Summary Disenchanted Bangladeshi fans witnessed their side humiliated at Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium.
Chasing a target of 285, Bangladeshi batsmen never seemed to be be a challenge for their opponents. TSouth African bowlers always pushed them to the wall and apart from the skipper, Shakib, who made 30, no batsmen managed to enter double figures. After a destructive opening spell of Tsotsobe in which he took three wickets for only 14 runs, it was only the matter of survival for Bangladesh. Peterson confirmed the victory for his side by taking four wickets against 17 runs in 7.1 overs. South Africa scored 92 runs in the last 10 overs and stretched their aggregate to 284/8 that proved too much for Bangladesh. Kallis (69) remained the top scorer for his side, while Amla (51), Plessis (52) and Smith (45) were the other major contributors to the total. Robin Peterson made a fiery 22 off 9 balls and hit four boundaries in his brief cameo. Rubel Hossain was the most successful bowlers by claiming three South African wickets. Skipper Shakib Al Hasan took three, while Abdur Razzak and Mahmudullah got one wicket each.
