爱尔兰队以 169 分出局，系列赛 2-0 落后

南非队选择在下午三点左右的气温下在反应迟钝的球场上击球，队长的表情和肩膀的下垂说明了一切

South Africa opted to bat first on an unresponsive pitch in mid-afternoon temperatures in Abu Dhabi hovering around 40 degrees Celsius, a decision that left skipper Andy Balbirnie with a resigned look and slump of the shoulders.

南非队选择在阿布扎比午后气温徘徊在 40 摄氏度左右、反应迟钝的球场上率先击球，这一决定让队长安迪·巴尔比尔尼 (Andy Balbirnie) 表情无奈，肩膀垂了下来。

Leg-spinner Gavin Hoey claimed his first international wicket when Rassie van der Dussen pulled a short ball on to his own boot and it dribbled back to dislodge the bails, while Andy McBrine took 1-43 from a tidy set of 10 overs.

当拉西·范德·杜森（Rassie van der Dussen）将一个短球拉到自己的靴子上并运球回来将球门移开时，旋转腿的加文·霍伊（Gavin Hoey）赢得了他的第一个国际三柱门，而安迪·麦克布莱恩（Andy McBrine）在整齐划一的 10 轮比赛中以 1-43 获胜。

The seamers, used in short spells, somehow kept going, but even the usually effervescent Mark Adair looked flat and defeated as Tristan Stubbs finished on 112 not out from 81 balls in a mammoth total for these parts of 343-4.

短时间使用的缝合器不知何故继续前进，但即使是通常热情洋溢的马克·阿代尔也显得平淡而失败，因为特里斯坦·斯塔布斯完成了 112 个球而不是 81 个球，在这部分的 343 胜 4 负的总比分中。

A quick shower and change of kit and veteran openers Stirling and Balbirnie were on their way back to the middle to face a fresh attack with the ball nipping around under the early evening lights. Both were gone within 2.2 overs.

快速淋浴和更换球衣，经验丰富的揭幕战球员斯特林和巴尔伯尼正在回到中路，面对新的进攻，球在傍晚的灯光下掠过。两人都在 2.2 回合之内被淘汰。

Harry Tector reached 20 for the first time in 12 innings but went no farther, while Adair, Hoey, Graham Hume and Craig Young all cleared the ropes before the end came in the 31st over when Ireland were bowled out for 169 to go 2-0 down in the series.

哈里·特克特 (Harry Tector) 在 12 局中首次打到 20 局，但没有再进一步，而阿代尔 (Adair)、霍伊 (Hoey)、格雷厄姆·休姆 (Graham Hume) 和克雷格·杨 (Craig Young) 都在第 31 局比赛结束前清空了绳索，爱尔兰队以 169 分出局，以 2-0 领先在系列中。

Would the result have been different if the Boys in Green had batted first? Possibly not, as this is a young and hungry South African team. But it would have been closer, a lot closer.

如果绿衣男孩先击球，结果会有所不同吗？可能不会，因为这是一支年轻而饥饿的南非球队。但它会更接近，更接近。

Stirling can only hope his luck changes when the coin goes up before the dead rubber on Monday.

斯特林只能希望当周一硬币在死胶之前上涨时他的运气会改变。
