00:00off we go
00:14a little bit of swing first up there ortain at backward point and sterling underway
00:26off the mark in emphatic fashion
00:30uh beautifully timed by paul sterling that's sterling at his best really he's
00:39so strong through the offside he stayed leg side there just open the face of the bat
00:47has to reach for that but he's reached pretty effectively it's gone all the way for six
00:52that'll be four more that's a lovely shot square of the wicket on the offside
01:05does exactly that and the key was he got the ball he was after but could he place it between
01:09a strong offside field indeed he could that's nicely played use of the feet has he got enough
01:18sets himself but not going to get anywhere near so another really good over from island 12 from
01:23that one four completed 39 without loss smiles on the faces poverty does just opens the face
01:30that is brilliantly played there was nothing wrong with that delivery i think if we have
01:33a look at the replay you'll see it's almost middle and middle and legs stump
01:40oh that's nicely played i actually quite like the variation we haven't seen any short pitch
01:45deliveries from any of the south african bowlers whether it's in the power play or
01:51not in the power play adair looks to find boundaries he has another
01:59oh he got that that was an almighty clatter
02:05he came hurtling down the wicked as well a day
02:08oh that's gone we might have to get another one because that's gone a mile
02:20oh that's gone that'll be 50 that will be 50 what a way to bring it up for ross adair
02:28his second t20 50 but is it better is that the best one so far
02:32straight firm all the way adair is creating huge problems here for south africa nine gone
02:42island 98 without loss
02:46and now he goes through extra cover that's a delightful stroke from sterling
02:52hit some mighty sixes here so far use of the feet again and that's beautifully stuck straight
02:57and there's another one nearly cleans up his own dugout
03:03he's gone in it and i'm not even concerned in the slightest mainly concerned for the crowd
03:10because it's a maximum of massive length
03:15plain delivery this one he does get bat on ball and he places it really well
03:19and it goes to the fence an apology from lungi and i think it's about the line he just gave it
03:24too much width and all-time run getter and on this occasion he's gone it's that slow ball once
03:32again it does it for kruger pace off pace off that is what this surface is crying out for
03:42he's balling it into the surface rolling at fingers over it an excellent take by ryan
03:46rickleton that's the captain gone for 52 137 for one older once again this could be two and two
03:56oh no the standards that we see on the boundary ropes these days that was a bit of a dolly it was
04:03a catch lob it in the air step over step back lazard williams will be disappointed evening again
04:11he's beautifully played that's just caressed one balance and another boundary
04:15this is fantastic striking here arosadere really has been exceptional
04:20oh
04:25detector struggles continues but you can understand he's looking to get on with it
04:33cleans him up good bowling decent pace 136 kilometers an hour gone for five 156 for two
04:43oh that's gone out the ground but there'll be a free hit for certain
04:48because that is well above waist height yep
04:55here we go free hit tuck leg side what a moment magnificent batting from ross adair
05:05into the side ahead of anju balbirnie and what a way to announce yourself on the world stage 57
05:14nine gloriously hit sixes i don't have a new star at the top of the order
05:24well don't worry about this this is out straight to the man bretsker in the deep
05:30but that is a wonderful innings that has to come to an end from ross adair he stood and watched the
05:35first part of his innings as paul sterling was quite brilliant up front but then he found his
05:40rhythm and he found his power and he produced an absolute beauty marvelous innings comes to an end
05:49hitting into the longer boundary it's 78 yards into the wind it's a good catch marvelous innings
05:55from ross adair brilliant for ireland the moment he will cherish forever gone for 100 174 for three
06:01two big wickets at the back end of the innings slow ball at the back of the hand not an easy
06:23skill to possess and perfect comfort on the charge first ball good catch in the deep
06:29back-to-back wickets for south africa camphor gone for naught 175 before
06:36old slower ball again rock through the shot and gidi's a happy man
06:44south africa well they've blasted back into this contest now at one stage island were 137 without
06:51loss that's part of what deceived neil rock was through the shot far too early
06:58and he knew before that ball hit the stumps before he heard the death rattle that he'd
07:03made a mistake it's neil rock he goes for one ireland 176 for five
07:12he's the man who tends to set up for the slower delivery looks come back for two i think he's
07:18short yes the umpire not even going upstairs finger going up you can see how short he is i
07:26thought the only thing they might want you to check was if the ball came out of rickleton's hands
07:40this could be that boundary that ireland have been looking for
07:49so good last over from lazard williams just eight runs from it it's ireland's highest total
07:58in a 2020 international against south africa previous highest was in august 2022 in bristol
08:07we've made 190 for nine they still lost that match by 21 runs 195 for six they've ended up with
08:15a good start an excellent start from ireland sterling and ross adair both passing 50 then
08:22adair got to the hundred and then he was out and after that it was south africa
08:26on top and they took wickets with regularity london giddy was introduced into the south
08:32african side and you could tell his experience was brilliant one for 23 12 dot deliveries
08:37williams good at the back end mulder picked up two peter was punished a little bit as was fontaine
08:43so at the end of the island means 195 for six after they were put into bat that means south
08:50africa will require 196 for victory that will be a record chase on this ground in a 2020 international
08:57here we go and that's an interesting start and you can see just a little signal from rickleton
09:03that one actually moved away maybe he was expecting a little bit of shape back into him
09:08and his homework that one unfortunately starts wide and it's beautifully punched
09:14off the back foot it's a quick outfield and that'll be south africa's first boundary
09:21no shape knows if it's over pitched he can back himself just with a straight
09:25bat angle to try and take it over long on and does it well
09:30big fan of that shot that's gone the distance there's the first maximum i didn't know if the
09:35timing was good enough because it seemed so graceful and so easy from rickelton
09:43that's a flat back over the bowler's head and all the way that is some shot
09:49got it tell you if you give him any sort of room to free those arms he is a sweet striker
09:56of the cricket ball
10:01fine and four
10:04now the pressure is on hand
10:06fine and four
10:10now the pressure is on hand
10:15he goes over mid on and that might be all the way as well you know it has
10:24and the ball just dies this should be taken and is and it's ryan rickleton the in full man for
10:32south africa he was looking mighty fine but ireland have struck curtis camphor made no mistake
10:38on this occasion into the pitch from graham hume just holds up a little bit it looks like it rushed
10:45rickleton have a look the hands absolutely no chance that that's touching the ground
10:50ground from curtis camphor ryan rickleton goes for a well-made 36 from 22 south africa
10:55lose their first 50 for one
11:01that's four into the gap between deep backward square leg and deep mid wicket and again as was
11:08the case on friday white dropping short it's the end of seven overs 62 for one
11:16six
11:18get up
11:20was always just going to make that the man right on the boundary i think it was curtis camphor out there
11:29camphor that's really clever batting from bridskip he opened the face of the
11:36bat it was a slower ball a little bit of a cutter he over no he can't brilliantly
11:44oh it would have been an absolute blunder of a catch i didn't realize that long off
11:48was as wide as he was he launched himself but couldn't get his left paw on it 97 for one
11:56much straighter and that's where he's got it exactly what you're talking about just open the
12:00bat face to get up and underneath it and away to the fence she goes so it's one deagle delivery
12:06and it's already seven from the over white paradigm edge it's gonna find the boundary
12:13to that same area that's 17 from the over wonderful over for south africa and brings
12:18up the 50 for reese hendricks back to back 50s
12:25oh yes taken sterling an extra cover
12:33have a look at point of contact there he was touching on the length and that was a bit of
12:37length it wasn't over pitched he couldn't just get it down the ground he almost had to reach to get
12:42it dipped a little bit 51 of 32 south africa now found themselves 121 for two
12:49first sweep and gone that was a very flat delivery with high speed
12:54and the south african captain's on his way
12:59quicker delivery there from humphries fuller as well very difficult to come in and play that shot
13:04and that's his first wicket for the series matthew humphries ball well deserve that
13:08in markham goes for eight from five said after lose their captain they're 130 for three
13:16over extra cover and six not for the first time this evening island not able to get out of an over
13:24the last ball conceding a boundary 143 for three south africa five overs to go
13:30so
13:34super shot that from bretsky
13:45what an exceptional shot that is from tristan stubbs that was a slower ball
13:50and he really had to bully that he had to muscle it through extra cover and that's exactly what he
13:54did shout for a catch and stubs is gone well they needed a wicked island and they've got it
14:06stubs frustrated it's exactly where he wanted it tristan stubbs better through
14:14neil rock does the rest healthy edge no doubt about it stubs gone for nine 157 before
14:25and that'll be four
14:29a little bit of width there and molder capitalizes just opens the face of the bat third man quite
14:34fine 23 required for south africa he starts with a short pitch live it pops up in the air can he
14:41take the catch himself he can indeed and that means the new bet is on strike although they've
14:46crossed so molder running down the wicket unable to make any sort of effective contact and that's
14:53another big blow for the south african chase into the surface that's a slow ball that we're talking
14:59about it's effective on the surface an excellent running catch africa now 173 for five into the
15:08night sky let's get hits it hits it hard but it's not enough he's taking it long on so two
15:14wickets and three deliveries and all of a sudden this run chase for south africa is going pear
15:18shaped might have missed his hat trick ball but the very next ball will cut into the surface and
15:26all he can do is find the field out at long on excellent catch big pressure catch it's a big
15:31moment for iris south africa now 174 for six
15:38in the field third man comes into the ring oh brilliant catch stalling
15:42on the edge of the circle launches himself to his left he's got good hands
15:46and moved superbly there so that's another wicket for a dare he picks up his fourth of the evening
15:53peter goes for four south africa now 178 for seven
15:57that's the thick edge and that's a bonus boundary that gives him half a chance
16:03walks across and gets bald i think he's dragged it onto the stumps himself or is it a change up in
16:09line and length from him but whatever it is it's mightily effective that could be the final nail
16:16in the coffin for south africa this occasion sees kruger moving across early and he's got
16:24across early and he's gone for the timber and guess what it's another wicket for the iris
16:32kruger he goes for five south africa now 182 for eight
16:38popped up in the air could be another one it is that's raining wickets here in rbw
16:46the fifth wicket to fall in the last two overs
16:49sticking with that ploy the plan of sobel into the surface taking all the pace off
16:54easiest of catches it's short third man south africa now 182 for nine island but more importantly
17:01a collapse for south africa he smashes it down the ground for a single but it's insignificant
17:07south africa reached 185 that's 10 short of what they needed to do and ireland win the second t20
17:14international to level the series one apiece oh boy can't we have a third one can't we have a
17:20third one no we can't the series is shared and a brilliant performance by the irish asked to bat
17:27first they posted 195 and in defending it comfortably south africa 185 for nine
17:34after being in a strong position to win the encounter
