It was the 30th match played between South Africa vs Bangladesh yesterday at Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi. South Africa beat Bangladesh by 6 wickets.
South Africa won the toss and elected to bowl first. Bangladesh performed very poor in this match. Bangladesh just all out for 84 runs. It was the big collapse for Bangladesh in 2021 T20 world cup. Mehedi Hasan scored 27 runs for Bangladesh and others batsman came and gone without any credible innings.
Proteas bowlers performed their best. Proteas pacer Anrich Nortje picked up 3 wickets for only 8 runs in 3.2 overs. Another pacer Kagisho Rabada picked up 3 wickets for 20 runs in 4 overs. Tabraiz Shamsi took 2 wickets and Dwaine Pretorius 2 wickets.
In reply it was very easy for Africa to chase down the small target though they have lost their top orders early but Temba Bavuma's responsible batting helped them to chase down the target just in 13.3 overs. Bavuma scored unbeaten 31 runs in 28 balls including 3 fours and a six. Kagisho Rabada was player of the match.
