Rabada led a South African exhibition of quality pace bowling to bowl Bangladesh out for 84 and set up a six-wicket win at the Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi.

Although their chase was hit by the loss of three early wickets, a 47-run partnership for the fourth wicket took them over the line in 13.3 overs, thus giving their net run rate a boost as well.

The win, though, was set up by the pace bowlers earlier, who made the most of conditions that aided pace and bounce.

Rabada took three wickets across five balls in the Powerplay, while Tabraiz Shamsi took 2/21 and Anrich Nortje wrapped the innings up for 3/8.
