A good length ball on tp of off. Towhid Hridoy looks to punch across but plays off the inner half of the bat back to the bowler.

Wide! Bangs it short but the line is well down the leg side. Towhid Hridoy lets it go.

FOUR! Such a good looking shot! Towhid Hridoy looks well set. Not a good sight for the Proteas. Overpitched on off, Towhid Hridoy leans and plays with a straight bat down past mid off and it races to the fence.

Leg bye! Towhid Hridoy steps across, this is full and on middle and leg. Towhid Hridoy misses his flick and it rolls off the pads to square leg for a single.

Easy single! Bangladesh ae crusing through now! Not taking any risk! A length ball, around off, Mahmudullah nudges it to square leg and gets across.

One again! This is full and on leg, Towhid Hridoy nudges it to square leg and Marco Jansen runs across to keep it down to one. Bangladesh need 31 runs now in 30 balls.

Pitched up in and around the off stump, Towhid Hridoy plays it late and squeezes it past the point region for one.

Fats and a bit full as well around off stump, Mahmudullah presses backi and dabs it away behind the point region for another easy single.

Back of a length and in the channel around off, Towhid Hridoy hops back and manages to angle it away down to third man for one more. These two really putting Bangladesh in pole position here.

Dishses out the slower ball now, bowling it full and outside the off stump, Mahmudullah waits well and drives it away to the left of covers where the fielder makes a sharp stop.

Another golden dot ball! Banged in short over the stumps, Mahmudullah ducks under it.

WIDE! Full and quick, trying to attack the pads but spills it down leg for a wide.

Anrich Nortje is done and these two batters have seen the back of him nicely too. Back of a length and outside off, Mahmudullah tries to run it away down to third man for can't get it through.

On a good length around middle and angling in, Towhid Hridoy nudges it away in front of mid-wicket and picks up a quick single.

 A huge appeal and it's given! Ottneil Baartman goes full and quick at the pads, Mahmudullah walks right across the stumps to flick but misses. The ball deflects off the pads and rolls down to fine leg but the finger goes up. Mahmudullah does review it and Ball Tracking shows that it is missing the leg stump. Bangladesh will feel they could have got four leg byes had the finger not gone up but that's part of the game.

Nails the yorker on middle stump, Mahmudullah manages to jam it out through mid on for a single.

FOUR! Smashed away and Towhid Hridoy is playing a decisive knock here. Hard length outside the off stump, too wide and Hridoy punishes the width by hammering it away through the cover region for a boundary.

Fuller this time and on middle and leg, Towhid Hridoy clips it away in front of square leg for a single.

Gets it perfect this time! Full and right in the blockhole around off stump, Mahmudullah can only jam it back out to the bowler. 20 needed now off 18 balls.

OUT! LBW! Another appeal, not sure you can even call that an appeal but the finger goes up. Towhid Hridoy does review it right away though. Kagiso Rabada comes in from over the stumps and pitches it short of a good length around middle and angles it in. Hridoy misses the clip off the legs and the ball goes of the pads to mid-wicket as the batters scamper through. Nothing on UltraEdge but Ball Tracking shows that it would have clipped the leg stump and it stays OUT on Umpire's call. What a big breakthrough this from Rabaa and Hridoy is absolutely distraught.

On the fuller side and pushed wider of the off stump, Jaker Ali reaches out and tries to squeeze it away but can't beat the man at point to his left.

Another precious dot ball! Back of a length and outside off stump, Jaker Ali plays it nicely off the back foot but hits it straight to the man at point again.

The dots just keep on coming and the pressure is immense on the new batter. KG goes full and straight, Jaker Ali pushes it out to mid on and they look for a single but won't get it.

Risky single but they get it. Full and around off, a bit in the slot too, Jaker Ali can't get under it and smahses it just to the left of mid off before scampering across for one.

Mahmudullah will keep the strike but just 2 runs come off that over for Bangladesh. Pitched up around middle and angling in, Mahmudullah drives it on the front foot but off the inner half of the bat and down to long on for one. 18 needed off the last 2 overs.

Swing and a miss! Full and wide outside the off stump, Mahmudullah skips down the track and looks to loft it over covers but misses it completely.

Just the single, South Africa won't mind that at all. This is bowled short of a length and at the body, Mahmudullah drops it into the vacant space at mid-wicket and wants two but the bowler, Ottneil Baartman is quick to chase it down and keeps it down to a single.

This time, they do get two runs! Fuller in length and angling it into the leg stump, Jaker Ali stays leg side of the ball and miscues the heave through the vacant mid-wicket region and races back for the second run.

Full again and around off stump, Jaker Ali hangs deep in the crease and drags the attempted heave square through the leg side and gets just a single.

That should have been put away and Ottneil Baartman will feel he's got away with one there. A bit slower and floated up on the legs, Mahmudullah comes forward and flicks it away but straight on the bounce to short fine leg. Only a single then.

Jaker Ali mistimes another one but gets it in the gap and picks up a couple of crucial runs. Banged in a bit by Ottneil Baartman and at the batter, Ali gets rushed and just about manages to pull it away through mid-wicket for a brace. Baartman has done well here, just 7 off that over and Bangladesh now need 11 off the final over.

WIDE! Oh, the pressure! Tries to fire it in but spills it down the leg side and even Quinton de Kock spills it but they won't get the additional single.

Quite quick and a bit short around off, Mahmudullah backs away to cut but gets an inside edge past the stumps and past Quinton de Kock as well for a single at short fine leg.

Poor cricket all-round! Keshav Maharaj with a full toss on the stumps, begging to be hit, Jaker Ali goes too hard at it and toe-ends it straight down the ground. The batters push for two but it isn't quite on as the fielder from tidies up but the throw at the bowler's end is wide and they do get the second run.

OUT! CAUGHT! Keshav Maharaj with a body blow to Bangladesh and not only is it a wicket but the new man will be on strike as well with Mahmudullah stranded at the other end. Maharaj flights the ball up and drifts it onto middle and leg, Jaker Ali skips down the pitch and looks to lift it over long on but doesn't quite get to the pitch of the ball and finds the fielder in the deep. Aiden Markram pouches it safely.

NOT OUT! It will be just a leg bye and now 6 runs are needed off 2 balls. Keshav Maharaj spears the ball in full and around off stump. Rishad Hossain goes well across to the off side trying to slog it away but misses and gets struck on the pads. The ball rolls away behind point and they scamper for a leg bye. There was a huge appeal for LBW but it was turned down and South Africa did take the review. Nothing on UltraEdge and the impact is outside the line of off stump.

OUT! CAUGHT! OH, WOW! That is some catch under pressure from the Proteas skipper but Mahmudullah will be livid with himself to have not got that one over the ropes. Keshav Maharaj serves a juciy full toss right on middle stump, Mahmudullah gets under it and lifts it high. The ball goes a mile up but doesn't quite have the legs on it. Markram moves to his left from long on and takes it inches inside the ropes on the run and over his shoulder as well. What a moment and that could be the knockout blow for Bangladesh.

Is that a no ball for height? No, it is fine and SOUTH AFRICA HAVE DONE IT! Keshav Maharaj lets slip of another delivery and ends up serving a very high full toss that angles quickly across the left-hander. The trajectory made it difficult to put away and Taskin Ahmed ends up slicing it away over the cover region for a single. The height is just about fine and South Africa have won by 4 runs and remain unbeaten in Men's T20Is against Bangladesh!
