Watch: Shoriful Islam got one to sneak through Reeza Hendricks‘ bat and pad to shatter his middle and off stumps and give Bangladesh their first breakthrough against South Africa at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on October 24.
South Africa won the toss and was elected to bat. 2Aiden Markram will be in charge of South Africa for his second successive season, while Themba Bavuma is still recovering from a gastrointestinal infection he contracted before the final match against England. Lungi Ngidi was also replaced by Lizard Williams. Meanwhile, the feisty Shakib Al Hasan returned to Bangladesh for Twahid Hridoi.
Mustafizur Rahman and Mehdi Hasan Miraz open a bowling alley in Bangladesh. Leeza Hendricks and Quinton de Kock got off to a good start. He made a particularly good impression on de Kock. However, just as the opening partnership began to establish and looked dangerous, Shoriful Her Islam, who appeared first, produced a beautiful performance that eliminated Hendrix.
Sholiful celebrated the wicket with an elaborate dance move just before the striker’s end, and Hendricks hit 12 of 19 balls, but was unable to repeat his previous game’s good form.
Mehidi caught Rassie van der Dussen in the next period to set South Africa back even further, falling from 33-0 to 36-2. South Africa’s score was 99-2 after 20 overs as Aiden Markram and de Kock tried to rebuild the innings.
