As the second innings of the 23rd match in the 2023 World Cup got underway, Bangladesh faced a formidable target of 383 runs set by South Africa. The Tigers knew the importance of a strong start with their batting lineup. Liton Das and Tanzid Hasan, the openers, displayed a cautious approach against South Africa's formidable pace attack, spearheaded by Marco Jansen and Lizaad Williams.


However, Bangladesh's early optimism was dimmed as they lost two wickets within the first six overs. In the 6.2nd over, Najmul Hossain Shanto walked in after Tanzid Hasan's dismissal. It was Marco Jansen who struck again, dismissing Shanto with a caught-behind by Henrich Klaasen.

This marked the second duck for Shanto in the tournament. Shanto, attempting to nudge a delivery drifting towards his pads, inadvertently edged it to Klaasen. South Africa asserted their dominance early on in the game.

At the time of this report, Bangladesh stood at 32 for 3 wickets after 8 overs. The Tigers faced an uphill battle against South Africa's potent bowling attack, needing to regroup and mount a strong response to the imposing target set by their opponents.
