Records fall as South Africa clinch Ireland series in style

Gqeberha, Dec 17 (UNI) South Africa and Ireland each broke scoring records as the Proteas clinched their three-game ODI series at home with an impressive 74-run triumph here.
The Proteas posted their highest total in women's 50-over cricket and 13th best of all time when compiling 375/6 and that proved too much for Ireland to chase down despite the European side breaking through the 300-run barrier for the fifth time in their history on Tuesday.
According to the International Cricket Council (ICC), South Africa skipper Laura Wolvaardt paced the hosts with a superb innings of 124 at the top of the order, while in-form all-rounder Sune Luus (114) and former captain Dane van Niekerk (88) also joined in the run feast for the runners up from the recent ICC Women's Cricket World Cup.
