The explosive innings of skipper Temba Bauma, Reza Hendricks and David Miller helped South Africa beat Ireland by 49 runs in the third and Swatch cleaned up the T20I 3-0. South Africa, batting first after winning the toss, scored 189 runs for the loss of only two wickets in their allotted 20 overs, in which the hosts could only score 140 for nine.
Openers Bauma and Hendricks got South Africa off to a good start. The duo gave a huge partnership of 127 runs for the first wicket, which gave the team plenty of benefit in the end. Miller, who came to the crease after the dismissal of Hendrix, began playing immediately after the first two games of the series and led the team to a score of 189. Bawuma scored 72 off 51 balls with six fours and two sixes, Hendricks hit 69 off 48 balls with seven fours and a six, and Miller hit 36 off 17 balls with four fours and a six.

The South African bowlers took control of Ireland’s batsmen after the batting was damaged. Bowlers bowled well and economically. George Linde, Lallie Williams and Wyn Mulder each took two wickets and Andile Fehlukwao took one wicket. Ireland, on the other hand, failed to bowl and bat. If the bowlers proved costly, the batting fell like a pack of cards.
