In the first innings, South Africa applied early pressure on Bangladesh, restricting them to just 28 runs in the powerplay. Despite the slow start, openers Farzana Haque and Rubya Haider managed to put up Bangladesh\u2019s highest opening partnership of the tournament.<\/p>\n
Haider\u2019s patient knock eventually came to an end when she was caught at mid on, handing South Africa their first breakthrough with Chloe Tryon claiming her wicket.<\/p>\n
Nonkululeko Mlaba then trapped Haque LBW to put Bangladesh further on the back foot. However, captain Nigar Sultana Joty and Sharmin Akter (50) combined to rebuild the innings, guiding their side past the 100-run mark in the 30th over.<\/p>\n
But it was Shorna Akter’s quickfire half-century and Ritu Moni\u2019s explosive cameo powered Bangladesh to a competitive total of 232\/6 against South Africa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In the first innings, South Africa applied early pressure on Bangladesh, restricting them to just 28 runs in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":497441,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4101],"tags":[1406,145387,145385,56086,145400,145396,145399,145397,11096,145398,145395,145401,145407,145406,145388,2192,145405,145390,145389,30566,145393,145394,145403,79,145402,145404,145392,145386,145391,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-497440","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cricket","8":"tag-cricket","9":"tag-cricket-breaking-news","10":"tag-cricket-headlines-today","11":"tag-cricket-live-score","12":"tag-cricket-match-highlights-today","13":"tag-cricket-match-live-streaming-score","14":"tag-cricket-match-result-today","15":"tag-cricket-match-today-live","16":"tag-cricket-news","17":"tag-cricket-results-today","18":"tag-cricket-scorecard-live","19":"tag-cricket-series-updates","20":"tag-cricket-world-cup-live-score","21":"tag-cricket-world-cup-news","22":"tag-cricket-world-news","23":"tag-icc","24":"tag-icc-cricket-updates","25":"tag-international-cricket-live-score","26":"tag-international-cricket-news","27":"tag-latest-cricket-news","28":"tag-latest-cricket-scores","29":"tag-live-cricket-match-update","30":"tag-odi-cricket-live-score","31":"tag-sports","32":"tag-t20-cricket-live-score","33":"tag-test-cricket-live-score","34":"tag-today-cricket-live-score","35":"tag-today-cricket-news-update","36":"tag-todays-cricket-match-score","37":"tag-uk","38":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/497440","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=497440"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/497440\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/497441"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=497440"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=497440"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=497440"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
