A superb bowling performance from Bangladesh and they have given themselves a real chance here of beating South Africa for the first time in a T20 game. It started with a superb new ball burst from Tanzim Hasan, who picked three out of the top four wickets to reduce South Africa to 25/4 after the powerplay. Failures for Hendricks, Markram and Qdk once again as South Africa's top-order continue to be a concern. David Miller rescued the innings once again, this time forging a partnership with Klaasen. The duo batted slowly on what was a two-paced wicket with some spongy bounce. Klaasen took the odd chance against spin, and was looking end for a slog overs onslaught but Taskin Ahmed came back to strike. Bangladesh kept things tight in the death to keep the target to just 114

Tanzim Hasan Sakib: On this wicket, every match was low-scoring and we tried to bowl in the good areas and that worked. de Kock wicket was my favourite, because he hit me for sixes and I managed to get him out. We got the breakthroughs at the perfect time. Always happy to see the crowd (support of Bangladesh fans), really appreciate it and their support is really motivating for us.
