Shoriful Islam draws first blood for Bangladesh! He came from over the wicket and hurled it on a length, on off and middle, Reeza Hendricks planted his foot forward and presented a straight bat to defend. He failed to account for the inward movement and pays the price. The ball jagged back in off the surface and beat him on the inside edge before sneaking through the big gap between bat and pad. Hendricks saw his woodwork disturbed and had to make the walk back.

Shoriful Islam is ecstatic as he broke into a dance. 

South Africa are 35/1 after seven overs.

A 'fully fit' Shakib Al Hasan returned to Bangladesh's playing XI as the Tigers have been asked to bowl first after losing the toss against South Africa at Mumbai.

Bangladesh made only one change to their playing Xi, Shakib replaced Towhid Hridoy in the side.

South Africa have also made a change replacing injured Lungi Ngidi with Lizaad Williams. It's a World Cup debut for him.

"I don't mind bowling first, if we can restrict them to a reasonable total hopefully we can chase them down," Shakib said at the toss.

"We have to play our best cricket."

"It's really hot. It took a toll on everyone, it's advantage fielding in the evening. It proves that anyone can beat anyone. We took a lesson from that Netherlands game, it's a new day today. We need to try and repeat the same thing," South Africa skipper Aiden Markram said at the toss. 

Bangladesh are placed seventh, having secured just one win in the four matches. They head into the contest after enduring three losses on the trot and will hope to return to winning ways.
