Mushfiqur Rahim's wicket [X.Com]

After the first innings assault by the Proteas batter, Bangladesh batter have failed to respond in style. Chasing a mammoth 383 to win the contest and stay alive in World Cup, the Tigers have crumbled under the scoreboard pressure.

Wickets have tumbled like a pack of cards and the latest victim to join the pavilion is Mushfiqur Rahim. The Bangladesh keeper's pain-staking innings of 8 ended when Gerald Coetzee bowled a short and wide delivery and the batter couldn't clear the field.

In a do-or-die match, Bangladesh needed a moment of magic from their most experienced player, but Mushfiqur fell after playing 17 deliveries. The incident occurred in the 12th over, when Coetzee bowled it short and asked Mushfiqur to go for the shot.

The keeper-batter threw his bat at it but had no power at all as he found the fielder at third man. There was a sense of disbelief as the Bangladesh batter looked dejected after the wicket.

Talking about the contest, South Africa posted yet another big score, courtesy of Quinton de Kock's third century of the tournament. Moreover, Heinrich Klaasen played his part to perfection, scoring a ballistic 90 off 49 deliveries.

At the moment, Bangladesh has already lost 4 wickets, and has been pushed on the brink of defeat.
