Just hours after the Proteas women defeated West Indies in their opening match of the T20 World Cup in Dubai, the SA men secured a 174-run victory in the second ODI against Ireland in Abu Dhabi, winning their threematch series with a game to spare.
Set a hefty target of 344 runs to win, Ireland fell well short as their batting line-up crumbled against a Proteas attack led by seam bowlers Lizaad Williams (3/36) and Lungi Ngidi (2/38), as well as spinner Bjorn Fortuin (2/36).
