Bangladesh vs South Africa
Super 8, Match 10, SA vs BAN: Bangladesh beat South Africa by 67 runs
Apr 07, 2007
Bangladesh outplayed the mighty South Africa and notched up their third victory of the World Cup, and their first of the Super Eight stage at Guyana on Saturday.
Set 252 for victory, the Worlds top-ranked side caved in quite inexplicably and lost the match by 67 runs as Bangladesh, after beating India earlier in the group-opener, once again lived up to their reputation of being the giant killers. Bangladesh recorded their first win against South Africa as they managed to skittle their famed rivals for 184 in 48.3 overs. Reported Earlier: Bangladesh surprised the Africans with a late fight back led by youngster M Ashraful who literary toyed around with an experienced South African bowling line up as he scored a brilliant 87 from just 83 balls. He was finally dismissed by Nel who led the African attack with a 5 wicket haul.
Bangladesh scored an inspiring 251 to take the challenge to the opposition camp.Earlier, after M Rahim was run out by Kemp, Bangladesh were struggling to reach a defendable total before Asraful and Mortaza started turning things around. After a brilliant spell of fast bowling by Andre Nel and Pollock, Bangladesh survived the middle over scare thanks to a spirited fight back by M Ashraful and Aftab Ahmed Reported Earlier: South African captain Graeme Smith won the toss in their crucial World Cup Super Eights match in Georgetown.Smith elected to field against an unpredictable Bangladeshi team.
Bangladesh were at their most confident in their five-wicket win over India in a Group B match in Port-of-Spain, Trinidad on March 17. That shock reverse led to the 1983 champions' first-round elimination. South Africa team: Graeme Smith (Captain), A.B. de Villiers, Jacques Kallis, Herschelle Gibbs, Ashwell Prince, Justin Kemp, Mark Boucher, Shaun Pollock, Andre Nel, Charl Langeveldt, Makhaya Ntini
Bangladesh team: Javed Omar, Tamim Iqbal, Habibul Bashar (Captain), Aftab Ahmed, Saqibul Hasan, Mohammad Ashraful, Mushfiqur Rahim, Mohammad Rafique, Mashrafee Mortaza, Abdur Razzak, Syed Rasel.

Super 8, Match 10, SA vs BAN: Young and confident Bangladesh worry Smith
Apr 07, 2007
Bangladesh's youthful confidence has given South African captain Graeme Smith cause for concern ahead of their World Cup Super Eights match in Georgetown on Saturday.
"If you give them a chance they will pounce on it," Smith told a news conference on Friday. "You've got to start well against them and put them on the back foot as early as you can. "If you give them a sniff they've got players who have, under (coach) Dav Whatmore, learnt how to win games. "They're young, and they don't think about the situations that they're in. They play with that sort of freedom."
Bangladesh were at their most confident in their five-wicket win over India in a Group B match in Port-of-Spain, Trinidad on March 17. That shock reverse led to the 1983 champions' first-round elimination. Since then they have lost momentum and they were beaten by 10 wickets and nine wickets by Australia and New Zealand respectively in their last two matches. Bangladesh captain Habibul Bashar hoped his men would bounce back against the South Africans, who like Australia and New Zealand, are also among the favourites to win the tournament. South Africa team (from): G Smith (Captain), J Kallis, L Bosman, M Boucher, AB de Villiers, H Gibbs, A Hall, J Kemp, C Langeveldt, A Nel, M Ntini, R Peterson, S Pollock, A Prince, R Telemachus.
Bangladesh team (from): Habibul Bashar (Captain), Tamim Iqbal, Aftab Ahmed, Saqibul Hasan, Mohammad Ashraful, Mushfiqur Rahim, Mohammad Rafique, Abdur Razzak, Mashrafe Mortaza, Shahadat Hossain, Syed Rasel, Javed Omar.
