Jean Paul Duminy scored an aggressive innings of 99 runs, but was unlucky that he could not complete his story. However, he did help South Africa pile up 272 runs for the loss of seven wickets in their allotted 50 overs during their Group-B match against
Ireland in the ICC World Cup 2011 at the Eden Gardens Stadium in Kolkata, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750.
Irish captain William Porterfield won the toss and put South Africa in to bat hoping to restrict the Proteas within a reachable score. The decision paid off as they got the prize wicket of ace batsman Hashim Amla at just 18 runs when the total was a mere
24 runs. Captain Graeme Smith was joined in by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Morne-van-Wyk-c2025. Both the players took the score to 52 runs before Smith was smartly run out by a sharp and direct throw from John Mooney.
Jacques Kallis came to the crease and the partnership creped to 84 runs before Van Wyk who was dropped twice earlier had to leave at 42 runs. Jean–Paul Duminy replaced Wyk, but after the addition of just 11 more runs on board, Kallis departed at his score
of 19 runs.
A solid partnership was witnessed from Colin Ingram and Duminy, Ingram was playing his first World Cup encounter. Both the batsmen played aggressive cricket, especially Ingram, who was in a particularly attacking mood, he was bowled out at 46 runs with 204
on the scoreboard in 40 overs.
Duminy took over from there and played an aggressive innings of 99 runs in 103 balls that involved a six and 6 fours. He was forced off the field when Kevin O’Brien caught an brilliant skyer catch. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757 reached a compatible score of 272 runs for
the loss of seven wickets.

South Africa require a victory in this match which will lead them to the quarterfinals or they will have to wait for their fortunes in the next pool match against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bangladesh-c747 on 19th March in Mirpur. They have a very aggressive bowling attack which can defend
their total, but they must keep an eye on the dangerous Irish team which overtook the strong English team and chased a mighty total of 327 runs on 2nd March in Bangalore.
The Irish team will anticipate a victory in the match which will keep their chances alive in the tournament.
