Overview

• South Africa reached 235/7 chasing 233, with Nadine de Klerk unbeaten on 37 and finishing with a four and a six to seal victory with three balls left.
• From 78/5, Chloe Tryon (62, player of the match) and Marizanne Kapp put on an 85-run sixth-wicket stand to turn the chase around.
• Bangladesh posted 232/6 built on Sharmin Akhter’s fifty and 18-year-old Shorna Akter’s 51 off 35, the fastest WODI half-century by a Bangladeshi.
• Dropped chances of Tryon and de Klerk — including Shorna’s miss in the penultimate over — proved costly in a contest decided by late-overs pressure.
• South Africa collected a third straight win to sit on six points in third place, while Bangladesh remain sixth on two points and now face Australia as the Proteas travel to play Sri Lanka.
