BAN vs SA Africa Highlights, World Cup 2019: Bangladesh beat South Africa by 21 runs - as it happened at The Oval

South Africa vs Bangladesh World Cup 2019: Bangladesh started their ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 campaign on a high note as they beat South Africa by 21 runs at the Oval. This is the second loss for South Africa in this tournament. 

Chasing 331 to win, South Africa were restricted to 309 for 8 in their 50 overs. Many Proteas batsmen had a good start but no one went on to play a big innings as they lost the steam in the final overs of the chase. 

Earlier, Bangladesh had posted their highest one-day international score making 330 for six.  Mushfiqur Rahim (78 from 80 balls) and Shakib Al Hasan (75 off 84 balls) combined in a 142-run partnership as Bangladesh overtook their previous highest ODI total of 329 for six against Pakistan in 2015.

South Africa captain Faf du Plessis had won the toss and fielded, but his decision backfired badly as Bangladesh put his lethargic bowling attack to the sword.
