Things won’t get any easier for the South Africans, what with powerhouses India waiting for them in Southampton on Wednesday.
Having been beaten by favourites England by 104 runs at the same ground on Thursday, Faf du Plessis’ team were on the receiving end of a record-break effort by the Bangladeshis.It proved out of South Africa’s reach by 21 runs — they slumped to 309/8 in reply.
The South Africans seemed flat and listless throughout, and are likely to find the going even tougher against India in Southampton on Wednesday. Having come to the tournament on the back of slim belief among even their most ardent fans that could improve on previous performances in the tournament, South Africa are in danger of falling below those expectations.
