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

First came the crack in Alexander Volkanovski‘s defence sakla
Then, the crack in his voice sakla
If the first crack was consequential, allowing Islam Makhachev to skim his shin off the Australian’s head, the latter was a consequence in itself – a consequence of one of the best fighters alive staying silent on his struggles with mental health sakla
That is, until now sakla
Volkanovski would have emerged from UFC 294 with credit anyway; he stepped in on 11 days’ notice and moved up in weight to challenge a man who had beaten him eight months prior sakla
Even in this surprising, first-round defeat by Makhachev, Volkanovski lost very little sakla
His featherweight title still rests firmly on his shoulder, and he will soon return to that weight class where he has been unbeatable sakla
But soon may be too soon sakla
In his post-fight press conference, Volkanovski began the dissection of this defeat – his second this year, but just his third as a professional mixed martial artist, with his first having occurred a long decade ago sakla
The 35-year-old started to dissect the technical reasons for this knockout loss, but it soon became apparent what was of greater importance: the psychological reasons for his presence in Abu Dhabi sakla
“He’s not somebody you should be taking a short-notice [fight] with, but I needed it,” Volkanovski began sakla
“Obviously a lot of people will say it’s for the money and all that, but it was much more than that sakla
It is hard, it is really hard for athletes sakla
sakla
sakla
Sorry, um sakla
sakla
sakla
I never thought I would struggle with it,” he continued, ignoring the blood over his eye, instead wiping a tear from beneath it sakla
“But for some reason when I wasn’t fighting or in camp sakla
sakla
sakla
F***, sorry,” he said, attempting a laugh, looking away and to the ceiling, then gently rapping his hand on the table to bring himself back into the room sakla

“I needed a fight, and this opportunity came up sakla
I’ll be honest: I wasn’t training as much as I should have, but I thought I had to do it sakla
I had to take it sakla
I’m telling myself, ‘It’s meant to be sakla
’ I was struggling a little bit not fighting, doing my head in sakla
I don’t know how; everything’s fine, I’ve got a beautiful family sakla
But, I don’t know sakla
sakla
sakla
I think you just need to keep busy sakla
I need to be in camp, otherwise, I’m going to do my head in sakla
“It’s weird, [it’s not that I] never ‘believed in that stuff’, but I never got it sakla
It was something that – I don’t know – maybe the more and more I learn about myself, the more I understand sakla
I talked about us having a smile on my face, me and my wife sakla
My wife could see it does get hard, I don’t know why sakla
”Makhachev consoles Volkanovski after their fight, the main event of UFC 294 (AP)Volkanovski pointed to the birth of his third child, in August, and surgery on an injury this summer as reasons why he had not been training sakla
Clearly, the knock-on effect of those moments – as joyous as the former seemed to be – has led Volkanovski’s mental health to suffer sakla
Last week, all the talk was of how brave the Australian was to face Makhachev on short notice; braver was this admission that he is struggling, which simultaneously offers a different lens through which to view his choice to fight sakla
Keeping himself engaged and busy is healthy, but that is complicated by the inherent risk in his profession sakla
“Maybe it was just a silly decision under the circumstances,” he admitted sakla
Perhaps it was, though it was also understandable sakla
Volkanovski’s next challenge, however, will come outside of the ring sakla
It must sakla
He naturally sees the antidote to his current struggles as a quick turnaround to fight again, likely against the dangerous Ilia Topuria in January sakla
Yet, that fight could go the same way as Saturday’s against Makhachev, if the Australian does not first tackle these thoughts and feelings, and find the right balance for him sakla
We knew Alexander Volkanovski was brave sakla
That is even clearer now than it was last week sakla
Now, however, he must be sensible, and get to work outside the ring before he can return to work in it sakla
