NEW DELHI: Quinton de Kock showcased his brilliance with a stunning 174, marking his third century of the World Cup, as South Africa dominated Bangladesh in a match held in Mumbai on Tuesday.
The Proteas faced an early setback, finding themselves at 36-2 after winning the toss. However, they regrouped vigorously, amassing 144 runs in the last 10 overs to conclude their innings at 382-5, punctuated by a flurry of boundaries.
Bangladesh, in response, never seemed capable of chasing down this imposing total, plummeting to 58-5. Their eventual total of 233 owed much to Mahmudullah's resilient 111 off as many balls. By the time the 37-year-old veteran notched up his fourth one-day international century in 195 innings, the match had long lost its competitiveness, with no other Bangladesh batsman managing more than 22 runs.
