CRICKET SOUTH AFRICA (CSA) today congratulated the Standard Bank Proteas on their achievement in winning the KFC T20 International Series after they beat Bangladesh by 83 runs in the second game of the two-match series at Senwes Park on Sunday to clinch the series 2-0. They won the first match by 20 runs at the Mangaung Oval on Thursday evening.



“This is another important step forward for our new leadership team headed by national head coach Ottis Gibson, Faf du Plessis as well as stand-in captain JP Duminy and congratulations are due to them and all the players and management staff,” commented CSA Acting Chief Executive, Thabang Moroe. “It has been heartening to see the way responsibility has been given to some of the younger players to show that they can step up and broaden our talent pool.



“The time has come for us to move up the T20 rankings to the same level achieved by our Test and ODI squads and this forms part of this process.



“I would also like to thank and congratulate the Free State and North West unions that have hosted these matches. They have been extremely well supported,” concluded Mr. Moroe.

Frankly just not good enough.

DAVID MILLER wrote his name into the annals of the shortest format when he smashed the fastest ever century in the history of T20 International cricket to set the Standard Bank Proteas up for an 83-run victory in the final match of the Bangladesh tour at Senwes Park on Sunday.

The victory gave the Proteas a 2-0 victory in the KFC T20 International Series and enabled them to complete a clean sweep across all three formats.

Miller made his century off just 35 balls which was a stunning 10 balls quicker than the previous best by his fellow Protea, Richard Levi. In the process he became the fourth South African to score a T20 International century after Levi, Morne van Wyk and Faf du Plessis. He also came within one hit of matching Yuvraj Singh’s performance of hitting 6 sixes in a single over. He despatched the first five balls from Saifuddin into the capacity crowd but could not get his bat under the sixth and had to settle for a single.

With 31 runs coming from that over he moved from 51 to 100 off just 13 deliveries during a blitz which included 6 sixes and 2 fours.

Unhappily for Bangladesh he was dropped before he had scored a run but thereafter it wasn’t just Miller Time, it was Miller day.

Up until his onslaught it looked as though Hashim Amla would be the one to become South Africa’s fourth centurion as he helped himself to 85 off 51 balls (11 fours and a six) before being caught in the deep but then Miller took over (101 not out off 36 balls, 7 fours and 9 sixes).

At one stage Bangladesh looked well in the match when they restricted the Proteas to 45/2 in the 6 power play overs and 78/3 after 10 but that proved to be just the calm before the storm.

Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan, who opened the bowling on a slow-paced pitch, took 2/24 in his 4 overs but he was then trumped by South African captain JP Duminy in the same role when he took 2/23.

Bangladesh simply lost too many wickets as they chased a near impossible target, losing 4 top men in the power play overs.

Wickets continued to fall at regular intervals as the required run rate gradually got out of hand, soaring to 23 in the last 5 overs. Even during the height of the Miller onslaught with wickets in hand the Proteas managed 90 in the last 5 overs.

It goes without saying that Miller was named KFC Man of the Match and KFC Man of the Series.

 

[Pakpak]

Hilarious how BD posters are almost invisible since the CT and especially since BD's unbelievable humiliation.

 

[Buffet]

With these kind of performances, it will be hard for BD to get tours. Losing is not an issue, but playing like a club side in entire tour is not a sight fans want to see.

 

[MMHS]

End of a "tour", Alhamdulillah.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Every team these days have a power hitter. And we have Sarfraz..

But no team has Sarfaraz as their captain.

 

[Syed1]

Every team these days have a power hitter. And we have Sarfraz..

Yeah we are missing Umar Akmal

 

[Pakpak]

End of a "tour", Alhamdulillah.

Time to get rid of Mortaza. The guy has been a disaster.

Who else had not been "disaster"?

On a serious note, I think he'll retire now for his next career (politics??)

 

[Hasan123]

What an embarrassing performance by Bangldesh in this tour. To not even compete is an absolute disgrace.

 

[Desprado123]

There was one bangldesh poster here who said that they have best bowling attack in Asia. I do not see poster posting after CT.

remember the poster very well - also said that Bangladesh would beat Pak 5-0 at home in ODIs and 3-2/4-1 away

what happened to the rising power and replacing Pakistan prediction....

Always funny to see delusional predictions go spectacularly wrong..

Looks like Bangladesh needs to play Nepal soon to get some confidence back...
