IRELAND skipper William Porterfield was left with mixed feelings after his side’s exit from the World Cup was confirmed with a 131-run defeat to South Africa yesterday.

JP Duminy's valiant 99 helped South Africa battle through a top-half batting failure against Ireland's disciplined bowling to reach 272 for seven in their World Cup Group B game at Kolkata today.

IRELAND captain William Porterfield has been reprimanded by the International Cricket Council (ICC) after publicly criticising umpire Asoka de Silva’s handling of a video review during his side’s 44-run defeat against the West Indies.

Ireland captain William Porterfield hopes the grand surroundings of Kolkata’s Eden Gardens can inspire his side to another famous World Cup victory against South Africa tomorrow.
