Live Cricket Score - South Africa vs Bangladesh, Super 12, T20 World Cup 2022

Massive win

A much-needed win after the washout against Zimbabwe for South Africa. This was a comprehensive win as both the batters and the bowlers delivered. It puts them on top of the table because of the NRR.

Wickets falling in heaps

South Africa's NRR is going to receive a huge boost today without a doubt. Maharaj and Shamsi pick up a wicket each now as Bangladesh lose number 7. This is going to end early.

Shamsi strikes

The man at deep long on takes the catch as Mehidy departs. He failed to get to the pitch of the ball but still wanted to get through with the shot. Bangladesh are crumbling here.

Rabada joins the fun

Afif Hossain is the next to fall as Bangladesh continue to lose their way. Rabada comes back after the first over hammering and is rewarded with a wicket. The batsman went for a pull shot but only managed a top edge. This could end soon at this rate. Bangladesh are 47/4.

Another one

Nortje is on fire!! He gets rid of the Bangladesh captain now as Shakib walks back lbw. But guess what, he should have reviewed that. The ball did strike him plumb in front but it pitched outside leg, the replays confirm. Shakib sees the replay after entering the dugout and is so disappointed.

The show is over

Nortje comes into the attack and immediately hurts Bangladesh with his pace. The two openers may have sent a strong signal in that opening over but Soumyar Sarkar edges one behind and Nortje's 148 kmph delivery clatters Shanto's stumps. Bangladesh are 27/2.

What. A. Start.

Rabada has conceded 17 runs in an over to begin the chase. Soumya Sarkar got the strike for the final two balls of the first over and he hammered them both for sixes. Bangladesh need their openers to click.

South Africa finish with 205/5

Bangladesh came back strong towards the end but South Africa still managed to post 205/5. They could have easily scored another 20 runs at the rate in which they were going at one stage. This should still be enough to brush Bangladesh aside given the Asian side's batting woes in this format. They literally need a freakish innings from someone to challenge this South African attack.

End of an amazing innings

Another batsman perishes while attempting a big shot against a spinner but South Africa won't mind since they already have almost 200 on the board. Rossouw departs having smashed eight sixes today. Terrific knock!!
