5 Talking Points of the Bangladesh v South Africa 2nd ODI

5 Talking Points of the Bangladesh v South Africa 2nd ODI: After losing the first ODI in a rather tormenting fashion, Bangladesh did manage to comeback strongly in the second ODI against South Africa and even proved out to be the better of the two teams at the end. It was rather a demoralising batting performance from the Proteas, who opted to bat first after winning the toss. The batting collapse led South Africa to get bowled out at the score of just 162 runs on the board.

In reply, Bangladesh cruised onto the target and ensured a swift and emphatic victory to keep in run for the series win. Bangladesh won the match by a whooping margin of 7 wickets with over 22 overs to spare.

To bring things into a nutshell, 5 Talking Points of the Bangladesh v South Africa 2nd ODI:

1. Magically destructive pace bowling:

For once again, Bangladesh showed up their pivotal strength in pace bowling in the match. The 19-year old pacer, Mustafizur Rahman used his variations exceptionally well while maintaining a decent line and length. He stood to be the pick of the bowlers for Bangladeshis and took 3 wickets by conceding 38 runs in his 10 overs. On the other hand, Mashrafe Mortaza and Rubel Hossain also bowled charmingly well and did not provide any room whatsoever for the South African batsmen. Mortaza bagged a single wicket in his 5 overs by conceding 17 runs while Rubel bagged 2/34 in his quota of 10 overs.
