Rampant Bangladesh Tigers Make History By Defeating Embarrassed Proteas in ODI Series

• Bangladesh completed South Africa's cricketing humiliating with an outstanding One Day International series victory on Wednesday afternoon
• The Tigers thumped the Proteas by nine wickets in front of a majority-Bangladeshi crowd in Centurion
• This ensured that the visitors won the One Day International series 2-1, their first ever on South African soil

A brilliant all-round performance from Bangladesh saw them power to a thumping nine-wicket win over the Proteas in the deciding ODI at SuperSport Park in Centurion to claim a historic first-ever ODI series win over the hosts in South Africa.

Having been set just 155 to win the third and final Betway ODI, the visitors were led from the front by captain Tamim Iqbal who struck an unbeaten 87 off 82 balls, striking 14 boundaries, as they cruised to the target with a massive 23.3 overs to spare, giving them a 2-1 series win.

As reported by SuperSport in a match Sports Brief observed, despite Iqbal’s fantastic knock the man-of-the-match award deservedly went to bowler Taskin Ahmed who ripped the heart out of the Proteas top and middle order with superb figures 5/35, to help dismiss the hosts for just 154 in their innings

Defending such a low total the Proteas needed early wickets if they were to stand any chance of fighting back and it was almost delivered by strike bowler Kagiso Rabada in the first over, as Liton Das (48) cut a wide delivery straight to point where Keshav Maharaj dropped a regulation catch.

It proved to be a decisive moment as Iqbal and Das barely offered another chance as they set the chase up perfectly with a 127-run opening partnership, which swiftly put the Proteas out of the match.

Women's Cricket World Cup: Brave but error prone Proteas fall to rampant favourites Australia

South Africa has never beaten Australia in a women's One Day International before, and unfortunately, it will have to wait for that historic moment.

The unstoppable Baggy Green were too good for the Proteas this morning, defeating the Proteas by five wickets at the Basin Reserve Cricket Ground in Wellington, New Zealand.

Chasing an imposing 272 for victory, the Australians made light work of the target, aided by poor South African fielding which saw seven critical catches being dropped in a match Sports Brief observed.
