The Ireland Women's IRE-W's tour of South Africa will come to an end when they face the South Africa Women SA-W for the third ODI on Friday, December 19 at the iconic venue of The Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg. The game is a dead rubber, as the hosts have already won the series.
The Proteas have been at their absolute best throughout the white-ball series. They started the tour by whitewashing the visitors in the three-match T20I series, and carried the performance in the couple of ODIs as well, winning both of them convincingly to seal the series win. Laura Wolvaardt Co. will simply be hoping for a whitewash in the ODIs by clinching a victory in the last match as well.
Ireland Women, on the other hand, haven't been able to stage any real fight across the five games on the tour so far. The Gaby Lewis-led unit hasn't been able to stand straight in front of a power-packed line-up of the hosts, which has costed them a huge disappointment. However, they will look to bringing A-game in the upcoming match to end the series on a high and return home with something to cheer about.
