We are back for the chase! The players have made their way out to the middle. Tamim Iqbal and Liton Das are at the crease. Kagiso Rabada will start proceedings with the ball for the Proteas. Let's go!
... THE RUN CHASE ...
Bangladesh has a chance of creating history at Centurion! Their bowlers have done an incredible job of restricting the Proteas to 154 and it is now onto their batters to show some composure and take Bangladesh to a famous victory. Do join us for their reply which begins shortly.
The man of the moment, Taskin Ahmed is up for a quick chat. He says he is very happy. Adds, he just stuck to his process and indicates there was some extra bounce which helped him. Tells that he has been believing in the process for many years and that is the key to his success.
Bangladesh would be over the moon right now! They pulled things back in their favor after leaking runs at the start and it was Mehidy Hasan who got them the breakthrough. Although, it was Taskin Ahmed who stole the show as he kept the batters on their toes and picked wickets in a cluster for his side. This is the second 5-wicket haul for Taskin Ahmed in ODIs. The previous time he took a Michelle, it was in 2014 against India in Dhaka, but his team stumbled to 58 all out, chasing a 'meager' total of 106 as a certain Stuart Binny ran havoc. This time, the target is bigger but the conditions look pretty good to script a famous overseas match and series win for Bangladesh.
South Africa got off to a good start and it was Janneman Malan who was the aggressor for them. Quinton de Kock perished while trying to up the ante and after that nothing went the Proteas' way. Wickets kept tumbling for them and they completely lost the plot. Miller and Dwaine Pretorius showed some resistance but they too got out after getting a start. If not for Keshav Maharaj, South Africa would have failed to cross even the 130-run mark. He finished as their second-highest run-scorer and that sums up their story.
What a splendid bowling performance this has been from Bangladesh! They have been absolutely brilliant with the ball and South Africa have now recorded their lowest-ever ODI total against Bangladesh. At one point, the Proteas were cruising along as the openers stitched together a good partnership of 46 runs. However, they lost 10 wickets for just 108 runs and it is the tourists who have dominated the proceedings and history beckons for them.
OUT! RUN OUT! That will be the end of South Africa's inning. A flatter ball, around off. Maharaj knocks it to point and tries to keep the strike with a quick single but Shamsi was not ready for the call. Tamim Iqbal at point throws it to the keeper who whips the bails off. It is taken upstairs and the replay shows Maharaj was well short. South Africa are all-out for 154.
