`After South Africa’s reincarnation in international cricket in 1992, the proteas have dominated their rivals like a heavyweight wrestler against a featherweight opponent. And one of those featherweight wrestlers who had been dominated by South Africa over the years in the cricket ring is Bangladesh. In the 50 international games that South Africa has played against Bangladesh, they have lost just six games. In Test and T20I cricket, Bangladesh has yet to defeat the Proteas, the only format in which the Bangla Tigers succeed against South Africa is One-Day Internationals. Hence, statistically, there is no rivalry between these two teams but the South Africa National Cricket Team vs Bangladesh National Cricket Team match scorecard shows that these two teams shared numerous moments of nail-biting finishes. Some of them are mentioned below to highlight the intensity of rivalry these two teams shared despite a one-sided dominance by South Africa.
