In this prediction, we will analyze the IRE vs SA fantasy 11 Prediction, Cricket Tips, Playing XI, Pitch & Injury Updates for 1st T20I. The Ireland cricket team is all set to lock horns against South Africa for the first T20I of the two matches of the series, which is slated to commence on September 27 at Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi.
The Irish team was last seen in action during the T20 World Cup 2024 in the USA and West Indies. With three losses and one game abandoned, Paul Stirling and his men finished at the bottom of the Group A standings. In contrast, Proteas will be looking to mark a turnaround after they suffered a 1-2 ODI series defeat against Afghanistan in the UAE.
The head-to-head between these two sides in the T20 cricket sets to favor Proteas. The South African cricket team has won all five T20Is against Ireland and will be looking to continue the same winning momentum against them. On the other hand, Paul Stirling and his men will be no walkovers either this time and will be looking to challenge the runners-up of the 2024 T20 World Cup.
As the team gears up for the upcoming clash, all eyes will be on the thrilling competition set to unfold on the cricket field. Ahead of the game, here is a look at the Dream11 predictions, the fantasy tips, the pitch report, the top player picks, and the best-predicted XIs for the fantasy contests of the match.

Pitch Report
The pitch is expected to be good for spinners and slow bowlers. There will be bounce and carry from the surface, and batters need to spend some time adjusting according to the conditions. The toss will be important because of the dew, and the chase will become slightly easier.
Captains
Aiden Markram SA | bat- 9
As a skipper of the team, Aiden Markram is set to lead the side from the front, both with the bat and ball. The star cricketer will be looking to boost the middle-order of the game and having him as a team’s captain can give you tons of the fantasy points. In addition, the star cricketer will be looking to whitewash the series and his contributions with both bat and ball sets to play the great role.
Reeza Hendricks SA | bat- 8
Reeza Hendricks will be looking to use the maximum of the power-plays to give his side the great start in the series opener. The stylish right-handed batter aims to score runs at a brisk pace and provide great momentum early in the innings. Having his presence in your Dream 11 team can turned out to be a fruitful one. Do not miss him at all!
Ryan Rickelton SA | wk- 8.5
He is a great wicket-keeper batter from the Proteas camp, who will be responsible for his steady glove-work behind the stumps alongside making crucial runs at the middle-order of the game. If Ryan can score runs in the upcoming game, he will be the biggest threat to Paul Stirling and his men throughout the series.
Top
Tristan Stubbs SA | BAT- 8.5
He is young batter from the South African camp, having the ability to do most of the damage against the Ireland bowlers.
Lungi Ngidi SA | BOWL- 8.5
The right-arm pacer is the biggest threat for the Ireland camp. The star bowler will be looking to dismantle Ireland’s batting line up in the upcoming game.
Budget
Lorcan Tucker IRE | wk- 7.5
Tucker seems to be in the great form in the shortest format of the game in the recent few years. Must have this wicket keeper batter as a budget pick in your Dream 11 team.
Paul Stirling IRE | bat- 7.5
The Ireland captain will be taking onus on himself to do most of the damage against the runners up of the 2024 T20 WC team. Must have Stirling in your team owing to his stupendous form in the white-ball cricket.
