Quinton de Kock and Hashim Amla's unbeaten centuries against Bangladesh helped South Africa register a massive 10-wicket win in the first one-day international here yesterday. While chasing a target of 279, De Kock hammered 21 fours and two sixes for his 168 off 145 balls. Amla took 112 deliveries for his 110 not out, hitting eight fours en route.

Earlier, Mushfiqur Rahim became the first Bangladesh batsman to score a century against South Africa as he spurred his team to a respectable total at the Diamond Oval. Mushfiqur scored an unbeaten 110 as Bangladesh posted an impressive 278 for seven, their highest total against the South Africans, after winning the toss and deciding to bat on what seemed to be an easy-paced pitch.
