LIVE – Bangladesh v South Africa – Zimbabwe Twenty20 Triangular Series (5th Match) – Match Update – Tigers polish off Proteas’ top order by first 10 overs
South Africa got off to a faltering start against Bangladesh during the 5th match of the ongoing Zimbabwe Twenty20 Triangular Series at the Harare Sports Club today on June 22, and after having won the toss, lost their entire top order early into
the game, finding themselves at 51 for 3 by the 10th over.

June 24 at the same venue.
