Bavuma: "On the game as a whole, probably a better showing from us compared to the previous game. We were able to level the series that's a positive but the last 10-15 overs of our bowling overs wasn't the way we wanted to finish. Quinny and Janneman leading the way - those are the type of performances we are looking for from the batting unit. We hope that's just the start of good things to come as far as the batting is concerned. All in all from a bowling effort it was a good showing, guys like Andile taking wickets at crucial times - that helped."

Malan: "It feels better to get runs in a winning cause. We had some plans, luckily got a couple of good net sessions, sat down with our analyst. Doesn't get better than that batting with Quinton de Kock. We will see [on whether he is looking at a Test spot] - I hope to continue scoring runs."

Janneman Malan is the Man of the Series.

Balbirnie: "If you had been asked we would've taken it before the series [on the series result]. They got a pretty formidable total and Quinton de Kock showed his class. We lost quick wickets but the way Simi Singh pulled it back was nice to see. It is always good to be contributing when you are winning games. Couldn't do it today. Great week for Harry Tector, Curtis coming back from injury and Josh Little as well. We are proud of what we have done this week against a strong South African side. It's been a real pleasure to play in front of a a pleasing crowd."

18:26 Local Time, 17:26 GMT, 22:56 IST: South Africa win comprehensively in the end. They should've finished this long back when they had Ireland at 90/6 but dour resistance and plucky batting from Curtis Campher and Simi Singh who got his maiden ODI ton delayed the inevitable. Once the top-order failed, it was always going to be a massive ask. Maharaj who opened the bowling made the early inroads by dismissing the dangermen - Stirling and Balbirnie. From then on it was Ireland playing catch-up but full marks to Simi Singh for his hundred. Took full toll of the spinners and got support from his partners to reach a ton. At the end his landmark was the only point of interest as the game meandered along. South Africa by virtue of the win save face and level the series. Also they grab vital Super League points on the way. Stay tuned for the presentation...

Nortje to Young, out Caught by Bavuma!! That's the game. Makes room and tries to flat-bat it, but the ball hurries onto him, goes straight up in the air and gobbled by Bavuma at mid-off. SA level the series 1-1. Young c Bavuma b Nortje 8(14)

Nortje to Young, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

Williams to Simi Singh, 2 runs, maiden ODI ton for Simi Singh. He deserves this. Has played outstandingly against both pace and spin. Richly-deserved and gets the applause as he soaks it all in. On a sunny day in Dublin. Off goes the helmet and he looks at the heavens. Reached his 100 with a crisp drive wide of long-off. Young had to run hard and did so, makes it before the throw comes

Williams to Simi Singh, 2 runs, will this be 2? Yes it is. Heaved off the thick inside half, down to deep mid, is placed right in between the two men and now onto 98

Williams to Simi Singh, FOUR, just a hit away now. Terrible bowling though. Backward point and third man inside and Williams bowls well outside off, full, Simi Singh swings and the thick edge carries over the fielders

Williams to Young, 1 run, full on off, Young drops it wide of backward point and gives the strike back to Simi Singh

Williams to Young, wide, dug in short and well down leg, Young lets it go and third wide in a row

Williams to Young, wide, a wide for height. Over the bat and the head of Young who pulls and misses

Williams to Young, wide, Williams misses the yorker, slips it down leg

Williams to Young, no run, yorker length outside off, Young drives and misses. Wasn't far from off that one

Williams to Simi Singh, 1 run, low full-toss outside off, Simi Singh swings to deep mid, wants two but Maharaj fires in a throw to de Kock

Lizaad Williams [7.0-0-49-1] is back into the attack

Nortje to Simi Singh, 1 run, length delivery on the stumps, nudged towards mid-wicket for a single that will keep Simi Singh on strike

Nortje to Young, 1 run, mistimes the pull, the ball lands in no-man's land at mid-on. Hurried on the pull
