Earlier on winning the toss, the Proteas chose to bat first and were given a commendable start by openers RE Levi and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/HM-Amla-c1557 as the duo clobbered 70 runs in the first-wicket partnership.
Levi was then caught and bowled by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ziaur-Rahman-c98624, becoming the first wicket of the day, while his opening partner steadfast and bolstered a well tamed innings of 88 runs, which earned him the Player of the Match award at the end of the game.
South Africa’s middle-order chipped in as they kept pressure on the fielding side by keeping the scoreboard ticking, which ultimately left the bowlers battered and out of ideas.
Failing to contain South Africa on a total below 200, cost Bangladesh dearly as it meant that they would now have to score 210 runs in order to win the match, a task easier said than done in front of the likes of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/JA-Morkel-c1613.

This was just not star batsman http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Nasir-Hossain-c77146’s day as he failed to score a run before finding his way off the field, leaving his side standing with just 49 runs on the board.
With four wickets down, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bangladesh-c747 were heading for a train wreck, while the South Africans were visualizing a clear victory.
