Bangladesh pulled off a stunning 38-run victory over SA in the first of three ODIs that was played in front of a lively crowd at SuperSport Park in Centurion on Friday night.
Proteas captain Temba Bavuma won the toss and chose to bowl and the Tigers put together a competitive total of 314 where Shakib Al Hasan top scored with 77 and was followed by fifties from Liton Das and Yasir Ali.
The other notable scorers for Bangladesh were Tamim Iqbal and Mahmudullah as they took the fight to the SA bowling attack of Kagiso Rabada, Lungi Ngidi, Marco Jansen and Keshav Maharaj. The first was Malan who was caught behind by Mushfiqur Rahim off the bowling of Shoriful Islam and he was soon followed by Verreynne a few overs later who was trapped in front by Taskin Ahmed.
