T20 World Cup 2024 Records: Records Shattered in Low-scoring South Africa vs Bangladesh thriller in New York

South Africa vs Bangladesh, Match 21, ICC T20 World Cup 2024 Records: South Africa have become the first team to qualify for the Super 8 stage of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. They are in Group D and have won three consecutive matches to reach at six points. On Monday, South Africa beat  Bangladesh Cricket Team in match no. 21 at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, New York, which was a low-scoring game, and registered a very close win by just four runs. They were not in the game until the last few overs. Bangladesh were crushing towards a historic win.

But South Africa made sure that they didn't let the Bangladeshi batters get away with the run rate. They bowled tightly and went on to register a great win to get two important points on the board. South Africa Cricket Team won the toss and took the courageous decision of batting first. But they didn't have a great performance. They only managed 113/6 in 20 overs. Tanzim Hasan Sakib bowled well for his 3/18. In reply, Bangladesh were 94/4 at one stage but they lost the momentum and managed 109/7. There were a few good records broken in the SA vs BAN match which we will talk about here in this article.
