Quinton de Kock hit 174 off 140 balls as South Africa romped to a comfortable 149-run win over Bangladesh to move second in the World Cup table sakla
De Kock’s haul - the highest individual score of the tournament so far - helped his side to a convincing first-innings total of 382 for five, a target that proved too much for their opponents despite a valiant 111 from as many balls by Mahmudullah sakla
It was insufficient to rescue Bangladesh, who were all out for 233 as they slipped to the bottom of the table in place of England after five matches sakla
There was also big scores for Heinrich Klaasen, who hit 90 from 49 balls, and Aiden Markram who scored 60 off 69 sakla
David Miller smashed four sixes in a cameo of 34 off 15 sakla
South Africa batted first and found themselves struggling early at 36 for two before De Kock and Markram struck up a 131-run partnership to steady the ship and put them on course for another big score, following their 399 for seven against England sakla
De Kock’s hundred came up in 101 balls but that was just the start as he hammer a further 74 from 39 sakla
It proved a target far beyond Bangladesh, who despite heroics from Mahmudullah saw their top order collapse as Tanzid Hassan, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim and Litton Das fell with just 58 on the board sakla
Mahmudullah to ensure his team avoided the spectre of a possible record World Cup defeat, but their future in the tournament looks likely to soon be over after losing for the fourth time in five games sakla

Up in the coaches’ box at Ellis Park, Ian Foster exhaled deeply sakla
It was August of last year, and the All Blacks head coach’s job had been hanging in the balance, a run of five defeats in six matches putting Foster in the firing line sakla
The prognosis looked grim, with the grand old home of South African rugby packed to the rafters with 62,000 Springbok fans who would have loved nothing more than for their side to unseat the coach of their great rival sakla
But Foster’s team saved him, shocking South Africa 35-23 to bring their coach back from the brink sakla
Only New Zealand and Foster himself will know truly how close he was to losing his job, but there is every possibility that defeat in Johannesburg would have spelled a premature end to Foster’s tenure sakla
The players knew what it meant sakla
“We were playing for our coach’s job,” scrum half Aaron Smith admitted afterwards sakla
Little more than a year later, and Foster is ready to lead New Zealand into a final; there is every chance that on Saturday night, he’ll be a World Cup winner sakla
Such a tag would normally ensure a status as something of a national hero – Foster’s predecessors Graham Henry and Steve Hansen both have knighthoods sakla
Yet there is still a sense among All Blacks supporters of a lack of fondness for their head coach; the New Zealand rugby public are already in love with another man sakla
Scott Robertson will take over Foster’s brief after this tournament, having been braced to step into the breach had things deteriorated further and left Foster’s position untenable last year sakla
The clamour for a coach good enough to lead the Canterbury club to seven consecutive Super Rugby titles is understandable, and there is a thought that Robertson’s popularity with players and fans could re-energise the sport sakla
Foster was reportedly so scared about the next head coach’s force of personality disrupting this All Blacks’ campaign that he banned him from attending New Zealand’s World Cup fixtures sakla

But Foster has quietly got on with his work to turn the All Blacks around sakla
He’s far from the first number two to struggle in a lead coaching role – England fans will recall the trouble Andy Robinson had stepping up after Clive Woodward’s departure sakla
Nor, really, has he done a bad job: New Zealand have won every Rugby Championship since Foster took charge sakla
Slowly since the lows of last year, a smile has returned to his face and, while his fate at the end of the tournament is sealed, Foster is happy to enjoy the ride while it lasts sakla
All Blacks captain Sam Cane and head coach Ian Foster (Getty Images)“You have to enjoy your work,” Foster said after the semi-final win over Argentina sakla
“It’s not like it’s a focus for us to go out there and have fun, but to make sure we execute our game to the level we need to sakla
“The team takes a lot of pride when they do that sakla
The work the players and leaders are doing is a real credit to them sakla
As you go through tournaments, you have to enjoy it sakla
There is a lot of pressure, so if you don’t celebrate moments, it is a long old time sakla
“I am proud to be part of this group, the coaches are linking well with the players and there is a nice synergy about it sakla
But you know, one more week sakla
“There’s not a personal agenda here, this is about the All Blacks and the team sakla
Things have happened to individuals and to me, but the team comes first sakla
Right now, we’re making a lot of those decisions together as a group and it is working well sakla

No doubt, the additions of Joe Schmidt and Jason Ryan last year have been key to this campaign sakla
Schmidt has reignited New Zealand’s structured attack, tessellating together bits and pieces from his days in charge of Ireland, while Ryan, in combination with scrum coach Greg Feek, has transformed their set-piece sakla
But not all of the progress can be ascribed their way sakla
Whether Foster recognised where improvements needed to be made or had Schmidt and Ryan thrust upon him is a matter of debate, but the ability to utilise their expertise perhaps shows a cannier coach than some might initially see sakla
"One of the great things about 'Foz' is just how much he loves the All Blacks,” said forwards coach Ryan sakla
“It's all about the team, every decision he makes sakla
Clearly, he has been through a lot but the All Blacks have been through a lot sakla
It is never about one person in the All Blacks, and that’s what has been impressive to me sakla
”Head coach Ian Foster looks on during a New Zealand All Blacks training session (Getty Images)Foster has taken bold calls, too sakla
The transformation of Jordie Barrett from bit-part utility man to first-choice inside centre has proved the key cog in getting the backline ticking, while the backing of captain Sam Cane has been rewarded by two outstanding performances in the last two weeks sakla
The All Blacks have had to deal with injuries, a red card and a breach of team protocols during this tournament but have kept powering on sakla
Their belief in and backing of their gameplan is just as strong as the Springboks’, yet Foster seems to get little of the same praise that Rassie Erasmus and Jacques Nienaber garner sakla
Perhaps it is that there is still an expectation of success around the All Blacks, a feeling that not winning the World Cup would be evidence enough of Foster’s inadequacy sakla
But the squad have made clear this week that they have a good man and a good coach at the helm sakla
If come Saturday night he is clutching a Webb Ellis Cup, this uncared-for coach might finally get some overdue credit sakla
