Ireland has almost caused a huge upset over South Africa in their warm up match. The Proteas set the Irishmen a modest total of 193 for victory and Ireland appeared to have the win in the bag at 4/139 with 14 overs to spare, before they suffered a massive collapse to be all out for 157.
The South African innings could have been a lot worse after being just 8/91 half way through their 50 overs. The innings was salvaged by a ninth wicket partnership of 85 between Andrew Hall and Robin Peterson.
SA has to take all there matches more seriously. It doesnt mean that your number one in the world you can start taking every team lightly. So boys you better catch a wake up or you'll be coming home in the first round!!!
