South Africa defeated Bangladesh by 4 runs after restricting them to 109 while defending a target of 114.

Opting to bat first, the Proteas’ top and middle order were dismantled like a house of cards within the first five overs. Tanzim Hasan Sakib (3/18) upset the South African dressing room as he uprooted three crucial wickets, along with Taskin Ahmed (2/19), who picked SA skipper Aiden Markram’s wicket. It was only Heinrich Klaasen and David Miller who partnered for 79 runs to push their team towards a decent total of 113 runs. Among the Bangladeshi bowlers, it was also Rishad Hossain who scalped one wicket in his four overs but proved to be costly as he leaked 32 runs.

In response, Bangladesh also had a dismal showing of batting power. Bangladesh was 37/3 in the first eight overs, with Towhid Hridoy and Mahmudullah Riyad holding the sail steady and inching closer to the chase. South Africa’s pace attack was particularly impressive, with Kagiso Rabada (2/19) and Anrich Nortje (2/17) picking up two wickets each. Their relentless pressure restricted Bangladesh’s scoring rate and made it difficult for them to build momentum.

Keshav Maharaj (3/27) delivered the final blow in the last over, dismissing both Jaker Ali and the crucial wicket of Mahmudullah Riyad. This effectively ended Bangladesh’s hopes of victory, handing South Africa a narrow four-run win.
