The 154-run opening stand between Tamim and Soumya takes Bangladesh to victory in the 3rd ODI at Chittagong by nine wickets and secures the first ever series win over South Africa.

Bangladesh skipper Mashrafe Mortaza and his troops must defy tall odds, and defeat South Africa in the third and final ODI at Chittagong for a rare shot at cricketing glory .

Two one-sided matches, with the teams batting first folding for identical scores and losing by big margins, have given the third ODI at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium the status of a final.

Mashrafe Mortaza’s men have never beaten South Africa in a series. They have also never successfully won an ODI series, against a top-eight side, after losing the first match.

Tigers are going guns with a whitewash over Pakistan, followed by a series win against India, and now they've pulled one over South Africa in the 2nd ODI of the 3-match series at Mirpur on July 12, 2015.

If Bangladesh win on Tuesday, July 15 against South Africa, the world will get an after-shock of the series wins over India and Pakistan unlike anything seen on the Richter scale before.

Bangladesh cricket team continues to make headlines this year in ODI cricket with nine wins in fourteen matches, and gives ample reason why the 50-over format is their undeniable forte.

July 12, 2015 will be etched in Bangladesh’s cricket history as the day when Tigers outplayed South Africa in all departments to win the 2nd ODI at Mirpur by seven wickets.

Bangladesh's troubles seem more tactical in nature, although captain Mashrafe Mortaza has said that their strategy of using eight batsmen was a confidence issue.

All in all, Bangladeshi cricketers need to pull up their socks and execute their plans effectively if they are to win against a confident Proteas team.

This match will be played under the new ODI rules, in which there need not be compulsory fielders in the 15-yard circle.

Bangladesh captain Mashrafe Mortaza says the batsmen made some wrong choices with their shots and left little too much to do in the final overs.

Bangladesh T20I skipper Mashrafe Bin Mortaza urges his players not to think about the side’s previous records against South Africa and play fearless cricket in the upcoming series.

Bangladesh and South Africa with little in common are meeting at crossroads, one side coming to an end of a successful period, the other beginning a long journey.

Facing the monumental task of beating the Proteas at home, Bangladesh can least afford to look back at history and be distracted from the job at hand.
