Ireland vs South Africa, 2nd T20I Live Score and Updates:
Hello and welcome to our coverage of the second T20 international match between Ireland and South Africa taking place at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates on Sunday.
The Irish side will be under pressure to step up after their loss in the previous game. South Africa has looked a much better side after the poor show in the UAE against Afghanistan earlier. Aiden Markram will hope that the Proteas can once against step up their performances as they aim to secure their second win and confirm a clean-sweep series victory.
Ireland will hope that their bowling attack can really up their game. They were unable to pick up early wickets in the previous game and that could very likely prove to be the difference in today’s fixtures as well.
As for the weather conditions in the capital city, hardly any chance of interruptions due to rain and expect the temperature to hover at the 30 degrees Celsius mark proving to be a warm and fiery contest between the two sides.
Ireland Playing XI: Paul Stirling(c), Ross Adair, Harry Tector, Curtis Campher, Neil Rock(w), George Dockrell, Mark Adair, Fionn Hand, Matthew Humphreys, Benjamin White, Graham Hume
