South ******* hammer Ireland by 139 runs in one-dayer

Ryan Rickelton and Tristan Stubbs have scored career-best half-centuries to dig South ******* out of trouble with the bat and help their side to a 139-run victory over Ireland in the first of three one-day internationals in Abu Dhabi.

After electing to bat, South ******* slipped to 3-39 before left-hander Rickelton scored 91 from 102 ****** and Stubbs 79 from 86 to rescue the innings with a fourth-wicket stand of 152 as they posted 9-271.

Mark Adair took 4-50 and Craig Young 3-45 as Ireland bowled well on a seaming wicket until Rickelton and Stubbs put the pressure back on the bowlers.

South *******’s pace ******* then took advantage of the conditions and never let Ireland build momentum in their innings, taking wickets at regular intervals as they reduced their opponents to 5-61, eventually bowling them out for 132.

George Dockrell top-scored in the innings with 21, and seamer Lizaad Williams took a career-best 4-32.

South ******* have rested several regulars for the series. The next match will be at the same venue on Friday, with the final match on Monday.
