Ireland v South Africa: Adair hits century to seal first T20 win over Proteas
Ross Adair hit a century as Ireland recorded their first T20 international win over South Africa at the seventh attempt.
Having suffered an eight-wicket defeat on Friday, Ireland responded well to win by 10 runs at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi and draw the two-match series.
Adair top-scored with the bat for Ireland with his maiden 100 in T20 cricket as his team made 195 from their 20 overs.
South Africa fell just short of the competitive total, ending on 185, with Ross’ brother Mark Adair claiming four wickets.
A three-match one-day international series between the two sides will start on Wednesday.
The young South African squad, and Ireland, are starting a new cycle leading into the 2026 T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka.
South Africa, who reached the T20 World Cup final in June, came into the matches against Ireland on the back of an ODI series defeat by Afghanistan in Sharjah.
