Even if South Africa has won the ODI series. But before that, Ireland has created history. They have defeated South Africa by 69 runs in the third and last ODI of the series. This is the second time in ODI history that Ireland has defeated South Africa. With this success, the Irish team has dashed South Africa's hopes of a clean sweep in back to back series. Earlier in the 2nd T20 series also, Ireland had held South Africa to a 1-1 draw.

South Africa, who dropped 2 catches, scored 60 runs.

The main reason for South Africa's defeat in the last match of the ODI series was his dropping of catches. In fact, it was the Irish batsman with whom he took not one but two catches that created trouble for him. South Africa had dropped both the catches of Harry Tector, taking advantage of which he played a quick inning of 60 runs in just 48 balls.

Harry Tector and Paul Sterling scored runs for Ireland

Thanks to Harry Tector's 12th half-century in his ODI career in the middle order, Ireland, playing first, scored 284 runs for 9 wickets in 50 overs. However, it would be wrong not to talk about the contribution of captain Paul Stirling in the top order. Paul Sterling came into the opening and played a big innings of 88 runs in 92 balls. While playing this innings, Sterling made a century for the first wicket and also made a partnership of 58 runs with Campher for the second wicket. Lizard Williams was the most successful bowler for South Africa, taking 4 wickets.

Forget hitting the target, South Africa could not even play 50 overs.

Now South Africa had the target of scoring 285 runs in 50 overs. But, leave alone achieving this target, he could not even play the full 50 overs. The only positive thing in South Africa's batting was Jason Smith's innings of 91 runs. The shock 3-3 wickets of Graham Hume and Craig Young took South Africa 69 runs away from the target. The entire team was all out after scoring 215 runs in 46.1 overs.

However, despite losing the third ODI, South Africa won the 3-match ODI series 2-1.
