South Africa vs Bangladesh, ODI, 23rd Match, October 24, 2023 - Match Info

South Africa have enjoyed the conditions at the Wankhede, registering two comprehensive wins back to back after the stunning defeat to Netherlands. From here, they go to Chennai where they take on Pakistan in conditions that might be very different, so that could be a tougher challenge. For now, they've gone to second on the table. On the other hand, Bangladesh drop to the very bottom. Going to be hard to come back from here. So that's all from our coverage from this one. Hope you enjoyed it. Until tomorrow, it's goodbye.

Markram: Was another good day. Tough to grind it out towards the end, but all in all it was a great day. Not necessarily (death bowling a problem?). Guys have worked quite hard at the death. Especially against Mahmudullah who played fantastically, we thought it was an opportunity to execute our death bowling plans. What Quinny did tonight was obviously superb. And then to have a guy like Klaasen who walks in and smashes it. It's quite different how each person in the top 6 plays. It's something you can't take for granted and we won't do that. Temba improved quite a lot coming into this game, just wasn't 100 percent. Hopefully he can be ready for Pakistan.

Shakib: We bowled first 25 overs well. We got three wickets, they were going at about 5 an over. From there they kicked on. Quinton batted really well, and the way Klaasen finished was something we didn't have any answer to. On a ground like this it can happen but we should've bowled better. Lost the game in the last 10 overs. Has been lot of talking about whether Mushfiq and Mahmudullah should bat higher. But the role they have, they're doing very well. Our top four batters need to do well. Long way to go in this tournament, anything can happen. Lot to be learnt, and lot to play for. Will love to finish 5-6 if not in the semis. We're not playing like a team that can do it, but hope to finish stronger.

Quinton de Kock | Player of the Match: To be honest, I am a bit more tired than satisfied (after a spectacular knock), I think we all played really well and everyone did their part and it was nice to get those two points on the board. Not just too sure, it is just happening I guess (speaking about his conversion rate in India). I was a little nervous this morning, but it was a great day and I had a bit of fun and it's great to get another 2 points. He (Klaasen) has been truly amazing, I also need some of the juice that he is having. He has just been special, not just for us but for everyone around the world. He is really taking it by storm and I am very happy for him.

22:07 Local Time, 16:37 GMT, 22:07 IST: So another crushing win for South Africa at the Wankhede. The ball just seems to do a bit more under lights over here, and their bowlers exploited it beautifully once again as they did against England. Marco Jansen was superb again in his opening spell, troubling batters with pace, movement and extra bounce. Lizaad Williams, coming in for Ngidi, also found movement. They had Bangladesh at 31/3 inside 8 overs, and then Rabada and Coetzee took over the mantle of wicket-taking as they generally do. Even in the 15th over, the ball was nipping around, as evidenced by a beauty from Rabada to trap Litton Das LBW. Of course, the match was over by then. Bangladesh did have something to cheer about towards the end as Mahmudullah played beautifully to smash a hundred while the tail wagged in support. Still, they fell short by 149 runs - a reflection of the challenge they were facing after being hammered by de Kock and Klaasen earlier. South Africa smashed 143 in the last 10 overs against England, and 144 in the last 10 overs today. Bangladesh weren't coming back from that.
