South Africa handed Bangladesh their second successive defeat in the Twenty20 Triangular Series with a 39-run victory in Harare.
An unbeaten 88 from Hashim Amla helped the Proteas post 209-3 after opting to bat first, a total that always looked out of reach for their opponents.

To their credit, the Tigers - who had also lost their opening match against host nation Zimbabwe - did manage a respectable 170-8 in reply, with Mushfiqur Rahim unbeaten on 50.
The Bangladesh captain built a partnership worth 61 with Mahmudullah (34) after seeing his side slump to 49-4, spinner Robin Peterson claiming two early wicketas after being asked to open the bowling.
There was another flurry of wickets late on in the innings as Ziaur Rahman (18), Mashrafe Mortaza (eight) and Abul Hasan (one) all perished in the closing overs.
