T20 tour game South Africa crush BCB XI by 8 wickets

T20 tour game South Africa crush BCB XI by 8 wickets: South Africa crush a beleaguered Bangladesh Cricket Board XI by 8 wickets in a T20 tour game and have sent out a tough message to the Bangladesh cricket team who will be playing the visitors soon.

David Wiese took three wickets while Kyle Abbott, Aaron Phangiso, JP Duminy, Kagiso Rabada and legspinner Eddie Leie also justified his place in the side. South Africa’s T20 captain Faf du Plessis used up nine bowlers, which was clearly an attempt to give everyone a chance but the bamboozled home side were bowled out for only 99 runs in 18 overs.

The South Africans were flawless and unerring in their line and length, getting five batsmen bowled and one out lbw. Chasing BCB XI’s paltry target of 100, the Proteas made short work of the chase as Quinton de Kock and AB de Villiers added 64 before both retired at the end of the seventh over. de Kock went off after making 36 while de Villiers batted for 25. Duminy and David Miller made 17 and 20 not out respectively, ending the chase in 12 overs.

The resounding and comprehensive victory has sent out a warning for the Bangladeshi main side, and we will have to wait and see if the Bangladeshi’s get unnerved or fight back.
