Bangladesh has broken the jinx of not beating South Africa on their soil with a fine all-round display to fashion a commanding 38-run victory in the first of the three-match ODI series, reports bdnews24.com.
Gallant efforts from Shakib Al Hasan (77), Litton Das (50), Yasir Ali (50) and skipper Tamim Iqbal (41) hoisted Bangladesh to an imposing total of 314 for seven after being put in at SuperSport Park, Centurion on Friday.
Man-of-the-match Shakib and Yasir were particularly harsh on Lungi Ngidi (1-75) and Andile Phehlukwayo (1-63) and followed up a 95-run opening partnership with a fluent 82-ball 115-run fourth-wicket stand.
