Bangladesh vs. South Africa, 2nd T20I: Highlights, Scorecard and Report

South Africa wrapped up victory in the second T20 international with Bangladesh to secure a 2-0 series win.

As in the first game, South Africa elected to bat first in Mirpur and posted a competitive 169 for four from their 20 overs.

Bangladesh were well placed in their run chase at one stage, but they suffered a mid-innings collapse and came up 32 short of their victory target.

South Africa made a blistering start to their innings, with AB de Villiers and Quinton de Kock treating the bowling with disdain.

The pair put on 95 for the first wicket at a shade over nine an over and South Africa looked poised to post a huge score.

However, De Kock fell to Arafat Sunny and JP Duminy departed in the following over to Nasir Hossain.

Hossain struck again one ball later, with De Villiers caught behind by Mushfiqur Rahim.

The departure of De Villiers checked the momentum of the South Africa innings.

Faf du Plessis and David Miller struggled to get the spinners away and it was only a blazing 19 runs off six balls from Rilee Rossouw that fired South Africa to 169 from their 20 overs.

SA gets 169 - the last couple of overs may have taken the game beyond Bangla... #banvsa

In reply, Tamim Iqbal and Soumya Sarkar got Bangladesh off to a rapid start. The openers put on 46 in 5.4 overs, but Wayne Parnell claimed the wicket of Tamim to halt the charge.

Eddie Leie was handed his South Africa T20 debut and he claimed the key wicket of Soumya in the following over, with De Kock completing a good stumping.

Leie’s debut got better in his third over, as he prised out Sabbir Rahman and Mushfiqur in consecutive balls. He did not complete the hat-trick, but his wickets knocked the stuffing out of Bangladesh’s chase.

Mashrafe Mortaza played some big shots to raise hope of a shock Bangladesh win, but he was bowled by Parnell and South Africa closed out the win.
