Ireland vs South Africa Dream11: Top 5 Fantasy Cricket Picks 2nd ODI

The first ODI of the three-match series between Ireland and South Africa was called off due to rain after 40 overs of play. Ireland batting first, did pleasantly surprise quite a few people as fifties from William Porterfield and Andrew Balbirnie got them to 190/4 with 10 overs left to play. That’s where the rain interrupted, and it eventually led to a ‘No Result’. South Africa might not take Ireland too lightly, considering the fight they displayed in limited time. Here are a few key players from both camps who could have a major influence in the 2nd ODI.
