The South African team outplayed their opponent Bangladesh to win by a huge 149-run margin. Quinton De Kock was the star with the bat as he scored 174 runs to help his team post a huge 382 on the board. With the virtue of this win South Africa is now 2nd in the points table.

Shakib AL Hasan was back in the XI for the Bangladeshi team replacing Towhid Hridoy. The 36-year-old wasn’t absent during his team’s last game in Pune versus India. Lizaad Williams came in for Lungi Ngidi who wasn’t fit to make it to the team.

Temba Bavuma was still absent so Aiden Markram continued to lead the side. The toss went the way of South Africa who had no hesitation in batting first. Mumbai had already seen South Africa beat England by 229 runs after scoring 399 in their last game.
