RSA VS BAN - 22nd Match, Super 12 Group 2, ICC Mens T20 World Cup 2022

Looks like we'll not have the feed for the presentations of the #SAvBAN match with the second day of the double-header about to start. For the record, Rilee Rossouw is the player of the match for his 109. So, we're done with the first game at the SCG. Change tabs and do enjoy all the action as India bat shortly. For now, cheers and bye..

17:40 Local Time, 06:40 GMT, 12:10 IST: It was always going to be one-sided after Rossouw and de Kock teed off at the start of the day. Bavuma's early loss turned out to be a blessing in disguise as the two southpaws smashed the Bangladeshi bowlers to all parts of the SCG. They didn't have a clue, the 22-minute rain break didn't help them one bit and they were left gasping for breath, as thye two batters smashed them all over the park. The last 5 overs came as a slight breather, but they were still left to chase down 206. They needed a big start, Soumya Sarkar promised one with a 17-run opening over off Kagiso Rabada, but that was as good as it got. Anrich Nortje's pace was too hot to handle and Shamsi helped himself to some confidence boosting wickets. Only 4 batters got to double digits and none could top Litton Das's 34. Presentations coming up in a while..

Nortje to Taskin Ahmed, no run, that's a quick boucer, at 145 kmph, too fat and too quick for Taskin as he gets late on the pull, watches it whistle through to the keeper
