Bangladesh crash to another loss after their batsmen turn in yet another poor performance. They won the toss, batted but only eked out 178. Smith and Gibbs shared a 143-run opening partnership to charge the visitors to a facile win. That's it from us. Thanks for logging in. Bye.

Shakib Al Hasan to Smith, FOUR, Smith gets his hundred and SA seal the win. His 7th ODI ton. He came down the track, was beaten in the flight but lunged forward to chip it over the infield and it rolls over to the long-on boundary.
