Bangladesh recorded its best aggregate in international cricket in a day while it shocked South Africa to start its World Cup campaign with a 21-race victory.
Pointing Card | AS IT HAS BEEN CONDUCTED
A record distance of 142 points between Shakib Al Hasan (75) and Mushfiqur Rahim (78) laid the foundation before a late badault on Mahmudullah (46 no to 33 balls) pushed Bangladesh to 330-6 in The Oval.
South Africa needed the most successful pursuit in World Cup history to win, but the unfortunate talent to lose a wicket, as they seemed to be in the ascendancy, led them to the limit. ending 309-8.
The consecutive defeats mean that, just four days into the tournament, pressure is exerted on the Proteas, who suffer another blow and Lungi Ngidi can only beat four others before leaving the field with a hamstring problem .
South Africa had previously chosen to challenge Bangladesh and perhaps regretted this decision when Tamim Iqbal and, in particular, Soumya Sarkar were out of the blocks.
They put 60 before Tamim (16) was sacked the ninth and although Soumya (42 out of 30 balls) fell three balls later, Bangladesh maintained momentum thanks to Shakib and Mushfiqur.
The duo superbly beat, finding the border almost every time to put pressure on the bowlers of South Africa. They surpbaded the 50 and the partnership set at 142 before an increasingly frustrated striker failed to break through.
Shakib was the man to leave, imanized by Imran Tahir around the legs to signal the beginning of the best fate of the South African heats. Mushfiqur was stranded, facing only 12 balls in the next seven, before succumbing to Andile Phehlukwayo shortly after Mohammad Mithun (21) was defeated by Tahir.
With the heats threatening to tarnish Mahmudullah, and with the help of Mosaddek Hossain (26) and Mehidy Hasan (5), Bangladesh had 54 badists among the four finalists to reach a record.
The pursuit in South Africa has started well. Quinton de Kock and Aiden Markram scored 49 just before Mushfiqur, who let slip a chance on the back of the strains, managed to redeem himself right away, recovering the ball and releasing De Kock (23) confusion between the drummers.
Markram and Faf du Plessis added 53 for the second wicket, but again, a promising partnership was cut short – this time by Shakib who skidded one by Markram's defenses as the first match was resumed.
South Africa's once again regrouped and Du Plessis seemed to be in excellent contact, hitting the ball for six minutes to reach his half-century, but an influx of blood lightened him. saw the track down towards Mehidy. and tore the ball beyond its inner edge and repelled the stump.
Spinners from Bangladesh have kept the South African drummers tied, but that's the return of the seamstresses who brought the next wicket, thus ending a partnership of 55 for the fourth wicket. David Miller was the man from, getting a length ahead of the Mustafizur Rahman back.
It was a big box office for Bangladesh and they strengthened their grip on the contest as Rbadie van der Dussen (41), Andile Phehlukwayo (8) and Chris Morris (10) were fired.
The importance of late blooming in Bangladesh was demonstrated when South Africa needed only 55 out of the last four games. JP Duminy (45) did everything to bring the Proteas closer to attacking Mustafizur.
The seamstress on the left arm won, finishing with figures of 3-67, while Bangladesh posed the tournament marker.
