation will be eyeing to further prepare themselves for the T20 World Cup, scheduled to take place later this year in the UAE. After beating Kieron Pollard-led Windies outfit comprehensively, South Africa will be riding high on confidence when they take on a lowly-ranked Ireland side.

The first ODI between South Africa and Ireland was washed out
After rain played spoil-sport in the first ODI, the two teams will be hoping the rain gods stay away for the remaining five games, although the possibility of that is very low. South Africa won the toss and decided to let Ireland bat first. Ireland were 195/4 after 40.2 overs before rain decided to take over the proceedings. The game was officially called off after multiple inspections and showers, with both teams being awarded five CWCSL points.
