Match State: Match start scheduled for 3pm local time (8am GMT)
Hello, and welcome to CricInfo's live coverage of the penultimate
league match from the TVS Cup in Dhaka, where South Africa take on
Bangladesh in what will be the home side's last match.
Bangladesh have not had a happy time of it in this tournament.
After an indifferent World Cup, they continue to struggle at the
international level against top-notch sides.
They have gotten better through the tournament, though. After being
bowled out for 76 in the first game, their batsman dominated South
Africa's pace attack for a brief time when the two sides first
met.
Yesterday, their bowlers created some artificial excitement with a
clutch of wickets, but India never looked like actually losing the
game.
Bangladesh take the field again today, on a day slightly cooler
than previous ones in this competition. Possible showers are
forecast for later in the day, but they seem unlikely to hit.
South African captain Graeme Smith won the toss and opted to bat.

Bangladesh: Mohammad Ashraful, Mehrab Hossain, Khaled Mahmud
(capt), Habibul Bashar, Alok Kapali, Akram Khan, Sanwar Hossain,

Bangladesh go down by 93 runs in their final match of this TVS Cup,
and as with their previous games, never looked like challenging
their opponents
Despite a long vigil from Alok Kapali, South Africa moved to a win
implacably, and they will now play India in the final on Sunday.
The Man of the Match was announced as Shaun Pollock, for his
quickfire batting and three-wicket haul
Join us again tomorrow for live coverage of the India-South Africa
