| 0.6 : 0.6: Taskin Ahmed to Temba Bavuma, OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Yet again, Taskin Ahmed strikes in the very first over. Ends the first over brilliantly and this is the ideal start for Bangladesh. Taskin is delighted and so is the crowd here. It is another low score for the South African skipper. This is a beauty of a delivery. An effort ball. It is on a length and around off, this lands and moves away. Bavuma has a poke at it, it goes off the outside edge and it is taken by the keeper. |
| 1.4 : 1.4: Mehidy Hasan to Quinton de Kock, FOUR! Squeezed out and it races away to the fence. First boundary of the game and that should release a little bit of pressure that was building. This is on off, Quinton de Kock hits it past cover and this races away to the fence. |
| 2.3 : 2.3: Taskin Ahmed to Rilee Rossouw, FOUR! That has been hammered to the fence! Shorter and on middle, Rilee Rossouw powers it through mid-wicket for his first boundary. |
| 2.5 : 2.5: Taskin Ahmed to Quinton de Kock, NO BALL AND FOUR! That is so nicely played! So easily done. This is on middle, Quinton de Kock moves across and just helps it on its way over the short fine leg fielder. Also, Taskin Ahmed has stepped over the line. Free Hit coming up. |
| 2.5: Taskin Ahmed to Quinton de Kock, SIX! BANG! Stand and deliver stuff! That is right in the range for de Kock! On middle, he heaves it over the mid-wicket fence for a biggie. Takes full toll of the Free Hit. |
| 2.6 : 2.6: Taskin Ahmed to Quinton de Kock, FOUR! That has been creamed! Lovely shot! Fuller and on middle, Quinton de Kock works it through mid-wicket and the ball races away. That is a huge over for South Africa and the momentum has now shifted towards them. |
| 3.3 : 3.3: Hasan Mahmud to Rilee Rossouw, FOUR! Not a good effort in the field! Taskin Ahmed has had a poor 10 minutes or so. Shorter and on the body, this is pulled behind square on the leg side. He runs to his right but dives over the ball. |
| 3.2 : 3.2: Hasan Mahmud to Rilee Rossouw, SIX! That has been powered! A very strong shot. Length and on middle, this is thumped down the ground and well over the lonng on fence for a biggie. |
| 4.2: Mehidy Hasan to Rilee Rossouw, SIX! That goes just over the fence! Yet again powerfully hit. Rilee Rossouw brings out the sweep shot. This flies over the mid-wicket fielder. He ran in at first but don't think he would have had a chance. |
| 4.5 : 4.5: Mehidy Hasan to Rilee Rossouw, SIX! That is beautifully timed! It is raining boundaries here. Especially off the bat of Rilee Rossouw! He plays the sweep shot again, this is slower and on middle but he hits it really well and it goes over the square leg fence. |
| 7.1 : 7.1: Mehidy Hasan to Quinton de Kock, FOUR! That is really nicely played and Mehidy Hasan continues to give runs. He is way too full yet again, de Kock plays the reverse sweep, really nicely, rolls his wrists over the ball and hits it past short third man for a boundary. |
| 8.3 : 8.3: Mosaddek Hossain to Quinton de Kock, FOUR! The reverse sweep played again and played well again. On middle, Quinton de Kock manages to hit it over point and it races away to the fence. |
| 8.5 : 8.5: Mosaddek Hossain to Rilee Rossouw, SIX! Not sure he hit that well but did hit it wide of the fielder! Mosaddek Hossain proving expensive in his second over. Rilee Rossouw steps out and gets to the pitch of it. He hits it hard and down the ground, wide of the long on fielder. It just goes over the fence. |
| 10.4 : 10.4: Shakib Al Hasan to Rilee Rossouw, FOUR! That is clobbered. This is hit so hard! On middle, shortish, this is pulled hard through mid-wicket and this one races away to the fence. |
| 10.5 : 10.5: Shakib Al Hasan to Rilee Rossouw, SIX! Over the fence! Really not sure if this was the best move by Shakib to get himself on. On middle, fuller, Rilee slog sweeps it over the mid-wicket fence for a biggie. |
| 10.6 : 10.6: Shakib Al Hasan to Rilee Rossouw, NO BALL AND SIX! This is getting bad to worse for Shakib and his side! Rilee steps out and this is a high full toss, it is pulled well over the mid-wicket fence for a biggie. Free Hit coming up. |

| 11.6 : 11.6: Mustafizur Rahman to Rilee Rossouw, SIX! Into the crowd! Rilee Rossouw is playing a gem of a knock here! This is short and on middle, it is pulled well over the mid-wicket fence for a biggie. |
| 12.2 : 12.2: Hasan Mahmud to Quinton de Kock, SIX! BANG! That is over the fence! Raining sixes now. Fifty for de Kock. Another top knock from him! On middle, de Kock stays back and heaves it over the mid-wicket fence for a big one. |
| 12.5 : 12.5: Hasan Mahmud to Rilee Rossouw, FOUR! Muscled past the bowler yet again! This is on a length and around off, Rilee thumps it down the ground, wide of long off and into the boundary. |
| 13.1 : 13.1: Taskin Ahmed to Quinton de Kock, SIX MORE! This is slot bowling! This is full and on middle, right in the arc, Quinton de Kock swings and it sails over the mid-wicket fence. |
| 13.2 : 13.2: Taskin Ahmed to Rilee Rossouw, FOUR! Carved away! This is full and outside off, Rilee Rossouw carves it over the point fielder, this lands and just catches speed. Another boundary. |
| 13.3 : 13.3: Taskin Ahmed to Rilee Rossouw, FOUR! That has just bounced before the ropes! This is now the highest partnership for South Africa in a T20I game. Yet again, right in the slot, it is full and outside off, @Rilofts it over the mid off fielder and it lands just short of the ropes. |
| 13.5 : 13.5: Taskin Ahmed to Rilee Rossouw, FOUR! That is lovely batting! Did not look to hit it hard at all. Just lovely timing! Rilee Rossouw steps out, he makes it into a full toss and hits it over the mid off fielder and into the fence. |
| 14.2 : 14.2: Afif Hossain to Quinton de Kock, FOUR! In the gap! Another boundary for de Kock! On middle, Quinton de Kock plays the reverse sweep past the point and it goes into the fence. |
| 14.3 : 14.3: Afif Hossain to Quinton de Kock, OUT! TAKEN! Stop the press, Bangladesh manage to get a wicket. A little too late one feels as this pair has batted them out of the game. This is tossed up, nice and slow around off. Quinton de Kock looks to go downtown over long off but it is the longer part of the ground and the timing is not that right. He holes out to the fielder there. Sarkar makes no mistake. |
| 14.4 : 14.4: Afif Hossain to Tristan Stubbs, FOUR! Off the mark with a boundary! Lovely shot! On middle, Stubbs plays the reverse sweep and he plays it wonderfuly past short third man for a boundary. |
| 16.1 : 16.1: Shakib Al Hasan to Tristan Stubbs, OUT! Shakib comes on and strikes! Tristan Stubbs' stay is a short one. The slog sweep comes out. Shakib slows it up and hence, all the power needs to be generated by Stubbs. This goes off the top edge towards deep mid-wicket and it is taken by the fielder, Das. This is a decent passage of play for Bangladesh. |
| 16.6 : 16.6: Shakib Al Hasan to Rilee Rossouw, SIX! BANG! That sails over the fence! Smashes one out of the ground after immediately getting to his ton! On middle, this is heaved over the long on fence for a biggie. The last ball spoils the over. |
| 18.3 : 18.3: Shakib Al Hasan to Rilee Rossouw, OUT! TAKEN! That ends a supoerbv knock from Rilee Rossouw! A huge round of applause from everyone here as he walks back and rightly so. It is so well-deserved. He is the reason why his side is in this position. Coming to the ball now, this is beautifully bowled by Shakb. He sees Rilee step out and slows it up. Rilee is through his shot as he looks o go downtown, It goes off the top edge and it is taken in the cover region. |
| 19.3: Hasan Mahmud to Aiden Markram, FOUR! That has been hit with a lot of power. Top shot! Aiden Markram makes room. This is full and outside off, it is hit over the cover fielder, wide of the man in the deep and into the fence. South Africa would love a couple more to end. |
| 19.4 : 19.4: Hasan Mahmud to Aiden Markram, OUT! TAKEN! Markram's struggle comes to an end! A slower one, fuller and on middle, Markram looks to go downtown but does not connect that well. An easy catch for Soumya Sarkar! |
| 0.2 : 0.2: Kagiso Rabada to Najmul Hossain Shanto, FOUR! FIne shot! On a length and around off. Shanto hammers it over mid on, not off the middle but gets enough elevation to clear the fielder. First boundary and Bangladesh are off the mark. |
| 0.5 : 0.5: Kagiso Rabada to Soumya Sarkar, SIX! Just flick of the wrist! Fantastic start by Bangladesh! Sarkar is off the mark with a six. This is full and on the pads. Sarkar whips it over deep square leg for a biggie. |
| 0.6 : 0.6: Kagiso Rabada to Soumya Sarkar, SIX! Sarkar is not messing around! Already showing his intent! This is not good from Rabada! He is bowling in the slot as he looks for some swing. This is on the pads, it is flicked on the up and all the way over square leg for a six. |
| 2.1 : 2.1: Anrich Nortje to Soumya Sarkar, OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Change of bowling and Anrich Nortje takes the wicket straightaway! Much needed as Bangladesh were off to a flier! On a length and outside off, angling across at 147 kph. Sarkar looks to drive it hard but gets a faint outside edge to Quinton de Kock who pouches it. Soumya Sarkar thinks to review but ends up taking the long walk back to the hut. |
| 2.4 : 2.4: Anrich Nortje to Najmul Hossain Shanto, OUT! TIMBER! Both the openers are gone! This is quick, pacy stuff from Nortje! On a length and on middle at 147 clicks. Shanto has a wild swing across the line but misses and the ball hits the stumps. Anrich Nortje has a big smile on his face. South Africa are enjoying while two wickets now and Bangladesh shift on the back foot. |
| 3.5 : 3.5: Wayne Parnell to Litton Das, SIX! Welcome boundary! Slightly short and Das does not miss. He rocks back and pulls it over square leg for a biggie. |
| 4.4 : 4.4: Anrich Nortje to Shakib Al Hasan, OUT! LBW! SHAKIB GOES! Body-blow for Bangladesh as they lose their skipper! Shakib Al Hasan knew he was out as soon as he got rapped on the pads. That was an easy decision for the umpire. Anrich Nortje serves a very full ball on middle. Shakib Al Hasan shuffles way to across in his crease to flick but misses and gets pinged on the pads. An appeal for LBW and up goes the finger. Anrich Nortje gets his third now. |
| 5.5 : 5.5: Kagiso Rabada to Afif Hossain, OUT! TAKEN! Afif Hossain mistimes yet again and this time it goes in the hands of the fielder! This is superb stuff from South Africa. Pacey stuff from them! This is near the 140 regions. Short of a length and outside off. Hossain looks to pull but miscues, it goes more off the top edge and to mid off where Wayne Parnell runs forward and slides to take it. Bangladesh in all sorts of trouble. |
| 9.4 : 9.4: Tabraiz Shamsi to Mehidy Hasan, OUT! TAKEN! Tabraiz Shamsi gets one now! This is full, slower and around leg. Hasan comes down the track to heave across but mistimes and only gets height on it. Aiden Markram at deep mid-wicket settles under it and takes it easily. |
| 10.2 : 10.2: Keshav Maharaj to Litton Das, FOUR! Flatter and around off. Das sweeps it to deep square leg for a boundary. Much needed and a welcome boundary for Bangladesh. |
| 10.4 : 10.4: Keshav Maharaj to Mosaddek Hossain, OUT! STUMPED! Maharaj slows it down, this is full and outside off. Mosaddek Hossain comes down the track as he swings across but only to miss and Quinton de Kock removes the bails with ease. Mosaddek Hossain is out by miles. He doesn't even bother to get back. |
| 11.6 : 11.6: Tabraiz Shamsi to Nurul Hasan, OUT! Shamsi gets his second! Flighted, full ball, around off. Hasan slogs and tries to clear the shorter side but fails to power much. Anrich Nortje at deep square leg takes with ease. |
| 13.4 : 13.4: Tabraiz Shamsi to Litton Das, OUT! TAKEN! That is the end of Das' innings! Floated full ball on middle. Das slogs-sweeps but only to find deep mid-wicket. Tristan Stubbs dropped Das earlier but not this time. A good catch from him.  |
| 14.4: Anrich Nortje to Taskin Ahmed, FOUR! Well played! Taskin anticipates a short ball and stays back. He smacks it over mid on for a boundary. |
| 14.5 : 14.5: Anrich Nortje to Taskin Ahmed, OUT! RUN OUT! On a length and on middle. Taskin knocks it straight to cover and rushes for a quick single. Hasan was touch late to react. Rabada hits at the batter's end and the replay shows Hasan was well out. Excellent fielding. |
| 15.4 : 15.4: Tabraiz Shamsi to Mustafizur Rahman, SIX! Rahman shows his capability with the bat! Floated on middle. Rahman slogs it high over deep mid-wicket for a biggie. |
| 16.3 : 16.3: Anrich Nortje to Taskin Ahmed, OUT! BOWLED! Anrich Nortje gets his fourth wicket! On a length and on leg. Ahmed again swings across but misses and the ball hits the bails of the leg pole. SOUTH AFRICA WIN BY 104 RUNS. |
