The first game was won comprehensively by the Proteas, who chased down a 172-run target in 17.4 overs, with eight wickets to spare. Half-centuries from openers Ryan Rickelton and Reeza Hendricks set the stage for a dominant victory for Aiden Markram's side.
With that, South Africa completed the highest successful chase in Abu Dhabi and kept their unbeaten record against Ireland intact. Since this is a two-match T20I series, the second game assumes importance for the Irish side, who must win it to level the series 1-1.
The T20I leg will be followed by a three-match ODI series, starting on October 2 in Abu Dhabi. The white-ball tour was supposed to be hosted by Ireland, but is being held in the United Arab Emirates instead due to what the Ireland board's chief executive Warren Deutrom called "infrastructure constraints". Ireland do not have a permanent home stadium and have to pay rent and bring in temporary facilities each time they play at home.

The second T20I between Ireland and South Africa will be played at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi, UAE from 9pm IST onwards.
