Ireland vs South Africa
Super 8, Match 8, SA vs IRL: South Africa sweeps Ireland aside
Apr 03, 2007
South Africa swept aside Ireland in a cricket World Cup Super 8s match on Tuesday, passing the underdog's rain-affected target of 160 with seven wickets and 21 balls to spare. The victory keeps South Africa on track for a place in the semifinals but leaves tournament outsiders Ireland with, as expected, two Super 8 defeats and virtually no prospect of going any further. Ireland, however, has been thrilled to reach the last eight for the first time.

Super 8, Match 8, SA vs IRL: South Africa keen to bag two points from Ireland match
Apr 03, 2007
Worlds top-ranked side, South Africa, are keen to avoid upset against debutants Ireland in Tuesdays Super 8 match in Guyana as the team is determined not to lose focus against a lesser side in world cricket.
Following Ireland, the Proteas play Bangladesh on Saturday and coach Mickey Arthur is determined to secure maximum points. When you plan for the rest of the Cup these are both banker games but with that comes added pressure, he said. If things go well wed also hope to work a bit on run-rate, but first prize is to leave Guyana with six points, the coach asserted. After being comprehensively beaten by 83 runs against Australia in their final first round match, South Africa then suffered a scare against Sri Lanka. Paceman Lasith Malinga, who captured a world record four wickets in four balls, almost snatched a win for the Lankans but the South African tail held on to scrape home by one wicket.
Ireland almost caused a major upset in a warm-up match against the South Africans shortly before the tournament began. Irelands seam duo Trent Johnston and Dave Langford-Smith helped reduce their illustrious opponents to 91-8 but they were eventually beaten by 35 runs after being bowled out for 157. Skipper Johnston insisted his team would not be in awe of any opponents. We need to lift our performance by at least 25% in the remaining matches, Johnston insisted on the eve of the match. South Africa team (from): G Smith (Captain), J Kallis, L Bosman, M Boucher, AB de Villiers, H Gibbs, A Hall, J Kemp, C Langeveldt, A Nel, M Ntini, R Peterson, S Pollock, A Prince, R Telemachus.
