the leg stump is disturbed! Once again he backed away early, and Nortje went on a back of a length. And once again, the ball shaped back into the left-hander. Taskin tried to slam that across the line, but was beaten, as South Africa clinch a massive win by 104 runs
South Africa vs Bangladesh, 22nd Match, Group 2 at Sydney,T20 WC, Oct 27 2022 - Match Result
Rilee Rossouw and de Kock's 163-run partnership is SA's highest for the 2nd wicket in T20Is, breaking the record of 131 between du Plessis and Hendricks
So South Africa not only win big, but also will be table toppers at least for a short while. They hold a huge net run rate at the moment - remember they couldn't make the semi-final last year just due to the NRR? - and might well have made up for the washout against Zimbabwe. Action shifts to India vs Netherlands, as we bid you goodbye from here! Take care.
Rillee Rossouw is the Player of the Match for his 109
S Sinha: "Bavuma did exactly the right thing in giving enough play to the spinners as well in this sort of a game to find the necessary rhythm under the conditions and get cracking for the matches ahead."
Niamatullah: "Rilee Rossouw beat Bangladesh by 8 runs."
5.38pm Bangladesh were never in the chase except for the first two overs, at which stage they were 26 without loss. The slide began in the next over, and Anrich Nortje completed what he had started, ending with 4 for 10. Shamsi too capitalised on the mountain of a score - courtesy Rossouw's career-best 109 - to get a confidence-boosting 3 for 20, as South Africa rolled Bangladesh over for less that half of what they had scored.

direct hit at the keeper's end from Rabada! Mahmud easily short of the crease, almost as if he had given up. Yes, it was a risky run which they attempted, as Taskin got a hard length ball on off, which he pushed to cover and set off. But he ran back late there with Rabada placed close in, and the latter had all three stumps to aim at

good low catch by Stubbs at deep square leg! He had to dive forward with the sun beating down, and did well to keep his eyes on the ball. Litton went hard and flat at a slog sweep to this full ball on middle and off, but couldn't time that well
