South Africa tour of Bangladesh, 2007/08 / Scorecard

South Africa in Bangladesh ODI Series - 3rd ODI

Bangladesh v South Africa

South Africa won by 7 wickets (with 94 balls remaining)

ODI no. 2692 | 2007/08 season
Played at Shere Bangla National Stadium, Mirpur
14 March 2008 (50-over match)


Bangladesh innings (50 overs maximum)		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
Tamim Iqbal	c †de Villiers b JA Morkel	8	39	31	1	0	25.80
9.2 Tamim's in disbelief but he has to walk... Pitches on a good length a shade outside the offstump, Tamim pokes his bat out and there's a sound before the ball reaches the keeper. De Villiers the rest appeal and umpire Nadir Shah is convinced. Replays show the ball clipping the pad on the way through. 34/1
Shahriar Nafees	c †de Villiers b M Morkel	25	53	33	3	0	75.75
12.2 Nafees is gone too. This one too came in from round the wicket and again Nafees was cramped up and tried to play it quite similarly to the previous delivery : opening the bat face and trying to steer but this one bounced more and took the edge 41/2
Nazimuddin	c Smith b JA Morkel	20	43	30	3	0	66.66
17.6 OMG! What happened there? They are in a suicide mode here. He walked right across the stumps and tried to slog a length delivery across the line but only skied it for Smith to get under it at midwicket. Horrible shot. What was he thinking? Was he thinking? 72/4
Mohammad Ashraful*	c Amla b JA Morkel	9	14	10	1	0	90.00
15.1 Dust to Ash es . Death by aggression. Full in length, on the middle stump and he goes for a ugly heave and can only manage to send it to mid-on. Ashraful is livid with himself. But the deed has been done. Just 17 runs in this series. What a waste of a talent. 61/3
Shakib Al Hasan	b Botha	12	39	15	1	0	80.00
22.6 One more down. Shakib is cleaned up. Flighted from round the stumps, full, he tried to whip it to midwicket, missed and the ball bounded off the pad and on to the stumps. 97/5
Raqibul Hasan	run out (Duminy/†de Villiers)	12	36	30	1	0	40.00
26.1 Botha to Dhiman Ghosh, The third umpire has given Raqibul run out. Dhiman went back and pushed towards covers, Duminy swooped in and fired in a throw to the 'keeper who took the bails off. There was a doubt whether the bails had come off before the batsman had dragged the bat inside the crease but on careful and repeated viewing, the umpire presses the red button. 101/6
Dhiman Ghosh†	b Harris	3	18	14	0	0	21.42
27.4 bowled him! Harris slips in the arm ball on middle and off, Ghosh moves back and tries to cut, he gets beaten for pace and misses, Bangladesh are seven down, an abject performance so far 106/7
Farhad Reza	not out	20	68	47	2	0	42.55

Abdur Razzak	c †de Villiers b Botha	9	15	12	1	0	75.00
30.6 Another swipe across the line and de Villiers takes a very sharp catch. Razzak top-edged a intended slog and de Villiers managed to hold on to a tough chance. 118/8
Mashrafe Mortaza	c †de Villiers b JA Morkel	5	30	25	0	0	20.00
38.6 The ninth wicket is down. It was pretty short in length, outside the off stump and he top-edged a cut to the 'keeper 135/9
Mosharraf Hossain	c †de Villiers b Botha	3	14	13	0	0	23.07
42.5 Bangladesh innings has been terminated. This time the batsman walks after nicking to de Villiers. Flighted around the off stump and edged behind 143/10

South Africa innings (target: 144 runs from 50 overs)		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
HH Gibbs	c Mohammad Ashraful b Abdur Razzak	10	22	17	1	0	58.82
5.2 caught at covers. It landed on the off and middle and turned away from Gibbs who tried to force it off the back foot but hit it straight to covers. He was not in the right position and the ball turned a bit more than he thought. 19/1

AN Petersen	lbw b Mosharraf Hossain	24	54	54	3	0	44.44

AB de Villiers†	b Farhad Reza	40	53	37	7	0	108.10
33.2 done in by the nip-backer. It cut in from outside off stump, the bat came down outside the line and it hit the pad in front of middle and went on to disturb the furniture. He would have been out lbw even if it didn't go on to hit the stumps. But a refreshing innings from de Villiers. He came in and immediately upped the ante. 138/3
