Mahmudullah’s boisterous 46 now not out from 33 balls pushed Bangladesh previous their preceding easiest one-day worldwide total of 329 for six towards Pakistan in 2015.
Attempting to turn out to be the first team to correctly chase extra than 330 to win a World Cup match, South Africa’s bid to rewrite the file books fell brief at 309 for eight.

Du Plessis acquired to fifty off forty five balls, achieving the milestone with a six off Mosaddek Hossain.

David Miller’s lofted shot used to be dropped by way of Soumya Sarkar at mid-off and he escaped again when Mahmudullah could not take hold of his mistimed drive.
However, Miller’s good fortune ran out when he used to be caught through Mehidy off Mustafizur for 38 to leave the Proteas in disarray.
The required run-rate used to be at 10 an over by the time Rassie van der Dussen’s agricultural swipe noticed him bowled by way of Mohammad Saifuddin for 41.
