Ireland will take on South Africa in the third and final ODI of the three match series. The match will be played at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates on October 7 at 5:00 PM IST. 

The South African team have already sealed the series by winning the first two matches. They will be looking to complete a clean sweep by putting up another dominating show in this game. Although they have received a set back as Temba Bavuma has been ruled out of this match and Wiaan Mulder has also left the team due to personal reasons.

Ireland will be looking to put up a better fight in this game and make the South Africans work hard for their win. They need to improve their performance in all the aspects of the game to prevent a clean sweep in the series. 

How will the Sheik Zayed Stadium's pitch behave?

The pitch at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium has behaved a bit differently from the traditional tracks in the UAE. With a tinge of grass cover there has been a bit of help for the seamers with the new ball at the beginning of both innings. However, in general it has been a flat track favouring the batters and the spinners have also had a say towards the laters stages of the games.
