Today's 2nd ODI match of Ireland vs South Africa team has already started. South Africa team is now out to bat. They have scored 137 runs for the loss of 2 wickets in 24 overs. If Ireland team can improve their bowling line, South Africa team batsmen will be under pressure.  Batsman Ryan Rickelton got out with 40 runs off 39 balls. Temba Bavuma scored 35 runs off 39 balls. If South Africa team bats well in today's match, they can give a target of 280 runs.

South Africa are again on the good start in the 2nd ODI. They have made 162 runs and lost only 2 wickets. With 20 overs still remaining in the innings and with 8 wickets in hand, it is obvious that they will make 300+ runs today and knowing that Ireland aren't strong in the batting, they probably will lose this match. Kyle Verreynne is batting on 45 and he probably deserves his 50. Earlier Ryan Rickelton was out on 40 while the captain Temba Bavuma was retired hurt.

Right now i got an odd of 1.08 for the South Africa win and based on the match conditions, i decided to place the bet on them.  
We can call this a safe bet.

No matter which run target the South Africa team sets, it will depend on the batting of the Ireland team, which team will win this match. I am waiting to see how well the Ireland team will bat in today's match.  240 runs have been scored by losing 3 wickets in the over. Let's see which team will win this match till the end.

Ireland vs South Africa Today match South Africa team scored great runs, they batted well from the start. They finished batting brilliantly till the last moment and made a huge score. Tristan Stubbs still unbeaten scored 112 runs and his batting performance was impressive. Moreover, the batsmen of the South African team have batted well from the opening today due to which the South African team has given a huge target of 343 runs against Ireland in today's match. However, since the first ODI match we saw was won by South Africa in a spectacular manner, there is a possibility of winning this match as well. If they win today's match, they will win the series.

I do not understand this thinking that, no matter what, how you still think that Ireland can bat well to reach a 340+ target ? I would say that even if it was Australia or England as the opponent instead of Ireland, even they would have not able to win this match, so expecting Ireland to do a miracle is expecting too much from them.

If Ireland can make only 200 runs in this match, it is a big success for them to be able to reach 200 figures in this immense pressure situation. It is the innings break now but once the Ireland team starts their innings, I do not think that they can survive for long. Losing this match also means that Ireland will lose the series too.
