Andrew Balbirnie scored a gutsy half-century and Kevin O’Brien gave him good support as Ireland recovered from 48 for five to 125 for five at the end of 25 overs against South Africa in the 24th match of ICC Cricket World Cup 2015. The 81-run partnership was broken as Morne Morkel got rid of Balbirnie in the 26 over. He and O’Brine were looking quite comfortable at the wicket. Live Updates: South Africa vs Ireland
Earlier South Africa won the toss and decide to bat first on a wicket what looked like bit slow and dry. But twin centuries by Hashim Amla and Faf du Plessis propelled the Protease to post the highest score of this tournament so far, 411 for five in their allotted 50 overs in the Pool B game against Ireland at Canberra. At one point of time 450 was looking very much on the cards, but somehow the Irish bowlers avoided that. This is South Africa’s back back to 400 plus scores and in this edition of ICC Cricket World Cup 2015. Live Scorecard: South Africa vs Ireland
