Live Cricket Score: South Africa vs Bangladesh, Match 5, ICC World Cup 2019

Never has Mustafizur Rahman has picked three wickets in an ODI and lost. Today was no different. After having posted their biggest total in 50 overs, Bangladesh were clinical with their bowling to restrict South Africa to 309/8. The spinners restricted the scoring in the middle overs, the pacers picked wickets at crucial intervals and never allowed the South African batsmen to dominate. Quinton de Kock, Aiden Markram, Faf du Plessis, Rassie van der Dussen and JP Duminy all got starts but couldn't press for anything bigger. More importantly, Bangladesh didn't allow them to get ahead in the contest even as South Africa managed two good stands to begin their chase. Eventually, Bangladesh began their world cup campaign with a 21-run win. South Africa were handed their second loss on the bounce while Bangladesh became the first Asian team to register a win in this world cup. Gloomy but early days for Faf du Plessis's men.

Over? JP Duminy looking to pull Mustafizur Rahman, plays on. With 44 needed off 17 balls, it seems like the contest is almost done.

For now though, for some reason, South African fans are still singing and dancing in the stands
