Hendricks (42), Klassen (39) and captain David Miller (34*) made some solid contributions with the willow that took Proteas to a good total and provided a great deal of acceleration to run-making. A 71-run stand between Klassen and skipper Miller served as the backbone of South Africa's innings this time.Chasing 183, Ireland never really looked as a threat. Two forty-plus stands between Paul Stirling and Harry Tector and later Tector and Curtis Campher did occur.

He was dismissed by Barry McCarthy.van der Dussen also fell to Andy McBrine for just 4, reducing SA to 2/52.Markram was next up on crease and he hit some big shots. The 32-run stand between him and Hendricks ended with Hendricks getting clean bowled for 42 off 40 balls by Delany. Markram was also dismissed for 27 off 10 balls. Proteas were 85/4 and desperately needed a partnership.Klassen and Miller provided just that. Both batters upped the run-making speed with plenty of fours and sixes. They stitched a quickfire 71-run stand in just 28 balls, which ended with Klassen's dismissal by Joshua Little for 39 off 16 balls.Dwaine Pretorius scored a decent 17 off seven balls before Mark Adair dismissed him. Miller took SA to 182/6 at the end of their innings.Chasing 183, Ireland was off to a terrible start as Parnell sent back captain Andy Balbirnie and wicketkeeper batter Lorcan Tucker in the second over, reducing the hosts to 2/2. Paul Stirling and Harry Tector put on a solid stand, which was cut short at 38 runs. Stirling was looking good but Lungi Ngidi dismissed him for 28 off 16.
