Bangladesh batters left shattered for 84 on Sunday at Abu Dhabi in their fourth Super 12s match of the ongoing T20 World Cup against South Africa.
Four Bangladeshi batters— Soumya Sarkar, Mushfiqur Rahim, Afif Hossain and Nasum Ahmed— each suffered a duck and three of them fell for a golden duck.
While going to 35 from 22, Bangladesh lost five wickets— three to Kagiso Rabada inside five balls.
Rabada led the terrific bowling display from South Africa on a pitch that had something in it for the quicks.
Rabada conceded 20 runs to take three wickets in four overs, Anrich Nortje also bagged three wickets conceding eight runs in 3.3 overs.
Tabraiz Shamsi, the left-arm unorthodox spinner, bagged two wickets as well.
For Bangladesh, Mahedi Hasan was the best batter scoring 27 off 25 balls while Liton Das scored 24.
Eventually, Bangladesh tumbled for 84 all out in 18.2 overs. They never looked able to soak up the initial pressure and come up with something challenging for the Proteas.
It was the third-lowest total by any team against South Africa in the T20 World Cups.
With this lean display, Bangladesh became the first ICC full member nation to be bowled out under 100 thrice in a calendar year.
ladesh have lost three matches they have played before this one, and they have no real chance to qualify for the semifinals even if they win this match and the next match against Australia.
