Ireland team is not a very strong team in cricket, especially against the big teams, their performance is not very good. But still this team did well because they had won a T20 match against South Africa. But even if a team plays well in one format, it is not possible for them to do well in all formats. It is not possible to say so early whether the Ireland team will be able to show any major resistance against South Africa in ODI cricket. But if we were to describe it according to the previous ideas, then Ireland was not supposed to compete with the team in any way. The ODI format is more difficult than the T20 format as the batsmen and bowlers have to compete for longer periods. As such, it can be initially assumed that the Ireland team will not be able to give anything significant against the South African team. But it is difficult to say when a change comes in cricket because everything is uncertain and the results can change any time.
Yes I agree with you Ireland cricket team usually finds it hard to beat top teams. But they recently beat South Africa in T20 match which is good sign. However doing well in one format of match does not mean they will do well in other format too. Ireland chances against South Africa in ODI are unclear. ODI are harder because they are longer. Ireland has struggled in ODI before so they might struggle again. But cricket is unpredictable and surprises can happen. Ireland might surprise South Africa again.

Afghanistan's bowling action was much better than South Africa's bowling due to which South Africa lost to Afghanistan by a big margin. Moreover, South Africa turned around in the last match and saved themselves from a whitewash for the time being by defeating Afghanistan by a huge margin of 7 wickets.
Now for the time being South Africa will not be defeated by Ireland in ODIs as Ireland are not as strong as Afghanistan and cannot bat as aggressively. Because of this I don't think that Ireland can beat South Africa but in reality it will be very tough for Ireland to beat South Africa.
That is right Afghanistan bowling was very good in their first match against South Africa which helped them win easily. But South Africa played much better in next match and won by seven wickets avoiding sweep. Now South Africa is facing Ireland in One Day International matches. Because South Africa played well recently they have good chance of keeping their momentum. Although Ireland might find it hard to bat as aggressively as Afghanistan they should not be taken lightly. Ireland is determined and capable of surprising South Africa with upset so South Africa needs to stay alert. Now for the time being South Africa will not be defeated by Ireland in ODIs as Ireland are not as strong as Afghanistan and cannot bat as aggressively. Because of this I don't think that Ireland can beat South Africa but in reality it will be very tough for Ireland to beat South Africa.

Yes you are right South Africa played very well showing how strong they are in One Day International match. On the other hand Ireland had tough time. They played like they do in shorter T20 games losing wickets quickly. Ireland could not adjust to longer game and their players could not protect their wickets. South Africa batsmen put a lot of pressure on them. As result Ireland was knocked out after scoring just 132 runs in 32 overs losing by big margin. This big loss shows how much better South Africa is and how much Ireland needs to improve their ODI game.
South Africa team is really strong and promising team in cricket, but recently their performance is not going well especially from the series of Afghanistan they have been observed such inconsistent performance. South Africa won the first t20 match against Ireland but lost the second match to draw the series. But in the ODI series between these two teams, we saw South Africa come back to their true form. In the first ODI match, only two South African batsmen extended their innings with good performances and the rest of the batsmen did not do well at all.Batting at the target of runs given by South Africa, Ireland's batsmen were in trouble early on as their team lost their first wicket within three runs. Even within 100 runs six of their top-order batsmen were out leading to a batting disaster as a result Ireland were bowled out for 132 at the last minute.
Here is the biggest failure of the Irish team, as the first attacking batsmen of the Irish team get out easily. And wickets fell in full T20 style, despite a good performance in the second T20 to win. But the Ireland team did not perform well in the ODI match, in the current situation, if the South African team performs well in one match, they cannot perform well in the next match. In cases where the match remains uneven, usually the South African team has been caught up in this new year with such a performance. South African teams usually lack bowlers, so they need to be more experienced in both bowling and batting to compete with any team and win.

South Africa is a much more experienced team than Ireland in the ODI series. And they proved it in the first match itself. South Africa team won against Ireland by a big margin of 139 runs. The pitch was not batting friendly. The South African batsmen set a target of 272 runs. And Ireland's batsmen managed to collect only 132 runs. South Africa won the first ODI match easily.
There was no answer for the Ireland team when they came to chase the 271 runs target set by South Africa. They failed badly in this chase and were all out at 132 runs. None of the players were able to make any runs, Andy Balbirnie and Curtis Campher made 20 runs each and those were the highest runs scored by any batsmen in their team.
Lizaad Williams took 4 wickets from the South Africa team and he set the tone for the game but the play of the match was Ryan Rickeltonw who made 91 runs. All the bowlers were successful and they bowled the Ireland team in only 31.5 overs. Rickelton, Stubbs and Williams power SA to 1-0 lead
The yesterday's match between Ireland and South Africa was a good game for the South African team as they won it with a huge lead and this win was also important for the South African team as they lost the last game in the T20 match because, before this game, they were suffering the lost against Ireland in the T20 format. Anyway, in this game South Africa gave a target of 271 and I was sure at that point, Ireland had no chance whatsoever to win this game and I was right. South African bowlers took continuous wickets and led the team through a win.

In the T20 series we saw South Africa beat Ireland by a big margin in the first T20 but they came back again in the second T20 maybe, we can see something like that from Ireland in the ODI series.

Why blame the batsmen when their bowlers did a horrible job? They had South Africa in deep trouble. When Wiaan Mulder got out, Proteas were struggling at 212/7. Ideally the Irish bowlers could have bundled out the South Africans for 220-230. But the Irish bowlers lost the momentum, and in the end South Africa reached a total of 271/9. And in return, they lost Paul Stirling in the first order. By then the outcome of the match was never in doubt. They have two more matches remaining in this series. I hope that they will win at least one of them.

The next T20 match will be played tomorrow at Sheikh Zayed Stadium and hopefully Ireland will win the fourth match to equalize. However, the South African team will want to stay ahead of the series. So we have to wait for tomorrow.

Ireland defeated South Africa in the second match of the T20I series. Ireland performed well in the T20 series, managing to set a big enough target. T20 and ODI formats are not the same, you have to bat patiently in ODI matches. Many of us thought Ireland would perform well in the ODI series after seeing Ireland's excellent performance in the T20 series. But South Africa team is strong in ODI format, their batsmen have managed to bat well with patience. Where Ireland's batsmen could not bat well with patience. No Irish batsman could score more than 21 runs. Ireland defeated South Africa in T20 series but it is very difficult for them to defeat South Africa in ODI series. South Africa won the first match to take a 1-0 lead. I think Ireland will be whitewashed in the ODI series.
The team balance is simply not there with the Irish team. Some of their players (especially the Adair brothers and Craig Young) are performing really well, while some others are not living up to the expectations. As a result, the performance of the team overall has been volatile. Given the fact that South Africa is without many of their regular players, it was expected from Ireland to give a few upset wins. The results from the 4 matches so far has been pretty mixed. But overall, not too many positives for Ireland.
Yes you are right South Africa played very well showing how strong they are in One Day International match. On the other hand Ireland had tough time.

This big loss shows how much better South Africa is and how much Ireland needs to improve their ODI game.
South Africa failed to win the T20 series. South Africa won the first match but lost the second match. Ireland's batsmen batted well. As a result they were able to beat a big and experienced team like South Africa.
South Africa is a much more experienced team than Ireland in the ODI series. And they proved it in the first match itself. South Africa team won against Ireland by a big margin of 139 runs. The pitch was not batting friendly. The South African batsmen set a target of 272 runs. And Ireland's batsmen managed to collect only 132 runs. South Africa won the first ODI match easily.
This match definitely proved that the South African team has been strong in the past and they have performed most offensively in the present. The South African team performed well enough to play the ODI match, and they were ready to last a long time in this long game. But what Ireland team did not try well in this game, they lost wickets like in T20 matches which is a terrible form for this match.
In ODI matches they have to perform for a long time by protecting wickets but Ireland team failed in this and lost by a huge margin. The Ireland players were under pressure from the opening batsmen and were eventually bowled out to score 132 runs in just 31.5 balls.

South Africa scored 271 runs against Ireland in today's first ODI match. The target of 271 runs I think is huge, if Ireland team can't meet this target today then they will definitely lose. Moreover, the players of South Africa team are currently doing a good bowling line, in that case, Ireland's victory in today's match is unlikely. They lost a wicket in the beginning, but now they are preparing to play well, if they can hold on to the wicket, Ireland will be more likely to win today's match against South Africa. And if the South African team can collect wickets in today's match, then Ireland will definitely be under pressure and there is a possibility of losing the match, but now it is not sure which team will win.

Ireland is just looking hopeless. Now they are 113/8, chasing target of 272. So far, the top-score is 21 made by George Dockrell. Lizaad Williams took 3 wickets so far. If Ireland batsmen can't score runs against fringe bowlers in the South African squad, then I don't know how they are going to play against the big-3 teams. In the top order, Andy Balbirnie and Paul Stirling looks horribly out of form. A lot was expected from Harry Tector, but turns out that he is good for nothing. And Lorcan Tucker is absent for this tour.
Actually, the main point is that the Ireland team's equal rivals are not South Africa and neither are the teams you are talking about. Because we cannot call 108 rating points and 50 rating points equal. And that is why their performance is so bad and they are hopeless now. However, I thought to myself that they will not cross 130 runs today. Already they have taken nine wickets. I think my prediction is going to be correct today.Jump to:
