00:00We're at the Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi for this first T20 international

00:15between the hosts Ireland and South Africa.

00:21Here we go then.

00:22First of five white ball matches between these two sides.

00:29Straight away a bit of bounce for Williams there.

00:36It's over mid-on and just one bounce for four.

00:39Tremendous start that by Ross Adair.

00:45Stand and deliver from Ross Adair.

00:48No real foot movement but the swing of the bat is pure and he gets four more.

00:56Oh that's come right out of the middle of the bat and it's gone a long, long way.

01:01Up onto the bank.

01:02What a sweet sound that made and what a tremendous first over for Ireland after they've been

01:07put into bat.

01:0816 without loss.

01:21Not middled.

01:22It's gone up a long, long way.

01:25And Tristan Stubbs takes the catch.

01:29So Adair, he lived by the sword and he's eventually died by it.

01:36Ross Adair is so strong in that region.

01:39This occasion just dragging it back by Vian Mulder.

01:42He's hit it high up into the night sky.

01:45That's an excellent catch.

01:46Dangerous Adair.

01:48He goes for 18.

01:50Ireland 21 for 1.

01:54Bold.

01:55Bartman strikes in his first over.

01:58A little bit of an airy-fairy drive from Sterling.

02:03He's beaten through the gate.

02:05The gap between bat and pad and all of a sudden a disappointing start for South Africa has

02:09become a very good one.

02:11It's that back of a length.

02:14He's nor forward nor back.

02:15Not committing to the stroke.

02:18The dangerous Sterling.

02:19He goes for 2.

02:20Ireland 26 for 2.

02:24Edged.

02:25And that one's away.

02:26As is the way these days in T20 cricket, often don't have a third man in place.

02:30South Africa trying to cover their bases, having a slip and a man catching, unfortunately

02:35for Mulder.

02:36He doesn't find any hands and to the boundary she goes.

02:42That's not the best delivery from Mulder.

02:43He'd be disappointed with that.

02:44The other one, he was unlucky to go away to the fence.

02:46This one, unfortunately, it's bad bowling.

02:52That's nasty ball.

02:53But even more impressive is the way he's played with it.

02:55It wasn't a half volley, but boy, oh boy, has that been beautifully caressed through

02:59the covers by Kampha.

03:03Make that 16 of 12.

03:04That is the best one we've seen from him.

03:06Fantastic shot.

03:07Catch me, catch me.

03:08Giving it away.

03:13Up comes the reverse sweep.

03:16No turn to speak of.

03:18And Tector has given it away.

03:20In particular, the reverse sweep is difficult to play against him, but top edge, get a little

03:25bit of extra bounce on this surface.

03:27Nice hard surface and taken by Lizard-Williams.

03:31Tector goes for 16, Arden 64 for three.

03:38Edge that'll run away for four.

03:40The outfield is so true, it's so quick.

03:44May be fortunate, but they'll take him.

03:49Goes up and over extra cover.

03:50That's good placement.

03:51There is a sweeper back there and he makes a meal of it.

03:58There's the width.

03:59There's the gap.

04:00There's the execution.

04:01Brilliant.

04:02It's what we wanted, Polly.

04:04It's what we recommended.

04:08It's nasty play.

04:09I think that's off the middle enough.

04:10Yes, it is.

04:12He's waltzed across onto off stump, picked it up, and done it with a plump.

04:19That's a freebie, unfortunately.

04:21He won't be happy with that Kruger with fine leg being set up and Rock just waltzing onto

04:27that off stump.

04:28That was easy pickings.

04:32Early movement and that works out really, really well.

04:35Looking to open up deep extra cover and that worked out perfectly.

04:39Do play a part as the game goes on.

04:42That's nasty.

04:43Slug swept and it lands and bounces safely.

04:46I thought he had enough contact, but John T. Rhodes always used to say, unless you dive,

04:52you'll never know.

04:55Sweep shot doesn't get a hold of it this time, just skids on and crashes into the middle

05:00stump.

05:01It's a massive, massive moment in this game.

05:12Gone for 37, 123 for four.

05:20Another good shot.

05:21Brilliantly placed.

05:22Up and over extra cover.

05:28They'll just keep going away from the man at long off and all the way.

05:33That's a sweet stroke from Dockrell.

05:36Well, he's not going to get away with this one.

05:40You can stand and watch as it flies onto the bank and brings up the island 150.

05:51Bull toss, not meddled, but it's gone to the boundary.

05:55And that really, in a nutshell, sums up the way South Africa have been bowling today.

06:02It's gone high in the air and the catch is taken.

06:09It's Bartman and Kampha falls one short of a half century, a much needed wicket that

06:17for South Africa.

06:21Into the pitch, just on to Kampha, a little bit quicker than he was thinking it would.

06:26It's getting on a little bit.

06:27Good catch as well.

06:28Bartman, we saw him put one down earlier on, grabbed on this time.

06:31Kampha goes for 49, Ireland 158 for five.

06:39Was that off the glove?

06:42Kruger thinks so and it looks as though the dismissal has been given.

06:49So frustration for Dockrell, a good slower ball bouncer from Kruger.

06:53The last over, hangs it in short, yeah, it was the cue in.

06:57He middled the cue, but unfortunately it just popped up in the air for the man with the

07:01sore knee, Ryan Rickleton, to take the catch.

07:03Kicking them up at the regularity at the back end, meaning Ireland can't launch an attack.

07:0921 he goes for, 166.

07:15Fionn Hand in at number eight, and it's a brief stay for him.

07:20Kruger's on a hat trick now.

07:21He's got a lot of slower delivery, so the lap shot, the ramps, they're not the options,

07:26not enough pace on the ball.

07:29It's straight to the fielder.

07:31Fionn Hand goes without scoring, Ireland 169 for seven now.

07:39And another wicket for Kruger.

07:42That extra cover this time, and there it goes.

07:47At the back end as a bowler, sometimes you can be made to look like a kippy where you

07:50could disappear all around the ground, but he's been looked like a king today as King

07:54Kruger.

07:55And there it goes for eight, 170 for eight.

07:58Pleased with how they've finished up, and especially pleased with Neil Rock coming in

08:01at number five, took his opportunity, 37 for him.

08:05Campfer was the best for Ireland today, 49 from 36, Adair up the top.

08:11Another made himself felt coming into the team, 18 for him.

08:14Yeah, best bowling figures in his career for Kruger, four for 27, finished strong most

08:18of deliveries as well.

08:21It's a word that's banded around quite often now in T20 cricket, matchups.

08:32Generally the left arm spinner doesn't want to bowl to the left-hander, particularly in

08:36a power play.

08:40Shot four.

08:48That's timed, did well, low full toss, finds the boundary again.

08:51That's back to back.

08:56Shot four.

09:00He's got off to a decent start here, Rickleton.

09:05And eventually Reza Hendricks gets one off the middle, and that's nicely played.

09:08A little bit of shape, which meant it went square within initially would have anticipated,

09:12but that's nicely struck.

09:17It's another one away, also over-pitched, and just opens the face does Reza Hendricks.

09:26That's beautifully played.

09:27Three boundaries for the over.

09:34That's well played again, he's now beaming in confidence.

09:37Anything that's over-pitched, he's happy to trust the pace, the bounce, and go up and

09:41over.

09:42He uses his feet and gets this one away to the fence as well, so trying to change up

09:48the length.

09:49Two deliveries landed in the right area, Hendricks says, OK, I'm going to mess with you a little

09:52bit.

09:53He charges down, and then the extra drag down with Young seeing him coming means that he

09:58can just help it on his way.

10:00No shape there, it's a length delivery, and Rickleton's got underneath that beautifully.

10:07It's away for a maximum, there comes the 50 for South Africa.

10:13And this one's up and flicked away, a la Quentin de Kock style, that's massive.

10:21That's made a lovely sound off the bat as well.

10:25One of the biggest boundaries here at the Zide Cricket Stadium, and Rickleton's cleared

10:30it comfortably.

10:35Pulled away by Rickleton, that'll be six more.

10:45Six.

10:46It's a long boundary out there, but Reza Hendricks has picked that one up nicely.

10:52Oh, that's a gift, that's a real drag down, and Hendricks is into position early, and

10:58he doesn't miss out.

11:01That's another example of an eased batting, this is going to be a great shot, over extra

11:06cover for another maximum.

11:10Free hit.

11:11Oh, this might be two, it might be back to back free hits, but more importantly for Reza

11:15Hendricks, that takes him to his 16th T2050.

11:19That's beautifully dealt with by Ryan Rickleton, I think he'll be looking at how much required

11:29and thinking, I have to get quite a high percentage of this to get my three figures.

11:35That could be close, and he is, his finger goes up.

11:42Straight away you saw the reaction from Reza Hendricks, as the ball made contact with his

11:46pad and he's going to maybe try and rally up some support, but I don't think there's

11:49much going in his favour.

11:51I think that's on the back leg, hitting the stumps, and he's decided not to review, he's

11:55on his way.

11:56Reza Hendricks goes for 51, South Africa lose their first, they're 136 for one.

12:01The short pitch delivery or Yorker leg stump?

12:04No?

12:05Oh, it's worked a treat, absolute treat.

12:08The last way you thought that he would have got out, Rickleton, would be to give himself

12:12room and pick out the man on the offside.

12:16Looks to lift it over the offside field instead, he's just lifted it into the hands of the

12:20waiting fielder, Curtis Camper, it takes an easy one.

12:27A little shimmy down the surface, that's good batting, really clever and a couple of bounces

12:31and trickles into the ropes.

12:36On the reverse, Mark O'Dear, well, he's not going to hold that in, that's clever batting.

12:42Only one man there, we saw Ireland try it, with two men positioned there, boundary to

12:46finish, 10 off it, 149 for two.

12:51Well, that's short and it's been pumped, dispatched, with ease for four.

13:02Excellent shot from Aidan Markham, using the pace, understanding, point and third minutes

13:07up in the ring and dissecting the two fielders.

13:12Oh, I tell you what, the sound of that sounded good and there's a very good reason for it

13:17because it's a maximum for Matthew Brianska.

13:23They'll do their confidence the world of good.

13:26And that is the finishing moment for South Africa.

13:33It also concludes the highest successful run chase at this ground in 67 T20 internationals.

13:41South Africa winning this contest by eight wickets.

13:45South Africa won the toss, entering Ireland into the batting arena.

13:50Ireland managed to get the 17148.

13:53Kampha and Rock, those were the two substantial run getters for Ireland, but Kruger, he was

14:00the man that did all the damage towards the back end to curb Ireland from getting to a

14:06big score here this evening.

14:08Well, in pursuit, South Africa, Ryan Rickleton and Reza Hendricks, that opening partnership

14:13yielding 136 runs.

14:16We really set the tone for the South African lineup.

14:20Getting themselves to 174 for two, a convincing run chase.

14:25We see South Africa winning this contest by eight wickets and leading the series 1-0.
