Proteas whitewash Bangladesh

Bangladesh faced a daunting chase of 370 in the second innings and were bundled out for 169 in the third and final ODI in East London, giving South Africa a 3-0 series whitewash.

South Africa’s bowlers once again proved far too strong for the visiting batsmen with the home side winning by a massive 200 runs.

Set an imposing 370 to win, Bangladesh were bowled out for 169 in the 41st over with only Shakib Al Hasan (63) and Sabbir Rahman (39) offering any resistance.

Dane Paterson was the pick of the Protea bowlers with 3/44 while Aiden Markram picked up 2/18 and Imran Tahir finished with 2/27.

Earlier, led by an impressive top order battling display, the Proteas  amassed 369 for 6 in their 50 overs with Faf du Plessis (91), Quinton de Kock (73) and Markram (66) leading the way.

Mehidy Hasan was the pick of the Bangladeshi bowlers taking 2/59 in his 10 overs.
