Stubbs hit 112 runs not out - his first international ton in any format.
Middle-order batter Tristan Stubbs made an international breakthrough on Friday, compiling his maiden century as the Proteas men’s team closed out a superb day for South Africa’s national cricket sides.
Set a hefty target of 344 runs to win, Ireland fell well short as their batting line-up crumbled against a Proteas attack led by seam bowlers Lizaad Williams and Lungi Ngidi , as well as spinner Bjorn Fortuin . The Irish side were strangled from the start, and though their stubborn tail wagged longer than the Proteas would have liked, they were ultimately dismissed for 169 in the 31st over.Despite being frustrated by giving away 52 runs for the last wicket, and struggling to strike at the death, the Proteas attack combined well, with all six bowlers taking at least one wicket each.
Rassie van der Dussen added 35 runs, while Kyle Verreynne made 67 and Wiaan Mulder smashed 43, but it was Stubbs who stole the show.
