In an exhilarating showdown, South Africa amassed a colossal total of 382 runs.
Quinton de Kock led the charge, with Heinrich Klaasen adding impetus, setting a formidable target for Bangladesh in their ICC World Cup clash in Mumbai.
In a moment of sheer brilliance, de Kock reached his 20th ODI century off the first delivery of the 35th over, achieving the milestone in 101 balls, embellished with six boundaries and four towering sixes.
De Kock concluded with an impressive 174 off 140 balls, including 15 fours and seven sixes.
Klaasen, on the other hand, exhibited a more explosive style, scoring 90 off just 49 balls, featuring two fours and eight sixes. Aiden Markram also contributed significantly, with 60 runs off 69 balls.
This marks the highest total against Bangladesh in this World Cup so far.
Bangladesh have never scored this many runs in ODIs. To win this match, they must break all the records in their cricketing history.
