SCORECARD<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n"We are absolutely delighted," said skipper Paul Stirling after Ireland's first victory over South Africa in a T20. "(It) Could have gone either way."<\/p>\r\n\r\n
After a crushing eight-wicket victory in the first match, South Africa captain Aiden Markram opted to send the Irish in to bat after winning the toss.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
And Ireland's openers took control, with Ross Adair and Stirling sharing a 137-run partnership before Stirling fell for 52 in the 13th over.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Ross Adair, given several lives by dropped catches, kept going as wickets started to tumble at the other end.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
From the first ball of the 18th over, he tried to stretch the single that brought up his 100 into a two and was run out, having clobbered five fours and nine sixes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Even though Ireland's innings slightly subsided, their total of 195 for six wickets proved to be enough.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Wiaan Mulder was the most dangerous South African bowler with two wickets for 51 runs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
South Africa then started their innings briskly, as Ryan Rickelton hit four sixes on his way to a rapid 36 before falling to Graham Hume and Reeza Hendricks hit 51, including six fours and a six.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Even though captain Markram was bowled by Matthew Humphreys for eight, South Africa were close to the required run rate after 13 overs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Then the younger Adair brother, Mark, went to work with the ball, taking the next four wickets to fall, including the threatening Matthew Breetzke who had hit 51.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
None of the last seven South African batsmen reached double figures as they fell 10 runs short, Mark Adair ended with figures of 4-31 and Hume took 3-25.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Brief scores:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\nIreland 195-6 off 20 overs (R. Adair 100, Stirling 52, Dockrell 20; Mulder 2-51)<\/p>\r\n\r\n
South Africa 185-9 off 20 overs (Hendricks 51, Breetzke 51, Rickelton 36; M. Adair 4-31, Hume 3-25)<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Result: Ireland won by 10 runs<\/p>\r\n\r\n
