Durban \u2014 South Africa have booked their place in the quarterfinals at the ICC Cricket World Cup after securing a comfortable 131-run win against Ireland.<\/p>\n

Ireland, consistently losing wickets throughout their innings were bowled out for 141 in 33.1 overs, after South Africa posted a testing total of 272\/7 at Eden Gardens.<\/p>\n

South Africa were sent in to bat first by the Irish, a decision which seemed justified when the Proteas found themselves at 117\/5 after the Irish bowled and fielded smartly.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The South African top order were dismal on Tuesday with skipper Graeme Smith being run out for less than ten runs and Hashim Alma making a quick exit from the crease in the fourth over.<\/p>\n

But the middle order came to South Africa’s rescue with Morne Van Wyk steadying the innings with his 42.<\/p>\n

JP Duminy was unlucky to be dismissed on 99, but nevertheless played a crucial role in South Africa’s win and was rewarded with the man of the match award.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Morne Morkel shook up the Irish batting line up earlier on by dismissing William Porterfield and Paul Stirling in the opening four overs.<\/p>\n

Morkel ended with a notable three for 33 in 5.2 overs.<\/p>\n

Robin Peterson gave yet another superb performance, taking three wickets in eight overs. He captured Gary Wilson and Kevin O’Brien’s wickets.<\/p>\n

Wilson (31) and O’Brien (19) were the only two Irish batsmen to post decent scores.<\/p>\n

South Africa are currently on top of Group B with eight points from five matches, followed by India and the West Indies.<\/p>\n

South Africa will play Bangladesh in their final group B game.<\/p>\n
