Ireland vs South Africa Dream11: Top 5 Fantasy Cricket Picks 3rd ODI

Ireland vs South Africa: Ireland created one of the upsets of the summer as they beat South Africa by 43 runs in the second ODI. Batting first, Ireland scored a total of 290/5 in 50 overs of play, while, bundling out the visitors for 247. The Irish also displayed glimpses of their quality in the first ODI, but the match was interrupted after 40 overs, and was eventually called of. After getting a 1-0 lead, the pressure will now be on South Africa, as Ireland can no longer lose the series. That being said, we can expect another intriguing affair between the two teams, and here are some key players who could have big role to play for the 3rd and final ODI.
