South Africa defeat sees Ireland exit Cricket World Cup

Ireland's exit from the World Cup was confirmed today after a below-par batting display saw them go down by 131 runs to South Africa in Kolkata.

After winning the toss, Ireland's disciplined effort in the field - that saw South Africa on 117 for five at one stage - was first undone by JP Duminy, who blazed his way to 99 off 103 balls to lead his side to 272.
