Tabraiz Shamsi produced a performance worthy of his number one ranking in the T20I rankings, when he took four wickets for 27 runs to help South Africa to a 33-run victory over Ireland in the first T20I here at Malahide on Monday.

The visitors have now gone 1-0 up in the three-match series. The hosts had no answers for Shamsi and George Linde's (2/26) spinning charms as the pair claimed six wickets between them on the road to victory.
