South Africa defeated Bangladesh by four runs

In their third encounter of the T20 World Cup 2024, South Africa defeated Bangladesh by four runs on Monday at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York. Similar to South Africa, Bangladesh's innings was disastrously overrun by the Proteas pacers, who sent all of their batsmen back to the pavilion: Tanzid Hasan (9 off 9), Najmul Hossain Shanto (14 off 23), Liton Das (9 off 13), and Shakib Al Hasan (3 off 4). Their side was reduced to 50-4 in 9.5 overs.

The faltering batting order saw some consistency because to the 44-run combination between Towhid Hridoy and seasoned all-rounder Mahmudullah. Despite playing brilliantly (37 off 34) in the challenging circumstances of New York, Hridoy was dismissed by Kagiso Rabada. Mahmudullah persisted on the field until the very last over, even after losing his partner, however he was unable to lead his team to victory as Bangladesh finished their innings at 109-7.
