South Africa vs Bangladesh
South Africa Coast To Seven-Wicket Win Over Bangladesh
Sep 15, 2007
Hosts South Africa scored a comfortable seven wicket victory over Bangladesh in the final group A game of World Twenty20 in Cape Town. Graeme Smith struck some fierce shots in 41 and Albie Morkel fired two sixes in his 41, before Justin Kemp sealed victory in the 19th over with a six.
Earlier, Bangladesh made an explosive start and reached 50 in the fourth over, but had lost too may wickets then to lose their way. The first 38 runs in the innings came from boundaries, with Aftab Ahmed leading the charge as he made 36 off 14 balls, with five fours and two sixes. However Bangladesh were all out for 144 with three balls left.
South Africa after topping the group, will be happy to find themselves grouped with New Zealand, England and India in Group E, instead of the more unpredictable elements of the other group, which has Australia, Sri Lanka, Pakistan. That is where Bangladesh is going.
