South Africa Women enter this match with overwhelming confidence after a dominant all-round display. Their batting unit looks more powerful and consistent, while their bowling attack has repeatedly troubled Ireland’s top order.

Ireland Women, though talented, lack the depth and experience to match South Africa in these conditions.
