Quinton de Kock hit 174 off 140 balls as South Africa romped to a comfortable 149-run win over Bangladesh to move second in the World Cup table sakla
De Kock’s haul - the highest individual score of the tournament so far - helped his side to a convincing first-innings total of 382 for five, a target that proved too much for their opponents despite a valiant 111 from as many balls by Mahmudullah sakla
It was insufficient to rescue Bangladesh, who were all out for 233 as they slipped to the bottom of the table in place of England after five matches sakla
There was also big scores for Heinrich Klaasen, who hit 90 from 49 balls, and Aiden Markram who scored 60 off 69 sakla
David Miller smashed four sixes in a cameo of 34 off 15 sakla
South Africa batted first and found themselves struggling early at 36 for two before De Kock and Markram struck up a 131-run partnership to steady the ship and put them on course for another big score, following their 399 for seven against England sakla
De Kock’s hundred came up in 101 balls but that was just the start as he hammer a further 74 from 39 sakla
It proved a target far beyond Bangladesh, who despite heroics from Mahmudullah saw their top order collapse as Tanzid Hassan, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim and Litton Das fell with just 58 on the board sakla
Mahmudullah to ensure his team avoided the spectre of a possible record World Cup defeat, but their future in the tournament looks likely to soon be over after losing for the fourth time in five games sakla

Rugby’s biggest rivalry will be played out on its grandest stage with a historic, unique achievement on the line sakla
South Africa vs New Zealand sakla
This is what World Cup finals are all about sakla
It’s the two greatest rugby nations going head to head, with the winners becoming the first country to claim four men’s World Cups sakla
Unlike sakla boxing, rugby doesn’t have the notion of an undisputed champion but if ever there was a match to decide one, Saturday evening in the Stade de France would be it sakla
As Springboks assistant coach Mzwandile Stick explained 24 hours before the match: “The All Blacks have won the World Cup three times, we have won it three times, so this game is actually bigger than just a World Cup final sakla
Whoever wins is probably going to have bragging rights for the next eight years sakla
”These two countries have rugby embedded in their national DNA more than any other sakla
A game brought from the northern hemisphere during the colonial era has been seized upon, changed and improved post-independence with both nations long since surpassing their former colonisers sakla
With any other team, the constant refrains from South African players about how much it means to the people back home and how the Springboks represent something greater than themselves would come across as cloying and insincere sakla
But the point is delivered so movingly and with such earnestness that you can’t help but get swept along by the sentiment sakla
These countries first played way back in 1921 (a 13-5 New Zealand victory in Dunedin) and more than a century later, they will meet for the 106th time on Saturday evening sakla
New Zealand lead the all-time series with 62 wins to 39, and four draws, but South Africa will take heart from the most recent match-up – the record 35-7 thumping they handed their rivals at Twickenham just weeks before this World Cup started sakla
Although the rivalry has more than 100 years of history, its modern era can be traced back to one game, perhaps the most iconic rugby match of all time sakla
On 24 June 1995, having recently returned from international exile following the long overdue downfall of apartheid, South Africa hosted the Rugby World Cup final at Ellis Park in Johannesburg sakla
Nelson Mandela presenting Francois Pienaar with the World Cup trophy in 1995 is rugby’s most iconic image (AFP)By now, the story is legendary sakla
The hugely-favoured All Blacks, with maybe the greatest rugby player of all time in Jonah Lomu, were shackled by the upstart Springboks, spurred on by a raucous home crowd sakla
Joel Stransky’s drop goal deep into extra-time handed them a 15-12 win, the image of Nelson Mandela in a Springboks jersey and cap handing the trophy to South Africa captain Francois Pienaar became a photo seen around the world and united a divided nation sakla
Remarkably, especially given the fact that by the time the 2027 tournament rolls around it will have been one year shy of a quarter of a century since someone other than these two teams won the World Cup, Saturday will be the first time they have met in the final since sakla
Historically, the All Blacks are undeniably the greatest rugby team with an aura that surrounds them forged by years of complete and utter dominance sakla
As if to prove that point, they have won the last four Rugby Championship titles despite being ‘in crisis’ during this cycle and being written off as a shadow of their former selves sakla
The fact they have won 10 of 12 crowns since the Tri Nations became the Rugby Championship with the addition of Argentina in 2012 tells its own story sakla
However, the Springboks have become the ultimate tournament team sakla
They have a sakla better World Cup record than New Zealand, winning three of seven editions that they have entered, while victory at the Stade de France would take their strike rate up to an incredible 50 per cent sakla
The Springboks have become the ultimate World Cup team (Reuters)When the lights shine brightest, South Africa know how to win games of knockout rugby sakla
One-point triumphs over France in the quarter-final and England in the semi-final could be written off as flukes were it not for the fact that every four years, the Springboks prove that they are tournament animals with ice running through their veins sakla
There was understandable excitement about northern hemisphere teams – especially France and Ireland – finally getting their moment to shine this year sakla
A legendary quarter-final weekend put paid to that but it’s hard to complain too much about what we got instead sakla
Rugby’s greatest rivalry is about to crown its undisputed World Cup champions sakla
Settle in for the ride sakla
