Inn Break
Right then. That's it from the coverage of this game. The Proteas have a take a 1-0 lead in this two-match T20I series. These two will cross swords again in the final game of the series on 5th August, 2022. The first ball will be bowled at 11 pm IST (5.30 pm GMT). But as you all know you can join us early for the build-up. Until then, take care and goodbye.
Keshav Maharaj, the victorious stand-in skipper is in for a chat. He says that David Miller woke up with a niggle and he was unable to take the field today. Says the boys played well and the win is the cherry on the top. Admits that the reserve players are performing well as they did against England as well and this will only prove to be a headache for the coaches. He says that they knew they had a good total on the board but Lorcan Tucker and George Dockrell played really well. Credits the bowlers for doing well to restrict Ireland towards the end. Says they will be taking rest the following day.
Andy Balbirnie, the Ireland skipper, is in for a chat. He starts by saying in T20I games these days 200 is expected to be chased down. Feels they were in the game for a long but losing two set batters on consecutive deliveries took the game away from them. Says that they have proven to perform well against these top side but it only depends on how they close these games and hopes they are able to change their fortune by levelling the series.
Reeza Hendricks wins the PLAYER OF THE MATCH award for his incredible knock. He says that he has been working really hard for weeks and even years and that is helping him at this moment. He agrees to the fact that he is enjoying the English conditions. Says that they lost a couple of wickets early and Aiden Markram played really well to support him and set up the game. Admits that there is a lot of quality on the sidelines and it is good to see the players taking their chances.
Stay tuned for the presentation...
Earlier in the innings, South African innings was led by Reeza Hendricks with his fourth half-century on the trot in T20Is. He found a great partner in Aiden Markram and they managed to stable the ship for the side. Later, some hard-hitting of Tristan Stubbs and Dwaine Pretorius helped them to set a target of 212. During the chase, Ireland were in the game for a long time, but losing George Dockrell and Lorcan Tucker in quick succession took the game away from them.
It is the death bowlers that have managed to seal the game for South Africa here. Taking nothing away from the two spinners, who worked in tandem in the middle to tighten the screws but the way the seamers ended this innings was just outstanding. Wayne Parnell nailed five yorkers in the final over before getting smacked for a maximum, while Lungi Ngidi dominated with his slower balls. Tabraiz Shamsi, Wayne Parnell and Keshav Maharaj picked up a brace each, while the rest of the bowlers took a wicket apiece.
Chasing 200 and above always gets tricky in the shortest format of the game, although Ireland put up a fight right till the end. Both their openers departed inside the Powerplay after getting starts. The chances looked bleak after Tector slipped out on a timid score. It seems like Lorcan Tucker might be loving his new role at number 3 as he smacked 78 runs. He along with George Dockrell stitched a 86-run stand at the rate of knots. The Irish looked to be back on track but these two batters fell is quick succession which put them on the back foot yet again. It was tough ask for the tail-enders and they crumbled under the impressive death bowling of the Proteas.
Wow! This was a feast to be honest. A great game of cricket overall. South Africa did come out victorious but Ireland gave them a run for their money.

DRINKS! Ireland started the chase really well. They had to keep the attacking intent on and that might've been the cause of their downfall.

There is a review taken by South Africa. The replays show it is clearly pad first and then bat. Ball Tracking shows two reds and one umpires call and the ball is just clipping the leg stumps. The onfield decision remains and Lorcan Tucker survives.
