Proteas opener Reeza Hendricks says he's relishing the English conditions after yet another dazzling Twenty20 fifty helped South Africa defeat Ireland by 21 runs in their series opener in Bristol on Wednesday evening.
Hendricks, who hit three half-centuries in the Proteas' recent 2-1 series win over England, top-scored with 74 in a total of 211-5 and shared a third-wicket partnership of 112 with Aiden Markram (56). Lorcan Tucker (78) and George Dockrell (43) kept Ireland in the hunt but when the pair were dismissed off consecutive balls their side's hopes of victory went with them.
