South Africa defeated Sri Lanka by a comfortable 7 wickets and 7 balls to spare. Number 7 was also lucky for the Sri Lankans in their
win over the Kiwis. South Africa won the toss and elected to field first, again. The Bangladeshis did not start of well and were in all sorts of trouble at 34-3 with the skipper, Mohammad Ashraful, gone for only 10 runs that already included 1 four and 1 six.
The Proteas kept the pressure up and wickets continued to fall, however, 144 runs were scored in the end. Pollock was the most successful and expensive bowlers. His 3.3 overs cost 40 runs and he picked up 3 wickets. Ntini also went for quite a few - 31 runs from 2 overs. The best bowler was JJ van der Wath who gave away a measly 13 runs from 4 overs and got a wicket. Aftab Ahmad was the top scorer for Bangladesh, smashing 36 runs from only 14 balls with 5 fours and 2 sixes.

Post updated with match highlights
Upset #2 in as many days. West Indies are out of the tournament, despite some heavy batting performance. This time it was upset-favorite Bangladesh. After a shock win in the 50 over edition early this year, Bangladesh has sent the Windies back home, to where they belong. West Indies, who had started very well in their practice game, have had two shockers with the ball. Agreed, their batsmen were superb. But, if you can’t defend 200+ in a 20 over match then there seems to be some problem. And that problem was well exploited by Bangladesh.
Set a target of 165, Mohammad Ashraful and Aftab Ahmed played superb knocks of 61 and 62 respectively. Ashraful was at his destructive best, smashing 61 in only 27 balls. His 50 came off only 20 balls, including 7 fours and 3 sizes, and that really set the stage for the 5 wicket win. Aftab Ahmed remained unbeaten and had faced 49 balls.
