Hosts South Africa registered a massive 83-run victory over Bangladesh in the second and last T20 International at Senwes Park, Potchefstroom on Sunday.
With the win, South Africa completed a clean sweep over the visitors in all three formats of the game in the series.
Sun shone brightly upon Bangladesh before the match started as Shakib Al Hassan won the toss. But that was the only achievement for the visitors.
After being put into bat first, the hosts hit balls all over the park capitalising on wayward bowling by the visitors.
Middle-order batsman David Miller hit a record breaking ton scoring 101* runs off just 36 balls.
Hashim Amla was Miller’s ‘partner in crime’ scoring 85 off 51 deliveries.
Shakib Al Hassan and debutant Saifuddin took two wickets each for 22 and 53 runs respectively.
Bangladesh got crushed under the pile of runs in their vain attempt to chase down South Africa’s mammoth score.
Soumya Sarkar was the only batsman to make some sort of impression scoring 44 runs off 27 balls.
JP Duminy and AM Phangiso took two wickets each for 23 and 31 runs respectively.
‘Killer’ Miller was declared Man-of-the-Match for his record innings.
