South Africa virtually steam rolled Ireland winning by a massive 201 runs margin. Below are the highlights from the match. 

South African innings:

1st over - Seamer John Mooney opens the contest with a maiden to Hashim Amla. SA: 0-0

50th over - Rossouw (61 not out) and David Miller (46 not out) belt 24 off the last over to bring up their 100 partnership in quick time as South Africa finish just two runs short of the highest score by a team at a World Cup. SA: 411-4.

Ireland innings

1st over - Ireland skipper William Porterfield hits a four off Dale Steyn's first over. IRE: 5-0
