Live Cricket Score of South Africa vs Bangladesh, 3rd ODI

Ruthless

It's all over finally as Mehidy becomes Tahir's second and final victim of the evening. South Africa have won by a resounding margin of 200 runs. They have swept this series 3-0. Nothing went right for Bangladesh right from the start. Their bowling attack was once again torn apart even from the newcomers this time and their batting crumbled as expected, chasing a daunting 370. It's time for them to regroup now for the two T20Is.

Just a formality now

Mashrafe edges one behind to the wicketkeeper and Paterson has his third of the day. Bangladesh need more than 200 and they have only two wickets left. This is ending any moment now.

Two for Markram

Dream debut! A half-century and now two wickets! Markram is having a memorable outing as Sabbir only gets a thin outside edge in his attempt to send Markram out of the park. Number seven goes down for Bangladesh.

Shakib departs

The allrounder fails to make use of the chance he got from the hands of AB. The acting skipper failed to grasp a chance after Shakib got a top edge but then just one ball later, Markram gets rid of the Bangladesh superstar. Shakib connects one cleanly but it's hit straight to the deep midwicket fielder.

Lone-man fighting

Shakib has been batting well today. He is the only batsman putting up a fight amidst the ruins from the other end. He now gets to a half-century which is well appreciated by the small Bangladesh contingent. The visitors are 93 for 5 now.

First wicket for Mulder

He is elated! Look how much it means for him. Mulder is just 19 years old and it's his first wicket in international cricket for South Africa. Mahmudullah goes for a swipe but misses the ball completely as it hits his pad. The umpire's finger goes up immediately. Bangladesh are five down in the 15th over.

Procession continues

Rahim was going nowhere with that knock and he knew it was make or break time. Phehlukwayo is introduced into the attack by stand-in-skipper de Villiers and the batsman decides to take him on. All he could manage is only a top edge that is pouched by Rabada. South Africa are elated. Bangladesh are in tatters.

Top order gone

He falls for the one that was bowled well outside off. Sarkar will be gutted with that shot. He edges one behind to the slip cordon where Markram takes his first catch in ODI cricket. This is shocking stuff!

Another one bites the dust

Liton Das has a chat with Soumya Sarkar and decides not to review it. Right call that one as the replays confirm that the ball would have clipped the leg stump. Bangladesh are in big trouble so early in a 370 chase. Paterson gets his second and Mushfiqur Rahim is now out in the middle. They need to stem the fall of wickets.

Early wicket

Imrul Kayes wants to take on Dane Paterson but fails in his execution. He isn't able to clear the mid on fielder and is caught by Behardien. Bangladesh under the pump right at the start as Liton Das strides in.
