HH Gibbs 49* (40b 8x4 1x6) G Kirsten 52* (32b 9x4 1x6)
Gibbs gets to his fifty with the final run, and that ends a day
that has seen South Africa dominate the cricket through and
through
Once the win was set up by the bowling, mostly by Makhaya Ntini's
four wickets, South Africa were never in danger of slipping up in
chasing 109
And as expected, South Africa's openers knocked off the runs with
minimum fuss, in just 12 overs of admittedly erratic bowling from
Bangladesh
The win, while expected, will give South Africa some comfort after
their defeat against New Zealand, and confidence as they continue
their campaign to make the Super Six
