South Africa beat Ireland by 139 runs
Right then, that's it from the coverage of this game. South Africa take a 1-nil lead in this 3 match ODI series. These two teams will meet again on 4th October for the second ODI. The first ball will be at 11.30 am GMT. Although, you can join us early for the build-up. ADIOS!
Temba Bavuma, the winning skipper is in for a chat. He starts by saying that it was a strong start to the series, with the team managing to post a competitive total. Ryan and Stubbs were outstanding with the bat, and the lower order made valuable contributions as well. The bowlers were disciplined and executed their plans perfectly, which worked in the team's favor. As for Tony de Zorzi, the update is that he will go for a scan tomorrow, and they will assess the situation after that. The bowling unit performed exceptionally well with the new ball, applying consistent pressure by bowling in the right areas, which ultimately brought success.
Paul Stirling, the skipper of Ireland is in for a chat here. He expressed pride in the moment, especially with his father watching. The pitch did more than expected, offering some movement both in the evening and early on. However, a couple of dropped catches cost them the chance to control the game earlier. Reflecting on missed opportunities, he acknowledged that failing to capitalize when South Africa was three down allowed the opposition to build a crucial partnership. Hopes to regroup and come back stronger on Friday.
Ryan Rickelton wins the Player of the Match award for his outstanding knock of 91. He says they were under pressure but he was just looking to build a partnership and bat long. The tail wagged well to add those runs towards the end.
Stay tuned for the presentation...
Earlier in the innings, South Africa lost three wickets inside the first Powerplay, but that fourth-wicket stand brought them back in the contest. Ryan Rickelton and Tristan Stubbs did a wonderful job to give a boost to the score. Later, the tail-enders came in and chipped in with some crucial runs to put up a great target. Mark Adair was inspirational for with the ball. He dominated with the new ball, but could not find much support from his spinners.
For Ireland, they just could not form partnerships. They kept losing wickets at regular intervals. A couple of their batters got off to starts but none went onto make it into something significant. In the end, they have fallen well short of the target that was set for them.
A brilliant effort from South Africa and they have bagged a strong win here! After setting a par target for their opposition, South Africa's bowlers began brilliantly. The likes of Ngidi and Lizaad Williams were excellent. They got early wickets which pushed Ireland onto the back foot and they just didn't recover after that. Ottneil Baartman along with Bjorn Fortuin managed to continue the pressure in the middle overs. Five bowlers were used in total and all of them picked a wicket at least. Williams was the pick with a four-fer.

Ottneil Baartman To Stephen Doheny OUT!
OUT! TIMBER! There goes another one! Length and around off. This jags back in. Doheny looks to defend but it goes between bat and pad and hits the stumps.
HALT! Tony de Zorzi is down in the deep. His knee gets stuck in the field, and might've injured himself in the process. The umpire signals a DRINKS BREAK! South Africa have been lethal with the new ball. Especially Lizaad Williams who is picking up wickets for fun. The ball is talking much more under the lights, Ireland need a stand that gets them back in the contest. So far it is a one-way traffic.

Andy Balbirnie looks to defend it out on his front foot but fails to get any bat on it. The ball sneaks through the gap and hits the top of off.
