CLOSE OF PLAY

Bangladesh who were hammered in their last two matches have pulled off an amazing victory over the Proteas. A sizzling batting display, tight bowling and electrifying fielding have helped them stage a big upset which could be a blessing in disguise for some of the other teams. The Bangladeshi left arm spinning trio choked the South African batters. An all round effort with the batsmen applying themselves and the bowlers getting stuck into the opposition batsmen has left the South Africans in a state of shock as to what went wrong but it was quite evident that they were outplayed. Razzaq was the pick of the bowlers with 3 wickets while Gibbs made a fighting fifty.This hiccup has now suddenly generated a lot of interest in this tournament. Mohammad Ashraful was named the Man of the Match for the trashing he handed out to the South African bowlers and helped his team to post a total in excess of 250 runs.
