Their bowlers, led by Patrick Kruger, effectively stifled the Irish batting lineup.
The Proteas openers, Ryan Rickleton and Reeza Hendricks, provided a solid foundation for the chase, ensuring a comfortable victory.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Ireland Preview
Ireland got off to a decent start and kept the scoreboard ticking over despite losing a few wickets against the run of play. Lorcan Tucker had to miss out owing to an injury with Ross Adair taking his place.
He got a few boundaries away quickly, setting the pace. Captain Paul Stirling lost his pole a couple of deliveries later and Harry Tector couldn’t make his 15 ball stay in the middle count for much.
Credit to the Irish to keep the runs coming though. They finished the powerplay with 63 runs on the board for the loss of two wickets, but they took their feet off the pedal a bit approaching the ten over mark.
Curtis Campher, Neil Rock and George Dockrell added crucial runs in the middle order, but they let a lot of runs in the table especially in the back end, with just 21 runs coming from the last 19 balls.
Irish bowling was made to look clueless or rather toothless by the Proteas openers, who put on a 136-run stand for the first wicket to take the game completely away from the Irish.
Ireland Predicted Playing XI:
Paul Stirling(c), Ross Adair, Harry Tector, Curtis Campher, Neil Rock(w), George Dockrell, Mark Adair, Fionn Hand, Matthew Humphreys, Craig Young, Benjamin White

South Africa Preview
South Africa snapped their four-match losing record in T20 internationals with a dominant performance over Ireland, a side they have not lost to so far. Patrick Kruger headlined the Proteas bowling effort with a wonderful four over spell in which he castled four Irish players, including the top scorer Curtis Campher.
Pacers Lizaad Williams and Ottneil Baartman were happy to play second fiddle to the four spinners who took complete control with the 12 overs they sent down. They applied the brakes on the confident Irish middle order which was looking all set to capitalize on the excellent powerplay set up by the top order. 171 runs did not prove adequate in the end for the Ireland men, but chasing anything upwards of 170 was not easy.
And The Proteas openers, Ryan Rickleton and Reeza Hendricks, provided a strong foundation for the chase, ensuring a comfortable victory. Their ability to establish a solid partnership early on set the tone for the rest of the South African batting lineup.
They wasted no time in getting down to business and smashed 58 runs in the powerplay. They got to the 100-run mark in the eleventh over and the job was done with the equation down to 70 odd runs to get from the remaining overs. South Africa would be proud of the way they pegged Ireland back with the ball and of the manner in which their openers dismantled a deflated Irish attack.
South Africa Predicted Playing XI:
Ryan Rickelton(w), Reeza Hendricks, Matthew Breetzke, Aiden Markram(c), Tristan Stubbs, Wiaan Mulder, Patrick Kruger, Bjorn Fortuin, Nqaba Peter, Lizaad Williams, Ottneil Baartman
