ODI World Cup: South Africa Wins By 149 Runs Over Bangladesh
Tuesday’s 149-Run Victory Over Bangladesh In Mumbai Saw Run Machine Quinton De Kock Score His Third Century In Five Innings As South Africa Continued Their Aggressive Campaign In The World Cup.
After Amassing The Third-Highest World Cup Total Of 382/5—The First Two Of Which Were Shared By The Dominant Proteas—South Africa Crushed Bangladesh’s Batting Attempt, Dismissing Their Opponents For 233 In 46 Overs
With His Fourth Century In 225 ODIs And First In Six Years, Mahmudullah Riyad Made A Heroic 111 Off 111 Balls, But The Other Bangladeshi Batsmen Performed Horribly On A Pitch That Was Still Favorable For Batting.
With Four Victories From Five Games, South Africa Currently Leads The World Cup, While Bangladesh Lost For The Fourth Time In A Row.
In Terms Of Runs Conceded, It Was Also Bangladesh’s Third-Heaviest World Cup Loss Ever.
De Kock Surpassed Australia’s David Warner (163) And India’s Virat Kohli (For The Most Runs) On His Way To His 20th ODI Century, Which Also Became The Highest Individual Total Of This World Cup.
And As Has Happened A Few Times Recently, South Africa Erupted Into A 144-Run Deficit In The Final 10 Overs, Led By An Unbeaten 34 From David Miller Off 15 Balls.
The Third Wicket Stand Produced 131 Runs As Aiden Markram Batted Smoothly For His 67-Ball 60, Using His Hands Deftly To Generate Seven Boundaries. However, In The 31st Over Off Shakib, An Inside-Out Lofted Smash Found Das At Long On.
Even More Impressive Was The Fourth-Wicket Stand, Which Saw De Kock And His Team Score 142 Runs Off Just 87 Balls. And Klaasen As Bangladesh Were Left With A Mountain To Climb.
