SA vs BAN Highlights: South Africa registered their 4th consecutive win after they defeated Bangladesh by 149 runs at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai on Tuesday. Batting first, the Proteas posted a mammoth 382 runs onboard, courtesy of Quinton de Kock’s record breaking innings. He got a good support from Heinrich Klaasen who scored 90 runs off 49 balls.
In reply, Bangladesh never looked in hunt for the chase and were 81/6 at one point. However, Mahmudullah’s brilliant century ensured that Bangladesh go past 220-run mark. Gerald Coetzee was the pick of the bowlers with three wickets.
Teams:
Bangladesh (Playing XI): Tanzid Hasan, Litton Das, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Shakib Al Hasan(c), Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Mushfiqur Rahim(w), Mahmudullah, Nasum Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, Shoriful Islam, Hasan Mahmud
South Africa (Playing XI): Quinton de Kock(w), Reeza Hendricks, Rassie van der Dussen, Aiden Markram(c), Heinrich Klaasen, David Miller, Marco Jansen, Gerald Coetzee, Keshav Maharaj, Kagiso Rabada, Lizaad Williams
The South African team faced a setback with a surprising loss to the Netherlands after two consecutive wins. However, they made a strong comeback in their previous match, thanks to remarkable performances by their batters, with three half-centuries and a century, setting a challenging target of 400 runs against the defending ODI World Champions, England. Moreover, South Africa’s bowling unit complemented this effort by dismantling England, securing a convincing 229-run victory in just 22 overs.
On the other hand, Bangladesh enters the match after a string of three consecutive defeats to England, New Zealand, and India. Although they started their campaign with a win against Afghanistan, the Tigers have faced difficulties in maintaining their momentum towards a spot in the semifinals. However, a positive news for Bangladesh is the return of Shakib al Hasan to their lineup. A win against South Africa in this upcoming match could potentially revive their hopes of securing a spot in the top four.
