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

00:04between the hosts Ireland and South Africa.

00:10It's over mid-on and just one bounce for four.

00:18Stand and deliver from Ross Adair.

00:22Oh that's come right out of the middle of the bat.

00:30Not middled, it's gone up a long long way and Tristan Stubbs takes the catch.

00:42Bold, Bartman strikes in his first over.

00:47A little bit of an eerie fairy drive from Sterling, he's beaten through the gate.

00:51Edged and that one's away as is the way these days.

00:59That's nasty bold but even more impressive is the way he's played with it. It wasn't a half volley

01:04but boy oh boy has that been beautifully caressed through the covers by Kampha.

01:10That's beautifully played again, we saw a relatively straight drive through the cover

01:14area. This one goes square with an over pitched again and this is a driving exhibition

01:22from Kampha. Brings up the 50 for Ireland.

01:28Giving it away, up comes the reverse sweep. No turn to speak of and Tector has given it away.

01:38There's up and over extra cover, that's good placement, there is a sweeper back there and he

01:41makes a meal of it. There's the width, there's the gap, there's the execution, brilliant.

01:52It's nicely played, I think that's off the middle enough, yes it is.

01:55He's waltzed across onto off stump, picked it up and done it with a plump.

02:01Oh that's a freebie unfortunately.

02:07Early movement and that works out really really well.

02:15Sweep shot, doesn't get a hold of it this time, just skids on and crashes into the middle stump.

02:25Another good shot, brilliantly placed, up and over extra cover.

02:29That'll just keep going away from the man at long off and all the way, that's a sweet stroke from

02:35Dockrell. Well he's not going to get away with this one, you can stand and watch.

02:47It's gone high in the air and the catch is taken, it's Bartman and Kampha falls wide.

02:59One short of a half century, a much needed wicket that for South Africa.

03:08Is that off the glove? Kruger thinks so and it looks as though the dismissal has been given.

03:18Hand in at number eight and it's a brief stay for him. Kruger's on a hat-trick now.

03:37And another wicket for Kruger, courted extra cover this time, Adair goes.

03:48Ireland will be a little bit disappointed that they didn't get more than 171. 171 is not a bad

03:56score at this venue, batting first, but they would have felt that 190-200 was well within

04:01their grasp, particularly with how well Curtis Kampha played for his 49 and Neil Rock for his 37.

04:09The South African fast bowlers went round the park at the beginning and then the spin was

04:13introduced. Markram, Peter and Fortune fought back and they held the Irish at

04:18bay before Williams was magnificent at the back end of the innings.

04:24So 172 is what South Africa need and there are a lot of 20 overs.

04:29Let's go and see how the chase goes.

04:34Shot four.

04:35And that's timed, did well, low full toss, finds the boundary again, that's back to back.

04:51Shot four.

04:54He's got off to a decent start here, Rickleton.

05:00And eventually Reza Hendricks gets one off the middle and that's nicely played,

05:03a little bit of shape which meant it went square within initially would have anticipated but

05:08that's nicely struck.

05:12It's another one away, also over pitched and just opens the face does Reza Hendricks.

05:20That's beautifully played, three boundaries for the over.

05:27That's well played again, he's now beaming in confidence,

05:30anything that's over pitched he's happy to trust the pace, the bounce and go up and over.

05:39No shape there, it's a length delivery and Rickleton's got underneath that beautifully.

05:44It's away for a maximum, there comes the 50 for South Africa.

05:50And this one's up and flicked away a la Quentin de Cox style, that's massive.

05:55That's made a lovely sound off the bat as well.

06:05There's an appeal for a catch and the fingers gone up and straight away Hendricks reviews.

06:13A flat line, ball passes the bat, still flat line, flat line,

06:20okay, due to change of decision to not out, we're on screen now.

06:40Pulled away by Rickleton, that'll be six more.

06:42That's 50 for Ryan Rickleton, just 30 deliveries, strike rate in excess of 166.

06:56It's his first half century for South Africa in international cricket

07:00and it really has been a terrific effort.

07:02Six, a long boundary out there, but Riza Hendricks has picked that one up nicely.

07:12That's beautifully dealt with by Ryan Rickleton. I think he'll be looking at how much required

07:18and thinking I have to get quite a high percentage of this to get my three figures.

07:24Straight away you saw the reaction from Riza Hendricks as the ball made contact with his pad

07:28and he's going to maybe try and rally up some support, but I don't think there's much

07:32going in his favor. I think that's on the back leg hitting the stumps

07:36and he's decided not to review, he's on his way.

07:41Oh, it's worked a treat, absolute treat. The last way he thought that he would have got out,

07:46Rickleton, would be to give himself room and pick out the man on the offside.

07:52On the reverse. Michael Dare, well, he's not going to hold that in.

07:56He's going to try and rally up some support, but I don't think there's much going in his favor.

08:01I think that's on the back leg hitting the stumps and he's decided not to review, he's on his way.

08:10Oh, that's short and it's been pumped, dispatched with ease for four.

08:23Oh, I tell you what, the sound of that sounded good

08:26and there's a very good reason for it because it's a maximum for Metro Brescia.

08:29We'll do the conference the world of good. That is the finishing moment for South Africa.

08:44It also concludes the highest successful run chase at this ground in 67 T20 internationals.

08:52South Africa winning this contest by eight wickets.
