South Africa's Rilee Rossouw is adjudged player of the match for his 109.
Another slog sweep attempt from a Bangladesh batter. Another catch from a South Africa deep mid wicket fielder. Litton Das departs as Tabraiz Shamsi picks a third wicket. Bangladesh, 85/8 after 14 overs.
Keshav Maharaj finishes his second over and after the pressure put in from the pacers, the Bangladesh duo in the middle haven't been able to make up for runs against the left arm orthodox. 61/4.
Litton Das (19 off 17) and Mehidy Hasan (4 off 7) in the middle as Bangladesh find it hard to pull the pressure back onto the Proteas. 26/0 after two overs seems like a situation that was days back. 206 nowhere in the horizon for the Asian side. 56/4 after eight overs.
Rabada comes back into the attack from the other end and grabs a wicket. This is brilliant captaincy from Temba Bavuma. Bangladesh had put Rabada on the back foot, which is when SA decided to bring in Nortje, who picked three off his two overs. But just before the field restrictions are lifted and with Bangladesh under the pump, Rabada is brought back in and forces Afif Hossain to top edge a short one. Easy catch at mid off. 47/4 at the end of the powerplay!
Anrich Nortje gets his third wicket in his second over. Captain Shakib Al Hasan has to walk back. 43/3 after five overs.
Litton Das goes after Wayne Parnell for the third six of the Bangladesh innings. Rolls his wrists on the front foot to grab a maximum over deep square leg. 36/2 after four overs.
The right arm quick cleans up Najmul Hossain Shanto with a 148kmph special. And just like that, South Africa are two down at the end of the third over. 27/2.
Change in bowling attack works as Anrich Nortje gets Soumya Sarkar to edge behind first ball of his over. 26/1.
No boundaries off the second over as Wayne Parnell changes the angle a bit for the SA batters. Nine off it though and the start looks good for Bangladesh. 26/0 after two overs.
Only two batters have scored T20I hundreds in back to back innings (both have done so in 2022):
-Gustav Mckeon (France): 109 (vs Switzerland) & 101 (vs Norway)
-Rilee Rossouw (South Africa): 100 (vs India) & 109 (vs Bangladesh)
Shakib provides Bangladesh with another breakthrough. Rilee Rossouw departs for 109 off 56. Just four off the over. 198/4.
First hundred of the 2022 T20 World Cup, Rilee Rossouw. Off 52 deliveries. And look what it meant to him.
Screengrab: Hotstar
Only four runs off that Mustafizur Rahman over. The left armer finishes his spell at 0/25. South Africa are 180/2 after 16 overs.
150 up for South Africa. 150 partnership up for de Kock-Rossouw. Boundaries in all directions, no balls conceded, catches dropped. Bangladesh are losing the plot here. 23 off that over. South Africa, 165/1 after 14 overs.
Quinton de Kock hoicks one over the deep mid wicket to bring up his 50. South Africa inching towards 150 at the end of the 13th. 142/1.
JEEZ!
That was an expensive one from captain Shakib Al Hasan. 21 runs off it (0,2,1,4,6,6nb,1). Rossouw goes berserk muscles a back of a length delivery for a four over long on, clears the fence at deep midwicket next and follows it with another one off a full toss in the same region. 112/1.
Halfway through their innings, South Africa are 91/1. The Proteas will be hoping Rilee Rossouw (50 off 30) and Quinton de Kock (37 off 26) take off from here.
A fourth T20I half century for Rilee Rossouw off 30 deliveries. Four sixes and two fours.
Given that start South Africa had in the powerplay, no boundary in two overs wasn't looking good. Quinton de Kock altered it with a reverse sweep that beat the fielder at the backward point. Eight off it over, 74/1.
Mosaddek Hossain convinces his captain to go for a review as Rilee Rossouw misses a reverse sweep. The Proteas batter is calm about it as the replay suggests no bat is involved. No lbw chance here either. Good over though for Bangladesh, only three off it. 66/1.
Good over from Mustafizur to keep that run rate a little down. Just five off it. South Africa, 63/1.
Promising signs as the umpires inspect pitch after the covers have been taken off at the SCG. The players are back in the middle and we go again!
It is here. It wasn't needed. It wasn't invited. But it is here. Rain.
Just as Mustafizur got done with half of his first over. South Africa 60/1 as the players are forced back off the field. Slightly bigger cover might be concerning but it seems to be a passing shower rather than a long pause.
Hasan Mahmud comes in to replace Mehidy Hasan. Rilee Rossouw picks him twice in the over. Picks a good length delivery on the stumps for a maximum over long on. Then pulls one to deep backward square for a boundary. 42/1 after four overs and Mehidy Hasan comes in from the other end.
20 runs of Taskin Ahmed's second over. Quinton de Kock (20 off eight) picking up from where he left in Hobart before the game against Zimbabwe was called off. South Africa, 31/1 after three overs.
Mehidy Hasan has been brought in early by Shakib Al Hasan, to bowl the second over. Quinton de Kock drives him past the square of the wicket on the off side for a first boundary of the day. South Africa, 10/1 after two overs.
Taskin Ahmed gets Temba Bavuma to edge one past to Litton Das behind the stumps on the last ball of the first over. 2/1.
Quinton de Kock and Temba Bavuma in the middle. Taskin Ahmed to ball to the South Africa skipper. Here. We. Go.
So, good news. The covers are back off and the teams are prepping to be in the middle for the national anthems.
Hey folks, the usual guest at the World Cup is back. The covers are up again. There was a slight drizzle when the toss was happening.
