8.29pm Bangladesh end on 113. South Africa will take it, but surely it should have been much lesser. Bangladesh started slowly getting only 23 runs in the powerplay. They could not get the boundaries away but ran superbly. Converted ones into twos at every given chance, put pressure on the fielders. And the South Africa fielders faltered under pressure. There were a couple of dropped chances and multiple cases of overthrows. Can they chase this total down? Join Suds in a bit to find out.
Nonkululeko Mlaba: It was really enjoyable. I was enjoying the crowd, playing at home, it was great. Just wanted to be consistent. It's a good score to chase. 114 is not a big score. The surface is quick it is good for pace bowlers.

Ismail to Nahida Akter, FOUR, Good strike and Nahida gets a four that takes Bangladesh to 113! Runs on the board in a crucial encounter. How crucial will that be? Banged in short, she dances down the track and hacks the pull in the gap between long on and deep midwicket.
Mo: "South Africa dont need the boundary riders, Bangla have only hit 6 boundaries all innings, get everyone in fhe circle and save the 1's"

Ismail to Nahida Akter, 1 run, Slower length ball on the pads of Nahida, who clips it to the right of short fine leg, who makes a meal of it and that allows the batters to take two. There is a short run as well, though! That's poor cricket.

Khaka to Fargana Hoque, 2 leg byes, These two are running like anything, but what are the SA fielders doing? Full-length ball on the pads of the batter that misses the flick and strikes her on the pads and rolls to square leg. And guess what, they take two. The fielder was holding on to the ball for eternity.

Kapp to Nigar Sultana, OUT, Excellent slower ball and Sultana ends up dragging it back onto her stumps! Fuller-length just out side off, she is early into her sweep and can only find her stumps in a mess at the end of it. Kapp gets her second wicket of the night and has a huge smile on her face.
