Nasir Hossain
Star Online Report
Mustafizur Rahman picked up his first wicket of the match when his off-cutter fooled du Plessis all ends up.
The ball stopped on the batsman and induced a leading edge from the Proteas skipper. Faf du Plessis scored 16 runs from 17 balls during his stay at the wicket.

BANGLADESH vs SOUTH AFRICA 2nd T20I
South Africa: 156/4 (19.1/20 over)
South Africa won the toss and elected to bat

Nasir sent back the dangerous de Villiers immediately after dismissing JP Duminy. AB tried to deflect the delivery from Nasir to fine leg but was caught behind by Mushfiqur Rahim.
AB de Villiers scored 40 runs from 34 balls with six shots across the fence.
Nasir Hossain gave Bangladesh their second wicket when he defeated JP Duminy in flight and produced a leading edge for a straight-forward catch.
Duminy scored six runs from four balls with one boundary to his name.
South Africa’s highest partnership against Bangladesh in T20I was stopped at 95 runs when Arafat Sunny dismissed Quinton de Kock for 44.
Quinton was more positive than his partner AB de Villiers, played 31 balls and smashed four boundaries and two sixes in his knock.
South Africa’s openers Quinton de Kock and AB de Villiers took the attack to the Bangladeshi bowlers in the second T20I of the series.
Both of them were quick to dispatch any loose delivery to the boundary and kept the scoreboard ticking with ones and twos.
Earlier, the Proteas gave legspinner Eddie Leie a maiden T20 cap with Rabada making way.
Bangladesh have a debutant as well in Rony Talukdar, who slots in place of Sohag Gazi.
Those are the only changes from the first game.
South Africa's 52-run win in the first T20 could have left Bangladesh dispirited but there has been a good vibe among the home team in recent months because they have learned how to bounce back.
What will irk them, though, is that this is the first time since November that they have lost the first game of a series.
Bangladesh will also hope their bowling attack can once again contain South Africa, and that their batsmen can find the right blend of discipline and aggression.
Can Bangladesh comeback and square the series?
Or will it be another victory for the Proteas?
