Live Score: Bangladesh vs South Africa
So with the 3-match series leveled, the 3rd ODI is set up brilliantly. The hosts have thrown challenge flush in the face of the Proteas. Do join us for the coverage of the final ODI from Chittagong on 15th July (1430 IST).
The Protea batting lacked any momentum, only Faf du Plessis and Farhaan Behardien offered a little bit of fight. In stark contrast, the Bangladeshi chase was led by a MAN OF THE MATCH SOUMYA SARKAR with his unbeaten knock of 88 and Mahmudullah's 50 off 64 balls. Their record breaking 135-run stand handed South Africa their second worst defeat (in terms of balls remaining) in the sub continent.
The SOUTH AFRICANS ARE BEATEN BY 7 WICKETS in the second ODI of this 3-match tournament. It's a historic win for the hosts as the Proteas were bowled out for 162, which their lowest total against Bangladesh. The series leveling victory is the product of astute captaincy by Mashrafe Mortaza. Shakib al Hasan kept one end tied up, the new kid on the block, Mustafizur Rahman and Nasir Hossain each picked up 3-fers.
SIX! Tossed up full on middle, Sarkar gets down on one knee and slog sweeps this and just about clears the Rabada at deep mid-wicket for a maximum. The perfect way get to a much need victory, in terms of qualification for the champions trophy.
