Ireland were expected to put up a fight against the Proteas and they did meet the expectations for some time with the ball.
Duminy came in and arrested the slide and took South Africa to safety. Ireland never really recovered after the early strikes by Morne Morkel.
To their credit the South Africans never gave them any breathing space and kept it very tight throughout with their bowling as the minnows were all out for only 141 in 33.2 overs.
