The dancing celebration of Bangladesh pacer Shoriful Islam went viral on social media after he ousted South African opener Reeza Hendricks during ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 match played at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
Shoriful Islam took the first wicket for his side and sent off Proteas opener Reeza Hendricks with a brilliant fuller delivery.
The opening batter survived a drop by Tanzid Hasan off Mehidy Hasan Miraz’s bowling in just the second over, however, he failed to deliver with the bat and managed to score 12 off 19 balls.
After claiming the crucial wicket as Hendricks smashed 85 against defending champions England in the previous match, the Bangladesh pacer exhibited his excitement with unique dance moves.
First inning
In-form Quinton de Kock played a swashbuckling 174-run knock before Heinrich Klaasen’s blistering 90 as South Africa decimated Bangladesh bowlers to post a mammoth 382/5 in the 23rd match of the ICC World Cup 2023.
South African batters justified their captain Aiden Markram’s decision to bat first as they racked up a huge total on the board.
The Proteas, however, had a contrasting start to their innings as they lost opener Reeza Hendricks (12) and Rassie van der Dussen (1) cheaply with just 36 runs on the board in the eighth over.

De Kock and Klaasen put together a 142-run partnership, conceding just 87 deliveries before the former finally perished in the 46th over.
He top-scored for South Africa with a quickfire 174 in 140 balls, laced up with 15 boundaries and seven sixes.
The two finishers knitted a sensational 65-run partnership, taking just 25 deliveries before Klaasen fell in the final over.
He fell just shy of his well-deserved century, scoring 90 in a mere 49 deliveries, smashing two boundaries and eight sixes.
Hasan Mahmud was the pick of the bowlers for Bangladesh, picking up two wickets, while Shakib Al Hasan, Shoriful Islam and Mehidy Hasan Miraz made one scalp each.
