Laura Woolvaardt's South Africa clinched the 3-match T20I series against Ireland by 2-0, after the concluder was washed out completely at the Willowmoore Park Stadium in Benoni.
The Proteas had showcased their domination across the previous two T20Is, and were on course to another comfortable victory and complete a 3-0 whitewash today, but the match never started.
The South African team have been on fire since the start of the series, registering big margin wins to claim an unassailable 2-0 lead heading into the 3rd T20I today.
It was South Africa's first competitive appearance since losing the ICC Women's World Cup 2025 last month.
They won the first T20I against Ireland by 105 runs as the visitors were folded for just 115 in response to a mammoth 220 in Capetown, where Laura Woolvaardt starred with her 115 off just 56 balls.
In the 2nd T20I, the Proteas registered another 200-run total through some fine knocks from Faye Tunnicliffe (51 off 42), Sune Luus (37 off 24), Van Niekerk (41 off 19) and Marizanne Kapp, Chloe Tryon's quickfire 16 runs.
This time, the Irish team were restricted to 136/3 as they went down fighting as Orla Prendergast's half-century did not prove enough.
