South Africa vs Bangladesh Scorecard and Highlights: Post-Match comments

Aiden Markram - South Africa Captain: You're always going to be nervous in a final over finish like that. It can make you mentally quite tired but it’s great to be a part of games like these. (The catch) It could’ve gone anywhere but a few things went our way today so was great to be on the right side of that and get the win. You want to drag the game out as long as you can, it’s all conditions dependent so we wanted to drag the game out. We put him under quite a bit of pressure but David (Miller) has done it back to back to get us to decent scores.

Najmul Shanto - Bangladesh Captain: We were bit nervous but we were confident we could get over the line but unfortunately it did not happen. (Tanzim Hasan) He worked really hard last couple of days, we wanted wickets with the new ball and he showed character today. This is the match we should have won, last couple of overs they bowled really well. It can happen in cricket. (Rishad) He is very good, the way we bowled last couple of series, he practiced very hard. We’ve struggled with leg-spinners over the last 10-15 yrs so we’re lucky we got one. Hopefully he can continue. Thanks to all the supporters, hopefully they'll come to the West Indies as well.

Heinrich Klaasen - Player of the Match: That was not nice on the heart but good that we got over the line. The wicket is not too great for strokeplay. We got some good information from the last game and applied it today, we got a decent score. Luckily we’ve got experience in the change room, we almost had a One-Day mindset. Three pressure games now but I think we’re through so that’s good.

Bangladesh Captain - Najmul Shanto: I wanted to bowl, so happy to bowl first. We have one change, Soumya Sarkar not playing. We feel good to see the crowds come out here and support us.

South Africa vs Bangladesh Live Score and Updates: Pitch Report

Playing on the same surface as yesterday and it hasn't fully settled down yet. It will be better for the bowlers, they need to bowl a bit back of length, a little bit shorter than Test match length and force the batters to hit square of the wicket. Bowling those hard lengths and having people hit square towards the longer boundaries will be difficult.

South Africa have won the toss and opted to bat first.

An improved but still challenging pitch, and a sadly still slow outfield. The forecast is for highish humidity, which could aid swing, and perhaps a passing shower.

Aiden Markram and his team followed this with a four-wicket win against the Netherlands at the same venue, reaching the 104-run target with seven balls to spare.

It will be a good toss to lose because the pitches here are unpredictable. The pitches will provide a lot of help for the bowlers and run-making will be difficult as the tournament has suggested so far. Recent weather conditions have been wet, potentially affecting pitch conditions on match day. The captain who wins the toss will look to bat second.
