SA in big win over Bangladesh

A magnificent, tournament-high 174 from Quinton de Kock, his third century in five games, and a rapid 90 from Heinrich Klaasen helped South Africa post a massive total of 382-5 before sealing an emphatic victory by 149-runs in their World Cup group match against Bangladesh at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai yesterday.

Marco Jansen (2-39) led the bowling charge with two early wickets as Bangladesh quickly slumped to 58-5 before being dismissed for just 233 in reply. 

Only Mahmadullah Riaz fought back with a brave but irrelevant century (111 from 111 balls) while opener Litton Das ground his way to a sedentary 22 from 44 balls.

Gerald Cotzee (3-62) was among the wickets once again and Lizaad Williams (2-56) impressed on his first appearance in the tournament as replacement for Lungi Ngidi who was resting a sore knee. —SuperSport
