Year Review: Bangladesh team's performance in 2015

4. South Africa series:

Despite these major wins, few thought Bangladesh could stand up to the might of South Africa. South Africa won the T20I series 2-0 before easily winning the first ODI. Skipper Mashrafe Mortaza and Chandika Hathurusingha’s motivation helped the team turn their performance around within 2 days. The two new stars, Sarkar and Mustafizur combined to bring home yet another series win. Mustafizur took three wickets in the 2nd ODI to restrict South Africa to 162 before Sarkar blasted 88 not out and finished the chase inside 28 overs. The decider in Chittagong witnessed Sarkar hammer South Africa with a 75-ball 90. Bangladesh had their maiden ODI series win against South Africa as well.
