India won the Future Cup series at Ireland against South Africa 2-1, defeating the proteas by six wickets in the third and Final encounter last night.
Yuvraj Singh scored brilliant 61 with the Man of the Match and Rahul(36) and Dhoni(14) supported him well. The bowlers did excellent job restricting the South Africans to 148 for 7 in 31 Overs (Match shortened due to Rain). Ajit Agarkar and Sourav took two wickets each. Justin Kemp was highest scorer (61) for SA.
Sachin was undisputed Man of the Series with two Nineties in the series, but he preferred to share the award with Yuvraj, who remained unbeaten in last two innings with match winning roles
This series will be a tremendous morale booster for a team being criticized highly for their poor show in World Cup and playing without a Coach.
