South Africa Wins 1st ODI By 61 Runs against Bangladesh

Potchefstroom: Dale Steyn laid down a marker for the season ahead and showed he is back to full health as he took a career-best 4 for 16 to help South Africa to a 61-run victory in the opening One-day.

Ashraful was compiling a composed 73, the home side were being tested, but Steyn returned to claim two wickets in two balls and South Africa eased home. Steyn struck twice in his opening spell with the new ball, dismissing Imrul Kayes and Junaid Siddique.

Earlier, SA won the toss and decided to bat first. Amla was sent back by opening partner Justin Ontong after the ball squirted out on the leg side off Ontong's pad. As he turned, Amla collided with Mortaza, who was going for the ball. Both men fell and fielder Naeem Islam had an easy task in completing the run-out.

Brief Score: South Africa 283 for 8 (Kallis 50, Islam 3-60) beat Bangladesh 222 (Ashraful 73, Shakib 51, Steyn 4-16) by 61 runs. Detail Score
