That is all from the newsroom too! Have a great day!

Shakib Al Hasan is the Bangladesh performer of the match for his 26 runs and two wickets. Mashrafe Mortaza says, “Bowlers bowled petty well. We would have done well to restrict them to 130, but we couldn’t build partnerships as a batting order. The wicket looked a bit slow, it was a plan [to start with the spinners] and all the bowlers bowled well, I think. I think batters played too many shots, but we can fix it, it’s not too much of a worry, the way they are batting. We’ll be back in the next match.” Faf du Plessis is the Man of the Match. He says, “Wicket was tough, specially with the new ball, spinners were bowling well, ball wasn’t bouncing much. Took time to get used to the conditions, but once we got in we started playing well. Duminy bowled well today, the wicket was conducive to the spinners, and he put them under real pressure. It’s good when you have someone like JP who can chip in with the ball as well. It’s nice to be batting again. We’ve been off for two months or so, so it’s nice to play competitive cricket again. It’s a knock that you’d like to play as a batter. Not the easiest wicket, not a flat T20 wicket, had to graft a lot. Ball was spinning and staying low, we just needed a partnership, and Rilee played really well. That was the match-winning partnership.”

Hello and welcome to CricketCountry’s coverage of the first Twenty20 International (ODI) between Bangladesh and South Africa at Mirpur. After a dream run against Pakistan and India at home, Bangladesh will face the toughest task of this season when they will take on the Proteas at home. The series is commencing with a two-match T20 International (T20I) series, with the first game scheduled to be played at Mirpur on Sunday. READ: Bangladesh await their biggest test at home against South Africa

Bangladesh’s main weapon in the series will be their army of spinners. They know South Africa’s vulnerability towards playing spin, so they want to expose that. Recalling off-spinner Sohag Gazi to the squad, whose action is now cleared by International Cricket Council (ICC), is a clear indication that there will be a stern ‘spin test’ for the South African batsmen during this tour.

Mashrafe Mortaza currently has a settled team. He has a quality bowling attack which is very suitable for the Mirpur wicket. It will be interesting to see how young Mustafizur Rahman bowls against the likes of AB de Villiers, Faf du Plessis and others.

Squads:

Bangladesh: Mashrafe Mortaza (c), Litton Das (wk), Shakib Al Hasan, Arafat Sunny, Jubair Hossain, Mushfiqur Rahim, Mustafizur Rahman, Nasir Hossain, Rony Talukdar, Rubel Hossain, Sabbir Rahman, Sohag Gazi, Soumya Sarkar, Tamim Iqbal.

South Africa: Faf du Plessis (c), Quinton de Kock (wk), Kyle Abbott, AB de Villiers, JP Duminy, Beuran Hendricks, Eddie Leie, David Miller, Chris Morris, Wayne Parnell, Aaron Phangiso, Kagiso Rabada, Rilee Rossouw, David Wiese.
