Bangladesh has a chance of creating history at Centurion! Their bowlers have done an incredible job of restricting the Proteas to 154 and it is now onto their batters to show some composure and take Bangladesh to a famous victory. Do join us for their reply which begins shortly.
Bangladesh would be over the moon right now! They pulled things back in their favor after leaking runs at the start and it was Mehidy Hasan who got them the breakthrough. Although, it was Taskin Ahmed who stole the show as he kept the batters on their toes and picked wickets in a cluster for his side. This is the second 5-wicket haul for Taskin Ahmed in ODIs. The previous time he took a Michelle, it was in 2014 against India in Dhaka, but his team stumbled to 58 all out, chasing a 'meager' t
South Africa got off to a good start and it was Janneman Malan who was the aggressor for them. Quinton de Kock perished while trying to up the ante and after that nothing went the Proteas' way. Wickets kept tumbling for them and they completely lost the plot. Miller and Dwaine Pretorius showed some resistance but they too got out after getting a start. If not for Keshav Maharaj, South Africa would have failed to cross even the 130-run mark. He finished as their second-highest run-scorer and
The man of the moment, Taskin Ahmed is up for a quick chat. He says he is very happy. Adds, he just stuck to his process and indicates there was some extra bounce which helped him. Tells that he has been believing in the process for many years and that is the key to his success.
What a splendid bowling performance this has been from Bangladesh! They have been absolutely brilliant with the ball and South Africa have now recorded their lowest-ever ODI total against Bangladesh. At one point, the Proteas were cruising along as the openers stitched together a good partnership of 46 runs. However, they lost 10 wickets for just 108 runs and it is the tourists who have dominated the proceedings and history beckons for them.

... Match Day ...
After Bangladeshâs historic first ODI win, the Proteas came back strong on a difficult pitch, thanks to Rabadaâs brilliance and de Kockâs quick heroics which helped them to level the series. A series win could mean another golden feather in the cap of Bangladeshâs cricketing voyage. The mix of experience and youth has done a superb job for Bangladesh and you can see the depth in their batting and also the improvement in their bowling. All in all, it is a very important match for both
Hello and a warm welcome to the third and final ODI of the series between South Africa and Bangladesh. It is time for the decider and Bangladesh have a chance to create history to win the series for the first time on South African soil, while the hosts have never lost to the Bangla Tigers, so they will look to keep the procession intact. It is a do-or-die match as the team which wins will take the series home, the ODI series to be precise. Let's hope for a cracking contest here at SuperSport P
Bangladesh has a chance of creating history at Centurion! Their bowlers have done an incredible job of restricting the Proteas to 154 and it is now onto their batters to show some composure and take Bangladesh to a famous victory. Do join us for their reply which begins shortly.
Bangladesh would be over the moon right now! They pulled things back in their favor after leaking runs at the start and it was Mehidy Hasan who got them the breakthrough. Although, it was Taskin Ahmed who stole the show as he kept the batters on their toes and picked wickets in a cluster for his side. This is the second 5-wicket haul for Taskin Ahmed in ODIs. The previous time he took a Michelle, it was in 2014 against India in Dhaka, but his team stumbled to 58 all out, chasing a 'meager' t
South Africa got off to a good start and it was Janneman Malan who was the aggressor for them. Quinton de Kock perished while trying to up the ante and after that nothing went the Proteas' way. Wickets kept tumbling for them and they completely lost the plot. Miller and Dwaine Pretorius showed some resistance but they too got out after getting a start. If not for Keshav Maharaj, South Africa would have failed to cross even the 130-run mark. He finished as their second-highest run-scorer and
The man of the moment, Taskin Ahmed is up for a quick chat. He says he is very happy. Adds, he just stuck to his process and indicates there was some extra bounce which helped him. Tells that he has been believing in the process for many years and that is the key to his success.
What a splendid bowling performance this has been from Bangladesh! They have been absolutely brilliant with the ball and South Africa have now recorded their lowest-ever ODI total against Bangladesh. At one point, the Proteas were cruising along as the openers stitched together a good partnership of 46 runs. However, they lost 10 wickets for just 108 runs and it is the tourists who have dominated the proceedings and history beckons for them.
