South Africa vs Bangladesh Highlights, T20 World Cup 2021: South Africa beat Bangladesh by 6 wickets

Ya it was a good day for us. Obviously the conditions were good for the pacers. Good effort with the ball, then clinical with the bat I would say. Excites us to have KG and Nortje bowling in such conditions, reminds us of playing at home. Blessed to have both of them in our side. One guy is touching 150, the other guy has all the skills and bowls high-speeds too. We wanted to get the score in a good time. It was tricky because it was still nipping around when I went in. Big game. England... we need to play our best cricket. They have had the better of us of late. We would like to make amends.

I think the wicket was pretty good to bowl first up. We didn't apply ourselves, poor batting display from us. Taskin has been bowling really well. That's why thought of one between Taskin and Fizzy. We went ahead with Taskin because he has been bowling well. Obviously frustrated, but we were close to winning two games. Could have been a different story had we won those games.

The wicket obviously favoured the seamers and I am just glad that today was my day. Every time we had the opportunity to practice, we try and implement whatever could work for us. We always train hard and today it paid off. It's nice to see some swing again especially in the T20 format. But having played a few IPL games here, we have seen quite a bit of movement especially with the new ball. It wasn't a surprise that this wicket did that because it's been doing that at times for quite a period. We have played one game in Dubai, but from what I understand, definitely it looks like there's a bit of bounce here. Some balls skid through, it's a bit two-paced and there's some good pace, some balls just take off. To me it seems like it's the quickest. He (Nortje) has been in form for a long time now. He's just riding the wave and I am so happy for him. He works extremely hard and his hard work is paying off. It's great to be bowling with him.

South Africa peaking nicely for England face-off. Rabada was exceptional with the new ball, Shamsi again underlined his top-dog status and Nortje blew the tail away. Without Shakib, Bangladesh looked out of their depth though they showed initial fight with the ball

Bangladesh came into this tournament high on confidence beating Aus and NZ at home. They have the team to do well in these conditions. Surprised to see them underperform so much. Meanwhile tight tussle between SA and AUS for the no.2 spot.
