Shamsi puts Ireland in a spin as S Africa win first Twenty20
The Peninsula
Left-arm wrist spinner Tabraiz Shamsi took four wickets as South Africa eased to a comfortable 33-run victory over Ireland in their first ever Twenty20 International meeting played at Malahide on Monday.
After being sent in to bat, South Africa posted 165 for seven in their 20 overs, losing their way after a fast start with Aidan Markram (39 from 30 balls) the top-scorer as a number of batsmen got starts but failed to go on and get a big score. Seamer Mark Adair (3-39) was the pick of the home bowlers with his changes of pace, while off-spinner Simi Singh (2-19) again impressed with his accuracy and variations.More Related News
