IRE VS SA, 3rd ODI: 3 Changes that South Africa needs to make to avoid whitewash against Ireland – South Africa is on the brink of a historic series loss against Ireland in the ODI series. Temba Bavuma’s side recorded their first-ever loss against Ireland in the history of ODI cricket in the second ODI. The first ODI was washed out after the host innings where captain Andrew Balbirnie and opener William Porterfield impressed everyone. In order to bounce back, South Africa will have to find a perfect team combination and will expect the top players to deliver.
In this article, we at Insidesport will take you through three changes that Temba Bavuma could make in the third ODI.

IRE VS SA, 3rd ODI: Rassie van der Dussen
South Africa middle-order batsman Rassie van der Dussen is the only other player than Janeman Malan, who impressed in the second ODI. He played a fighting knock of 49 runs in 70 balls. Bavuma can think of pushing him up the lineup in order to utilise his form.

IRE VS SA, 3rd ODI: Keshav Maharaj
All-rounder Keshav Maharaj has failed to impress with the bat as well as with the ball. He has picked just one wicket in two innings while he also 17 runs in the second game. Proteas can add Heinrich Klaasen who is a proper batsman and can give South Africa the finishing touch.

IRE VS SA, 3rd ODI: Anrich Nortje
South Africa bowler Anrich Nortje has failed to live up to the expectation in the second game. He leaked runs at a higher economy and was not able to take wickets as well. It is unlikely but Beuran Hendricks can replace Nortje in the final ODI.
