South Africa claim a nervy four-run win over Bangladesh that puts them on the brink of a spot in the T20 World Cup Super 8s.
Heinrich Klaasen hit a vital 46 as South Africa claimed a nervy four-run victory over Bangladesh that put them on the brink of securing a place in the T20 World Cup Super 8s.
Bangladesh made a decent fist of the run chase and at 94-4 with three overs remaining were probably slight favourites. Offered another chance with a full toss from Maharaj off the final ball of the match, Taskin Ahmed could only slice it for a single. Tanzim trapped Reeza Hendricks lbw for a golden duck and the decibel level climbed again when Quinton de Kock misjudged a pull and was bowled by the Bangladesh seamer.
Klaasen’s superb knock came to an end when he tried to heave Taskin into the stands, only for the ball to skid through and clatter into middle stump before Miller perished to spinner Rishad Hossain.
