Bangladesh, who had claimed a historic victory in the first ODI against the Proteas, had won the toss and elected to bat in the second clash at the Wanderers in Johannesburg on Sunday, 20 March.

However, this time around the Proteas dominated from the get-go, with Bangladesh reduced to 34-5 early on as the South African fast bowlers – led by Kagiso Rabada – made important inroads.
Although Bangladesh did show some real fighting spirit, with Afif Hossain scoring an impressive 72, Rabada’s final figures of 5-39 proved to be the highlight of a largely dominant bowling performance.
With the visitors finishing on 194-9, Quinton de Kock got the Proteas off to flyer, scoring 62 off just 41 balls in a stunning innings that included two sixes and nine boundaries.
It laid the foundation for victory, while a well-played half-century from Kyle Verreynne carried South Africa to a comfortable bounce-back win that draws the three-match series 1-1.
