Bangladesh struggled to get going in their pursuit of 206 runs as they quickly lost nine wickets. Anrich Nortje was primarily responsible for most of the harm to South Africa. Earlier, South Africa defeated Bangladesh by scoring 205/5 in 20 overs thanks to Rilee Rossouw’s 109-run innings.

Earlier, in the Super 12 Group 2 encounter at the Sydney Cricket Ground, South Africa won the toss and elected to bat first against Bangladesh.

Only the second batsman in T20I history to accomplish this feat, Rilee Rossouw was cruel as usual, scoring consecutive hundreds in innings. Even though Quinton de Kock played the second fiddle, the goal was still scored quickly. The Bangladeshi bowlers, who were being dragged all over the place, were utterly destroyed by that partnership.

Bangladesh’s pursuit of 206 got off to a shaky start as they quickly lost five wickets. Anrich Nortje was primarily responsible for most of the harm to South Africa. Earlier, South Africa defeated Bangladesh by scoring 205/5 in 20 overs thanks to Rilee Rossouw’s 109-run innings.

South Africa ignored the disappointments of the Zimbabwe washout:

South Africa put up an outstanding effort against Bangladesh in their T20 World Cup Super 12 Group 2 match on Thursday at the Sydney Cricket Ground, leaving the disappointments of the washout against Zimbabwe a few days earlier behind them. After South Africa’s skipper Temba Bavuma was struck by Taskin Ahmed early in the first over, Rilee Rossouw and Quinton de Kock led the onslaught.

The match began to go in South Africa’s favor after the third over of their inning. Taskin threw a few no-balls, but de Kock hammered one of them for a six and gained the upper hand. Soon after Rossouw joined him, the two aggressive left-handers began to maximize the powerplay. After the first six over, they had a score of 63. Shakib Al Hasan was struck for 21 runs in the 11th over, which caused the momentum to shift once more. The captain of Bangladesh was struck by Rossouw for two sixes and a four.

De Kock swiftly followed Rossouw as the first player to reach his half-century off 30 balls. The pair kept up their assault on the Bangladesh bowlers, pummeling them in all directions. De Kock and Rossouw achieved the highest wicket partnership in T20 World Cup history as a result.

South Africa wins by 104 runs, with Nortje taking 4 for 10, his best T20I figures and the best by a South African in T20 World Cups.
