So far, Bangladesh’s record of losing by the highest margin in T20 was 102 runs. In 2008, Bangladesh was bowled out for 101 in a 203-run chase in Karachi, Pakistan. That 102-run defeat was the record for Bangladesh’s highest defeat in 14 years. Today, Bangladesh broke its own record by losing to South Africa by 104 runs. On the other hand, this is the second-highest margin of victory for South Africa.

After winning the first match against the Netherlands, Bangladesh was at the top of the points table in ‘Group 2’. In today’s defeat, Bangladesh’s run rate is now -2.375. The reason for this is the huge defeat after being all-out in 17 overs. On the other hand, today’s win was very important for South Africa as the first match against Zimbabwe was abandoned due to rain. Their run rate in big wins is now 5.200! Temba Bavuma’s team was well ahead in the semi-finals.
