Update : 15 Jul 2015, 08:38 AM

Tigers need 169 runs to win against South Africa for the third straight ODI series win.

Bangladeshi skipper has got his 200th ODI wicket bagging D Miller who was furious with bat scoring 44 runs off 51 balls and propelled the Proteus innings with Duminy after losing four wickets.

It was a brilliant catch by Sabbir Rahman at backward point. This was short delivery and wide outside off, Miller cuts it in the air towards the right of backward point.

Shakib was the first one to greet the skipper on achieving his landmark. This is the first time two players in the same team have got their 200th wicket in the same game.

South Africa scroed 167-run losing 8 wickets in 39.2 over in the third and final match of the three-match ODI series.

Tigers are playing today for the third straight ODI series win as they leveled the series 1-1 with a seven wicket  victory at Mirpur on Sunday.

Match has been reduced to 40 overs from 50 due to rain.

Mahmudullah dismissed Rossouw after Shakib Al Hasan picked up Amla for 15 runs and Faf du Plessis for 6. Shakib got his 200th wicket in ODIs.

Mustafizur Rahman has sent Quinton de Kock back to the pavilion only for 7 in the third and final match of the three-match ODI series.

The visitors managed to score 169 runs in 40 overs.

South Africa have won the toss and decided to bat.

The play began at 3pm on Wednesday at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chittagong.

Bangladesh defeated the visitors by seven wickets in the second match and leveled the three-match ODI series by 1-1 at Mirpur, Dhaka. 

Bangladesh have never been closer than they are right now to an ODI series win against South Africa. The two sides have faced each other in three ODI series in the past with the Proteas winning them all convincingly.

The Tigers have been flying high in recent times following their triumphs over sub-continent powerhouses Pakistan and India and they can go one better today by overcoming the formidable Proteas.
