SA vs BAN highlights T20 World Cup 2021: Nortje, Rabada shine as SA thrash Bangladesh by 6 wickets

Nasum to Dussen: OUT! He wanted to finish it off in this over and in the process ended up skying one. A brilliant catch running backwards by Shoriful, tells you that there is no shortage of effort from Bangladesh's side. SA, however, need only 5 runs to win this mattch handsomely.

Nasum to Bavuma: FOUR! Streaky! Short and outside off, Temba Bavuma hangs back and looks to cut. The ball goes off the outside edge towards third man for a boundary.

Sarkar to Bavuma: FOUR! Mid on was up in the circle and Bavuma was fully aware of that. He used Sarkar's length delivery to just lift it over the in-field and get an easy boundary. South Africa marching along now. 

Nasum to Bavuma: SIX! What a shot from Bavuma. He may be of short stature but that doesn't mean he lacks power. Nasum dragged it short and Bavuma was very quick to transfer his weight to the backfoot and pull it away deep into stands. First six of the South African innings and there's their fifty up. 

Taskin to Bavuma: FOUR! Brilliant from the South African captain. Slightly overpitched from Taskin, perhaps looking for that extra swing but this time Bavuma was up to the task. He drove it on the up but after he had covered the swing with a good stride. 

Taskin to Markram: OUT! Taskin Ahmed gets his second. Aiden Markram is out for a duck. It was a fast delivery which swung away and Markram, trying to drive on the up, gets an outside edge. Bangladesh are not making it easy for South Africa. They are South Africa 33/3, chasing 85 to win.

Mahedi to de Kock: OUT! Mahedi Hasan has the last laugh. He cleans up de Kock after being hit for two fours.  South Africa 28/2, chasing 85 to win

Back-to-back boundaries for de Kock. He has decided to take the attack to Bangladesh off-spinner Mahedi Hassan and it has worked so far. 

Shoriful to Dussen: FOUR! Silky touch there from Dussen. Shoriful just strays down the pads and enough for Dussen to just use his wonderful wrists to work it pas the inner field and into the boundary. 

Taskin to de Kock: FOUR! Pulled away with disdain. You can't bowl there to de Kock. Taskin tried to mix it up with a bouncer but he didn't get the line right and de Kock smacked it past fine leg to collect his maiden four. This should take some of the pressure off. SA 16/1 after 3 overs. 

That's a very good over to by left-arm seamer Shoriful Islam to back up Taskin's start. Only 4 runs from it. Signs that Bangladesh are not gonna go down that easily. South Africa will have to work hard for their 85 runs.  

Taskin to Hendricks: OUT! Taskin Ahmed strikes in his first over to Bangladesh a glimmer of hope. South Africa 6/1, chasing 85 to win. That came back a long way after pitching outside off and Hendricks missed it altogether. No hesitation in the umpire's mind and de Kock too tells Hendricks that it's not worth a review. 

Taskin to Hendricks: FOUR! Overpitched from Taskin and Hendricks just pushes it through the covers. It wasn't even a push perhaps. Just an extended defensive shot and it races away to the fence. 

Taskin Ahmed has the new ball for Bangladesh. He needs to strike early and perhaps more than once to give Bangladesh a chance. Quinton de Kock and Reeza Hendricks are opening the batting for South Africa. 

Nortje finishes it off with a double strike. What an irony. He got Mahedi in and then Nasum Ahmed was bit wicket, the fifth duck in this innings and the third golden duck. Bangladesh have been bowled out for 84 in 18.2 overs. Nortje finishes with figures of 3/8. 

Shamsi to Mahedi: SIX! WOW where did that come from? Mahedi comes down the track, makes some room and smashes it over covers for a six. More of that please but is it too little too late? Bangladesh 83/8 after 173 overs. 

RUN OUT! South Africa can do no wrong today. Temba Bavuma gets the direct hit to send back Taskin. Bangladesh 77/8 after 17.2 overs

Shamsi to Shamim: OUT! Shamim the man has to take the long walk back. Shamsi has his second of the day. Tosses it up, outside off. Shamim Hossain charges down the track and heaves it to long on. Gets height but not the distance on it. Keshav Maharaj settles himself under it and pouches the catch easily. He doesn't drop those. Another sensless dismissal and Bangladesh dig themselves into a bigger hole.

Two no balls in the over from Kagiso but Bangladesh fail to take advantage of any of it. End of a brilliant spell from the right-arm seamer. He finishes with figures of 20 for 3. 

Maharaj to Mahedi: FOUR! That almost snuck through but Mahedi got some bat on it at the last moment and to good effect. It had enough to reach the third-man boundary, only the third of Bangladesh's innings, speaks volumes about their struggles in this innings. 

OUT! Tabraiz Shamsi strikes in his first over. Litton Das' fighting innings comes to an end. Bangladesh lose a review as well! Nicely tossed up, on middle, turning in sharply. Liton Das looks to flick but he misses and gets hit on his front pad. Tabraiz Shamsi puts in an appeal and the umpire raises his finger in no time. Das opts for a review but the Ball Tracker indicates three reds and it is OUT! Das takes his walk back to the pavilion. Bangladesh 45/6 after 11.3 overs.

Among all the bouncer barrage, left-arm spinner Maharaj has quietly and effectively gone about his business. He bowls another good over that costs only 3. Maharaj has given away only 15 runs in his 3 overs.  

South Africa have gone hard at Bangladesh with their three-pronged pace attack. And so far, there has been no answer to the barrage of short-pitched stuff dished out at them by Rabada, Norjte and Pretorius. Bangladesh 40/5 at the halfway mark. 

Pretorius to Afif: OUT! TIMBER! Two in two for South Africa and really not sure what Afif tried to play there! It is his first ball. He just steps down the track, it is bowled full and on middle, Afif swings across the line but misses and the stumps are shattered. All falling apart for Bangladesh.

Nortje to Mahmudullah: OUT! Another one bites the dust, it's the Bangladesh captain this time. Once again the extra bounce brings about the downfall of a Bangladeshi batter. It hit the thumb of Mahmudullah and lobbed up in the air for a simple catch to the point fielder. Norjte now joins the party. Bangladesh 34/4
