Ireland beaten by South Africa
South Africa have beaten Ireland by seven wickets in their Super Eight match at the Cricket World Cup.
The Proteas' all-rounder Jacques Kallis scored his 61st one-day international half-century as he made 66 not out in a game reduced to 35 overs per team by three rain interruptions.
Ireland made 152 for eight and South Africa's victory target was adjusted to 160 by the Duckworth-Lewis method.
Graeme Smith's team made the required total with 21 balls to spare, and for the loss of just three wickets.
Kallis and Smith shared a second-wicket partnership of 70 at a rate of six runs per over, reaching their joint-50 from just 48 balls.
But Ireland captain Trent Johnston claimed some personal success when he caught Smith for 41.
