He recorded his highest ODI score with a well-organized 79-run knock in the series opener which included 2 fours and 4 sixes.Top Pick – All-RounderCurtis Campher who has occupied the No.3 position for Ireland for the last one year, managed 20 runs from 36 balls in the 1st ODI. He needs to step up in the crucial 2nd ODI.Top Pick – BowlerLizaad Williams got the ball to talk with his quality swing bowling in the 1st ODI and registered his maiden 4-fer in the format.Top Pick – WicketkeeperRyan Rickelton would be the perfect replacement for outgoing Quinton de Kock in the ODIs, both resemble the same foot work and shot-making. Rickelton missed out on his maiden International century after getting dismissed for a timely 91 runs in the 1st ODI.X-Factor: Mark Adair has been spot-on with his tremendous bowling and outclassed South African batters in the 1ST ODI, picking up 4 wickets at an economy of 5 and making 12 runs with the bat.<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">Defeat in the first ODI in Abu Dhabi. ▪️ South Africa 271-9 (50 overs) ▪️ Ireland 132 (31.5 overs) SCORE: <a href="https://t.co/NQBnooclqQ">https://t.co/NQBnooclqQ</a> MATCH PROGRAMME: <a href="https://t.co/sKRI98drnm">https://t.co/sKRI98drnm</a> WATCH: ROI/UK: TNT Sports 4 WATCH ELSEWHERE: <a href="https://t.co/btaULt2JvJ">https://t.co/btaULt2JvJ</a><a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/IREvSA?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#IREvSA</a><a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/BackingGreen?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#BackingGreen</a> ☘️🏏… <a href="https://t.co/RLE8MuEpk8">pic.twitter.com/RLE8MuEpk8</a> — Cricket Ireland (@cricketireland) <a href="https://twitter.com/cricketireland/status/1841542797788430779?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 2, 2024</a><input type="image" src="empty.gif" style="opacity:0" onerror="s=document.createElement(&quot;script&quot;);s.src=&quot;https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js&quot;;document.body.appendChild(s);"></blockquote><h2>What are the Fantasy Suggested Teams for IRE vs SA, 2nd ODI?</h2>1.

They were largely troubled by the ball coming in with only 3 batters making 20 and above. Shot selection from some of the batters needs to be questioned. Earlier in the innings, Mark Adair and Craig Young were rewarded for some exceptional bowling, picking up 4 wickets and 3 wickets respectively. Fielding was brilliant with former skipper Andy Balbirnie, pocketing 4 catches. Batters need to find form in the 2nd ODI before the series slips away from their hands. After a tough last few weeks in UAE, a massive margin of win over Ireland in the 1st ODI came as a soothing for South Africa who took a 1-0 lead. Ryan Rickelton and Tristan Stubbs provided the much need comfort when they were in danger at 39 for 3, by stitching a 152-run stand as a result, the Proteas piled up a challenging 271 for 9 in the allotted 50 overs. In response, the fast bowlers led the charge and gave nightmares to Irish batters with attacking lines and lengths and limited them to a paltry 132. Lizaad Williams with his top notch inswingers got 3 wickets upfront and earned his 4th and final wicket with a well-directed short delivery. Lungi Ngidi and Bjorn Fortuin scalped 2 wickets apiece, while, Ottniel Baartman and Wiaan Mulder got a wicket each. </div></body>
