‘KG’ player of the match as SA boost semi-final chances with crushing win over Bangladesh TiisetsoMalepa
On a hot and humid day, the teams were offered a fresh pitch at the Zayed Cricket Stadium, which had the look and touch of green and was expected to aid the pace-heavy SA attack.
Although Bangladesh started relatively well, surviving the opening three overs without losing a wicket as the ball swung around, they were rocked by Rabada’s three wickets in three overs between the third and sixth overs to leave the subcontinent nation shell-shocked after the conclusion of the power-play overs.
Chasing a low total, there were concerned faces in the SA dugout after Quinton de Kock [16 runs off 15 balls] and Aiden Markram [0 off four balls] failed to kickstart the Proteas' chase. When Van der Dussen was dismissed for 22 off 27 balls, the Proteas had already cut the victory target down to size and Bavuma had David Miller at the other end, who scored five runs from the two balls he faced.The Proteas remain second on six points in Group 1, two points behind rampant leaders England, who they meet in their final group match on Saturday.
