2nd ODI: South Africa v Bangladesh at Benoni, 6 Oct 2002

Ball-by-Ball Commentary


Match State: Match start scheduled for 10am local time (8am GMT)

       Welcome to Willowmoore Park in Benoni for the 2nd of three Standard
        Bank One-Day Internationals between South Africa and Bangladesh.
       South Africa lead the series 1:0 and unless Bangladesh have done
        something to counter the SA pace attack they could find themselves
        going 2:0 down today.
       Benoni might help Bangladesh slightly, being a slower pitch, but
        their technique will still be a bit suspect against the quicker
        bowlers.

        expected to hold.
       South Africa has won the Toss and will field.
