Live, WC 2015 SA vs IRE: Ireland fight back with 3 quick wickets
Posted March 3rd, 2015, 12:04 PM IST
Here are the live updates.
John Mooney gave Ireland an early breakthrough as South Africa lost their opener Quinton de Kock. The left-hander had so far struggled to up his game in the World Cup.
However, Hashim Amla and Faf du Plessis did not allow Ireland to make the second strike soon. The duo got involved in fifty-plus stand to steady the innings. The South African pair added another fifty to their accounts to strengthen the Proteas' position.

Enjoying a good time in the middle, the pair completed 150-run partnership in the 26th over. Amla, meanwhile, brought up his 20th ODI hundred as the scores went past 200-run mark. Faf du Plessis joined his Test skipper to notch up another ODI hundred.
While du Plessis displayed his love for innovation, it was Amla's strokeplay that left Ireland awestruck. The right-hander was severe against John Mooney as he scored 27 runs in 38th over.
Ireland finally managed to break the Amla-di Plessis' 247 run-partnership off 217 balls when Kevin O'Brien dismissed Faf in the 39th over.
The Proteas retained the same side that trounced the West Indies by 257 runs in Sydney last Friday, with fast bowler Dale Steyn set to play his 100th one-day international.
Ireland dropped Alex Cusack and included an extra slow bowler in off-spinner Andrew McBrine on a dry pitch that promises lots of runs.
The playing XIs.
Both teams have four points each, but South Africa have played three matches against Ireland's two.
India head the pool with six points from three games.
