IRE vs SA Dream11: Welcome to the first T20I between Ireland and South Africa. The two countries meet for the first time in the shortest format with a global event looming not far off. The hosts have the more difficult task, having last played T20I cricket over a year ago, in March, against Afghanistan. Despite beating West Indies 3-2 earlier this month, they have yet to settle on combinations but aim to use the Ireland matches to solidify their plans.
