Bangladesh skipper Tamim Iqbal termed his side’s historic 38-run triumph against South Africa in the opening ODI of the three-match series as “a very special win,” and lauded the contribution of the lower order, which helped the tourists cross the psychological 300-run mark at SuperSport Park on Saturday.

Bangladesh’s top order fired on all cylinders as the tourists notched up a massive 314-7 and then dismissed South Africa for 276 to secure a 38-run win and take a 1-0 lead. This was Bangladesh’s first-ever win on South African soil.
