 "Ireland vs South Africa: Andy Balbirnie, William Porterfield score fifties before rain plays spoilsport in 1st ODI")
Dublin: Rain led to the first one-day international between Ireland and South Africa at Malahide on Sunday being abandoned. After a delayed start, the hosts were put into to bat and made 195 for two in 40.2 overs, with Andy Balbirnie and William Porterfield scoring 65 and 63 respectively.
No result, but still plenty to be proud of in a strong batting performance 💪#IREvSA #BackingGreen ☘️🏏 @gs_ireland pic.twitter.com/3IKAxw7Dq2
