Darren Stewart/Gallo Images Proteas skipper Temba Bavuma admitted they were outplayed after an embarrassing 43-run loss against Ireland in the second ODI on Tuesday. The South Africans now stare a series defeat in the face ahead of Friday's third and final encounter, after the first ODI was abandoned due to rain. Bavuma elected to field first with the Proteas bowling attack struggling to break partnerships as Irish skipper Andy Balbirnie scored his seventh ODI century. Balbirnie led from the front, top-scoring with 102 off 117 deliveries, while Harry Tector also contributed 79 to push Ireland to a demanding total of 290 for 5. The Proteas' bowling performance was average, but their fielding was horrific as the visitors dropped four vital catches that could've shortened Ireland's onslaught.
