We are all set for the action. But first, both the teams will line up for their respective national anthems. It is Bangladesh's first followed by South Africa's. We are done with the proceedings and it is now time for the game to begin. The players will take the knee to support the 'BLM' movement. Quinton de Kock and Janneman Malan are the openers for the Proteas. Shoriful Islam to start with the ball. Two slips in place...

After Bangladesh’s historic first ODI win, the Proteas came back strong on a difficult pitch, thanks to Rabada’s brilliance and de Kock’s quick heroics which helped them to level the series. A series win could mean another golden feather in the cap of Bangladesh’s cricketing voyage. The mix of experience and youth has done a superb job for Bangladesh and you can see the depth in their batting and also the improvement in their bowling. All in all, it is a very important match for both teams not just for the series but also for the points in the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Super League. Stay tuned for the toss and other updates.
Hello and a warm welcome to the third and final ODI of the series between South Africa and Bangladesh. It is time for the decider and Bangladesh have a chance to create history to win the series for the first time on South African soil, while the hosts have never lost to the Bangla Tigers, so they will look to keep the procession intact. It is a do-or-die match as the team which wins will take the series home, the ODI series to be precise. Let's hope for a cracking contest here at SuperSport Park.
