Quinton de Kock showcased his brilliance with a stunning 174, marking his third century of the World Cup, as South Africa dominated Bangladesh in a match held in Mumbai on Tuesday. The Proteas faced an early setback, finding themselves at 36-2 after winning the toss. However, they regrouped vigorously, amassing 144 runs in the last 10 overs to conclude their innings at 382-5, punctuated by a flurry of boundaries.

South Africa now boasts four wins out of their initial five World Cup matches, with their only blemish being an unexpected loss to the Netherlands. On the flip side, Bangladesh are struggling to qualify for the semi-finals after enduring four defeats in five games and currently occupy the last spot in the 10-team group.

Left-handed opener Quinton de Kock responded with his third century in five World Cup innings, following his scores of 100 and 109 against Sri Lanka and Australia. His superb form continues in what he has stated will be his final major one-day tournament at the age of 30. De Kock's stunning knock of 174 came from 140 balls, including 15 fours and seven sixes, showcasing a blend of elegant strokeplay and sheer power.

South Africa's total of 382-5 was also boosted by Heinrich Klaasen's rapid 90, contributing to the team's commanding performance. The Bangladesh bowlers struggled to contain the Proteas, with pacemen Mustafizur Rahman and Shoriful Islam conceding 76 runs each from their nine-over spells.

In response, Bangladesh faced a daunting task to chase down the imposing total set by South Africa. They faltered early, losing key wickets and finding themselves at 58-5. Mahmudullah, however, showed resilience and delayed the inevitable loss with his impressive knock of 111 from as many balls, which included 11 boundaries and four sixes.

Despite Mahmudullah's effort, there was little support from the rest of the team as no other Bangladesh batsman managed to score more than 22 runs. South African left-arm quick Marco Jansen further dented Bangladesh's chances by taking two wickets in two balls.

In the end, Bangladesh could only manage a total of 233, falling short by 149 runs. South Africa's comprehensive victory solidifies their position in the tournament, while Bangladesh faces an uphill battle to secure a spot in the semi-finals.

With this dominant performance, Quinton de Kock continues to make his mark in the World Cup, showcasing his exceptional batting skills and contributing significantly to South Africa's success.
