South Africa, however, made a rollicking comeback in the next ODI and won the game by 7 wickets. Bangladesh batted first in that encounter and managed to score 194 runs in the first innings. Afif Hussain, played a valuable 72-run knock off 107 balls, while Mehidy Hasan contributed 38 off 49 balls.

However, the top-order batters failed to hit the straps and, as a result of that, Bangladesh could only manage to achieve below-par total. Kagiso Rabada starred with the ball for South Africa as he picked five wickets for just 39 runs in 10 overs.

In pursuit of that, South Africa chased down the total in just 37.2 overs. Janneman Malan and Quinton de Kock laid the foundation with an 86-run partnership for the opening wicket. Malan got out after scoring 26 runs in 40 balls but Quinton de Kock kept smashing the bowlers out of the park. He, eventually, got out in the 16th over after scoring 62 runs in 41 balls.
