After a start delayed due to rain, the 1st ODI between South Africa and Bangladesh finally got started.

No doubt they're happy to have lost the toss now as debutant fast bowler Kagiso Rabada has got them off to a wonderful start, taking a hat trick in his 2nd over
including the valuable wicket of Mahmudullah.

Mashrafe made a huge error in electing to Bat on a rain affected Pitch  :

Well South Africa will win this game no doubt about it. I don't expect South Africa to bow down like the Indians or Pakistanis on Bangladeshi soil. Good start from the South Africans so far.

100 -2 after 20

Whoops. Series all tied up at 1-1 now after Bangladesh convincingly beat up on South Africa in the second ODI. This was Bangladesh's biggest margin of victory against a Test team in terms of balls remaining.

It was South Africa's lowest batting first in an ODI since November 2009, when they were bowled out for 119 by England.

South Africa's batsmen were strangled by both seam and spin on a slow surface.....

That was a Thumping.

Decider on Wednesday .

I wasn't able to watch the game. It seems like I chose a good one to miss.

I sure hope that we can bounce back to take the series on Wednesday. I guess they'll bring back Morkel to strengthen the bowling but it sounds like it was the batsmen that let us down today and they really don't have too much in reserve there with AB de Villiers back home awaiting the birth of his first child. 

Looks lke Banglas are evolving to be a better side.
They have been the only ones to be consistent in and after the world cup too.Defeating 3 very good opponents,in fact 2 giants is no big joke.
Either way feeling happy to see the emergence of banglas,they have been the most underrated all through these years.
