| 1.2 : 1.2: Kagiso Rabada to Liton Das, FOUR! Delightful! Lovely timing! Length and on off, Das strokes it on the up, it races through covers for the first boundary of the game. |
| 2.5 : 2.5: Keshav Maharaj to Mohammad Naim, MISFIELD AND FOUR! Second error from South Africa today and both on the bowling of Maharaj! Bavuma did mention he wants the fielding to be better at the toss but South Africa have been poor to begin with. Markram the culprit who is usually a gun fielder! This is shorter and on middle, it is pulled wide of long on. Markram runs there but lets it through for a boundary. |
| 3.6 : 3.6: Kagiso Rabada to Soumya Sarkar, OUT! THAT IS INDEED PAD FIRST! Three reds too and Rabada will be on a hat-trick in his next over! What a delivery to bowl first up to a new batter! Rabada goes full, fast and gets it to tail back in from around off. Sarkar plants his front foot right across and looks to jam it out. There are two noises, it has surely hit both bat and pad but not sure what it has hit first. A huge appeal but turned down. The South Africans are pretty sure and review. Replays s |
| 3.5 : 3.5: Kagiso Rabada to Mohammad Naim, OUT! STRAIGHT TO THE MAN! Bangladesh lose their first and quite early! Rabada strikes! A shortish ball on middle, seems like Rabada rolled his fingers over the ball. Naim looks to pull but is a touch early in the stroke. It goes more off the bottom and straight to mid-wicket where Reeza Hendricks takes a dolly. |
| 5.3 : 5.3: Kagiso Rabada to Mushfiqur Rahim, OUT! TAKEN! That is a clean catch! Rabada is breathing fire here as he has his third. Shorter and on off, Rahim looks to defend but the extra bounce does him in. This flies off the outside edge towards widish slip where Reeza Hendricks takes a sharp catch above his head. Rahim hangs around as he is not sure about it being taken cleanly. It is referred and replays show Hendricks has done well to hang onto it. |
| 7.6 : 7.6: Anrich Nortje to Mahmudullah, OUT! TAKEN! Not sure how Mahmudullah did not know he hit that! Probably it was a review in hope! Bangladesh slip further and it is Nortje who gets his first now. Extra bounce again does the trick! Short and on off, Mahmudllah looks to fend it away. It gets big on him. He fails to ride on top of the bounce. It hits the glove, then the shoulder and lobs to point where Markram takes an easy catch. Mahmudullah reviews. Replays show that there is a spike on Ultra Ed |
| 8.1 : 8.1: Dwaine Pretorius to Afif Hossain, OUT! TIMBER! Two in two for South Africa and really not sure what Afif tried to play there! It is his first ball. He just steps down the track, it is bowled full and on middle, Afif swings across the line but misses and the stumps are shattered. All falling apart for Bangladesh. |
| 11.3 : 11.3: Tabraiz Shamsi to Liton Das, OUT! LBW! Bangladesh lose a review as well! Nicely tossed up, on middle, turning in sharply. Liton Das looks to flick but he misses and gets hit on his front pad. Tabraiz Shamsi puts in an appeal and the umpire raises his finger in no time. Das opts for a review but the Ball Tracker indicates three reds and it is OUT! Das takes his walk back to the pavilion. |
| 12.1 : 12.1: Keshav Maharaj to Mahedi Hasan, FOUR! A much-needed boundary for Bangladesh! Flatter ball, on middle. Mahedi Hasan stays back and just guides it past the short third man fielder for a boundary. |
| 15.2 : 15.2: Tabraiz Shamsi to Shamim Hossain, OUT! CAUGHT! Tabraiz Shamsi has another! Tosses it up, outside off. Shamim Hossain charges down the track and heaves it to long on. Gets height but not the distance on it. Keshav Maharaj settles himself under it and pouches the catch easily. He doesn't drop those. Another sensless dismissal and Bangladesh dig themselves into a bigger hole. |
| 15.5 : 15.5: Tabraiz Shamsi to Mahedi Hasan, FOUR! Shamsi drops it short, on middle. Mahedi Hasan hangs back and pulls it with disdain towards deep mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 17.2 : 17.2: Tabraiz Shamsi to Taskin Ahmed, OUT! RUN OUT! Excellent work from Temba Bavuma. That is really sharp stuff. Shamsi with a tossed up delivery, on off. Taskin Ahmed plays it to short extra cover. He takes off for a quick single. Temba Bavuma picks up the ball and has ample of time to have an aim at the stumps. He scores a direct hit and Taskin Ahmed is caught well short of his crease. Bangladesh lose their eight. |
| 17.3 : 17.3: Tabraiz Shamsi to Mahedi Hasan, SIX! BANG! First six of the innings! Loopy ball, on off. Mahedi Hasan shimmies down the track and smokes it flat over extra cover for a maximum. |
| 18.1 : 18.1: Anrich Nortje to Mahedi Hasan, OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Anrich Nortje bags his second wicket. Short ball, on middle. Mahedi Hasan looks to pull but miscues. He gets a top edge. The ball goes straight up in the air. Anrich Nortje calls for it and grabs a dolly. Mahedi Hasan was looking good but has to depart now. Bangladesh's last hope of crossing 100 is also over. |
| 18.2 : 18.2: Anrich Nortje to Nasum Ahmed, OUT! BOWLED! Proper fast bowling conditions and South Africa have made full use of it. Full and straight from Nortje. Nasum Ahmed makes room for himself and has a big swing at it. He misses and the stumps behind him gets completely destroyed. Actually, it is not the ball which hits the stumps but it is actually Ahmed who destroys the stumps as he tries to cut. He had moved way back into the crease. HE IS ACTUALLY OUT HIT-WICKET! A complete dominating perform |
| 0.4 : 0.4: Taskin Ahmed to Reeza Hendricks, FOUR! Reeza Hendricks is off the mark with a boundary! Overpitched delivery, outside off. Hendricks places it in the gap through extra cover and gets a boundary. |
| 0.6 : 0.6: Taskin Ahmed to Reeza Hendricks, OUT! LBW! Bangladesh get an early breakthrough. Just the start they needed. Taskin Ahmed bowls a length ball, nipping back in sharply, on off. Reeza Hendricks looks to defend but misses. He gets rapped on the pads. Another loud shout from Ahmed and this time the umpire doesn't hesitate to raise his finger. Reeza Hendricks asks Quinton de Kock whether to review or not and he doesn't. That looked dead front. Reeza Hendricks will have to walk back to the |
| 2.6: Taskin Ahmed to Quinton de Kock, FOUR! Put away! Short ball, on middle. Quinton de Kock pulls it to deep backward square leg for a boundary. No chance for the fielder to cut it off. The ball races away to the fence in a jiffy. |
| 3.4 : 3.4: Shoriful Islam to Rassie van der Dussen, FOUR! In the gap! Once again, on the pads. Rassie van der Dussen works it to deep square leg. Times this one nicely and fetches himself a boundary. |
| 4.2 : 4.2: Mahedi Hasan to Quinton de Kock, FOUR! Beautifully played! Lovely sound too off the bat! Tosses it up, outside off. Quinton de Kock makes room, opens up his arms and lofts it over extra cover for a boundary. |
| 4.3 : 4.3: Mahedi Hasan to Quinton de Kock, FOUR! Shot! Floats it up, on middle, Quinton de Kock plays a reverse sweep. The ball races past the point fielder for another boundary. Two in a row! |
| 4.5 : 4.5: Mahedi Hasan to Quinton de Kock, OUT! TIMBER! Mahedi Hasan has the last laugh! Gets spanked for a couple of boundaries and responds back. That was a floated delivery, on leg. Quinton de Kock gives himself some room to play it on the off side. He misses it completely. The ball skids on and goes through his bat and pad and disturbs the wooden furniture behind him. South Africa lose their second wicket. |
| 5.5: Taskin Ahmed to Aiden Markram, OUT! CAUGHT! Excellent bowling from Taskin Ahmed and he is rewarded with another wicket! Good-length ball, just outside off.

South Africa lose their third wicket inside the Powerplay. |

| 11.5 : 11.5: Soumya Sarkar to Temba Bavuma, FOUR! Temba Bavuma gets hold of one now! Good-length ball, around off. Bavuma stands tall and lofts it over mid on for a boundary. |
| 12.3 : 12.3: Nasum Ahmed to Temba Bavuma, FOUR! Streaky! Short and outside off, Temba Bavuma hangs back and looks to cut. The ball goes off the outside edge towards third man for a boundary. |
| 12.5 : 12.5: Nasum Ahmed to Rassie van der Dussen, FOUR! Rassie van der Dussen takes on the bowler now! Floats it up, on leg. Rassie van der Dussen uses his feet and heaves it to the vacant long on region for a boundary. |
