Ngidi to Balbirnie, no run, good length ball seaming in sharply from around off, Balbirnie is caught in the crease as he looks to block but is struck on the thigh pad. It was too high so no real appeal

Ireland have won the toss and have opted to bat

14:30 Local Time, 10:30 GMT, 16:00 IST: Hello and a warm welcome to our live coverage of the third and final T20I between Ireland and South Africa in Dubai. The Proteas have already sealed the series by winning both the previous games and that too comprehensively. Rickelton and Stubbs have been terrific with the bat and have received good support from the others. Lizaad Williams has stolen the limelight with the ball while the other bowlers have also played their roles to perfection. Having put in two dominant performances in a row, South Africa will be eyeing to whitewash Ireland. With a few injury concerns, expect South Africa to test their bench strength in this game. On the other hand, Ireland have been off-colour in this series so far. The Irish batters have failed to adjust to the slightly bowling-friendly conditions and have been found wanting against seam and swing. Their bowlers also haven't been penetrative enough. The Irishmen need to be at the top of their game to give the Proteas a run for their money. Can Ireland fire on all cylinders today and garner some pride? Or will South Africa steal the show once again? Stick around for the toss and team lineups...
