South Africa and Bangladesh are set to lock horns in the final game of the three-match ODI series on Wednesday, March 23. SuperSport Park in Centurion will host the game.
Bangladesh, led by Tamim Iqbal, started their ODI sojourn on a resounding note after winning the first game by 38 runs at SuperSport Park. Collective efforts from Shakib Al Hasan, Mehidy Hasan Miraz and others helped the Tigers secure their maiden win in South Africa.
However, the hosts made a strong comeback in the pink ODI on Sunday, March 20. The Proteas won the second match of the series by seven wickets at the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg. After opting to bat first, Bangladesh lost half their side with the score at 34 in only 12.5 overs.
But a 60-run stand between Mahmudullah and Afif Hossain Dhrubo brought the visitors back into the game. Dhrubo went on to top-score for Bangladesh with 72 runs off 107 balls. Miraz also scored 38 useful runs and took the Tigers to a respectable score of 195 for nine. Kagiso Rabada picked up a five-wicket haul for South Africa.
The Proteas started their run-chase with authority after Quinton de Kock smashed 62 off 41 with nine fours and two sixes. From there on, Kyle Verreynne showed his class and stayed unbeaten on 58 off 77 with four fours and two sixes.
