South Africa clinched their ODI series against Ireland with a game to spare after a dominant victory in Abu Dhabi. Tristan Stubbs scored a spectacular 112 not out. South Africa posted 343/4, while Ireland struggled and were bowled out for 169. Concerns linger over skipper Temba Bavuma’s injury.
South Africa secured their ODI series victory over Ireland with a commanding performance in Abu Dhabi, thanks to a sensational unbeaten 112 by Tristan Stubbs. This career-best innings helped South Africa amass a formidable 343 for four in their allotted 50 overs.
Tristan Stubbs' stellar performance was complemented by Kyle Verreynne's 67 off 64 balls, contributing to a crucial 103-run partnership for the third wicket. However, South Africa faces a potential setback with captain Temba Bavuma suffering a soft tissue injury, which might sideline him for the upcoming Bangladesh tour.
Ireland's batting lineup faltered, managing only 169 in response, despite a 52-run last wicket stand between Graham Hume and Craig Young. Lizaad Williams shone for South Africa with 3-36, continuing his excellent form. The final ODI is set for Monday at the same venue.
