It’s the first ODI for South Africa since their dramatic run to the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup final against hosts and eventual winners India in Mumbai last month. The next world cup is in 2029.
South Africa have already won the first leg of the Irish tour with a 2-0 victory in the three-match T20I series with rain causing the final match to be abandoned without a ball bowled.
The final two matches in the ODI series take place at St George’s Park in Gqeberha on Tuesday and at the Wanderers in Johannesburg on Friday.

Proteas Women approach Ireland T20I series with a purpose

The last time Dane van Niekerk padded up for the Proteas, England still had a Queen, The Last of Us was only a video game and neither Lionel Messi nor any South African cricket team had lifted a World Cup. In fact, no South African team had even made it to the final of a major ICC event in the shorter format of the game.
