    South Africa looking for Clean Sweep against Ireland South Africa looking for Clean Sweep against Ireland

    South Africa, led by Keshav Maharaj, leads the series 1-0 after winning the first game by 21 runs while defending 211 runs.

    It was another case of Ireland performing well but falling short this summer after previously running India and New Zealand exceptionally close. Only two batters, Lorcan Tucker (78) and George Dockrell (43) crossed the 20-run mark while chasing 212 runs. Due to a lack of support from other batters, Ireland managed 190 runs in 20 overs, which was still a fantastic effort.

    On the other hand, South Africa continued their good run on the UK tour, with Reeza Hendricks (74) and Aiden Markram's quick-fire 56 propelling them to a formidable total of 211 runs in 20 overs.

    Tabraiz Shamsi continued his excellent form with the ball, while Keshav Maharaj finished his four-over spell conceding only 29 runs (2 wickets).
