Bangladesh severely dented South Africa’s hopes of making it to the last four of ICC World Cup with a 22-run win at the Oval on Sunday. Attempting to become the first team to successfully chase more than 330 to win a World Cup match, South Africa's bid to rewrite the record books fell short at 309 for eight. It won't get any easier for Du Plessis' troubled side in their next match when they face title contenders India on Wednesday. That brought du Plessis to the crease and together with Markram he put on 53 in 60 balls. Du Plessis got to fifty off 45 balls, reaching the milestone with a six off Mosaddek Hossain.
