Ireland vs South Africa in the first T20 match today, Ireland is batting in the first innings. In today's match Ireland team collected 85 runs for the loss of 3 wickets in 10 overs, if I say today's match Ireland did not score very well against South Africa. But I think if Ireland score 160 runs against South Africa then South Africa will have more chances to win because they have good batting and bowling. But if Ireland can bowl well against South Africa in the second innings then they will have hope of victory and today's match may indicate victory for South Africa.
Ireland performed well in this match, as 171 runs in the T20 match was a very laborious performance. And this 171 runs is enough for this in T20 matches, so I can say South Africa team though strong but could not create pressure from bowling side.
The South African team won this match easily, because the South African team Rickelton and Reeza Hendricks entered the field as the opening batting and performed the best.
Rickelton hit six boundary sixes, and scored 76 runs off just 48 balls, his aggressive performance helped South Africa win the match easily.
