BAN 96-5 (18 Ovs) vs SA 113-6 | Scorecard

Ottneil Baartman is back into the attack. South Africa have struggled to break this partnership thus far.

First ball is flicked away by Hridoy for a single.

LBW Appeal! The umpire has given it OUT! Although the review shows that the ball is missing the stumps and Bangladesh breathe a sigh of relief!

A dot ball and a single come off the next two deliveries.

FOUR! A beautiful shot through the covers! A class shot with sublime timing and the crowd roars as the ball zips to the ropes in a flash.

Two more singles to close out the over.  At the end of 17, it is 94-4.

Rabada comes in to deliver the 18th over

WICKET! It's a crucial one as Hridoy is caught in front of the stumps as the ball hits his hip. Umpire is very certain as his finger goes up. OUT! A crucial wicket that as Hridoy was a key player for Bangladesh and had a brave knock.

Towhid Hridoy lbw b Rabada 37(34)

Rabada is in form now and piles on the pressure. Three consecutive dot balls on the trot!
This is some specacular bowling at the death by the experienced pacer.

In the end, the batters nervously squeeze two runs off the final two balls. Just two runs off that amazing over.

Bangladesh are 96-5 after 18 overs.
