South Africa 284/8 (50 ov.)
Bangladesh 78 (28 ov.)
Bangladesh were not favourites to win their virtual pre-quarterfinal against the might of South Africa, especially after the visitors breezed away to 284, but it was the meek manner of their abject batting surrender that would have jarred even their most faithful fan.
Eight overs in to the tall chase, and the heart of their batting line-up had been ripped out by Lonwabo Tsotsobe, causing the substantial crowd at the Shere Bangla Stadium to quickly start dwindling. They never recovered from the initial blows, and all they managed was to beat their lowest total of 58 achieved against West Indies earlier in the tournament by 20 runs, before being put out of their misery by Robin Peterson’s fourth wicket.

Toss: Smith calls and wins the toss. He’s decided to bat. Ganguly was right then? Two changes: Parnell and Tsotsobe are playing, Steyn and Morkel are not. They’ve been rested. Bangladesh won’t mind that. Imran Tahir’s also been picked, an extra spinner in place of Colin Ingram. One change for Bangladesh, Naeem Islam comes in for Suhrawadi Shuvo. Allrounder for spinner. No AB de Villiers, still, for South Africa.

Abdur Razzak to Smith, no run, referral, Harper’s given it out as Smith tries to sweep it from outside off, lands outside off, turns in and Smith tries to sweep it square.
Replays show there was no inside edge, but the impact was outside the line. Harper overturns his decision, was an on-field call but the impact was clearly outside off

Another great sart thrown away by Graeme , he must not move into his shell.
Mahmudullah to Smith, OUT
GC Smith st †Mushfiqur Rahim b Mahmudullah 45 (68b 4×4 0x6) SR: 66.17
Mahmudullah to Smith, OUT, stumped, Smith danced down the track, Mahmudullah bowled well there, held back the length, it turned away as Smith tried to reach for it, Mushfiqur took it way to his left and Smith had a chance to get his bat back in. But he didn’t ground it and didn’t react quickly enough, Mushfiqur took off the bails to catch him short
