Prince, McKenzie of South Africa A punish BD

SOWETO, South Africa: South African Test batsmen Ashwell Prince and Neil McKenzie led a strong batting performance by South Africa A against touring Bangladesh at the Soweto Oval here on Tuesday.

Prince made 87 and McKenzie, the captain, hit an aggressive 77 as South Africa A made 279 for five in their 50 overs after being sent in a one-day game in the township southwest of Johannesburg.

Martin van Jaarsveld, who has been picked for the national team for the first one-day international against the same opponents in Potchefstroom on Thursday, made 50 as South Africa A recovered from a slow start.

Bangladesh opening bowlers Manjural Islam and Tapash Baisya bowled steadily with Tapash showing that he could spearhead his team's attack in the international games. Tapash finished with four for 49. 

Leg-spinner Alok Kapali was also impressive, conceding only 30 runs in eight overs.

Left-hander Prince and van Jaarsveld set up the South African team for a good total with a third wicket stand of 102 off 129 balls.

McKenzie, a surprise discard from the national team, lifted the tempo of the innings and made his 77 off 55 balls before being caught in the deep in the 49th over.

Prince, who played in three Tests against Australia last season but has yet to play in a one-day international, made his 87 off 103 balls.
