Bangladesh pacer Taskin Ahmed took five wickets and captain Tamim Iqbal followed up with an unbeaten 87 as Bangladesh cruised to a nine-wicket victory over hosts South Africa in the final ODI on Wednesday (March 23) to complete a 2-1 series win. Bangladesh recovered from a seven-wicket thrashing in the second match to produce a dominant performance to secure their first series victory in South Africa.

South Africa were bowled out for 154 in 37 overs before Bangladesh romped to their target in the 27th over. Taskin took 5/35 in nine overs to rip the guts out of the South African innings after the home team won the toss and elected to bat.

He claimed key wickets to ensure a steady procession of home batsmen, Janneman Malan top-scoring with 39. Bangladesh bludgeoned the South African bowling with Tamim hitting his match-winning innings in 82 balls. The first wicket partnership of 127 with Litton Das (48) took Bangladesh to the cusp of victory and veteran Shakib Al Hasan (18 not out) helped get them over the line.

“This is massive. I rate this at the top,” Tamim said. “It’s now given us belief that when we are touring, we can win games and series. We take a lot of pride in ODI cricket. This is one format where we are very comfortable. The missing part was to win overseas,” he added.

Taskin Ahmed sent back Kyle Verreynne and Janneman Malan back to the dugout for 9 and 39 runs, respectively. Temba Bavuma came to the crease but also departed after being dismissed by Shakib Al Hasan, leaving the team’s total at 71/4 in 16 overs.

Rassie van der Dussen then joined David Miller but could not do much as he got caught out by Mehidy Hasan on the delivery of Shoriful Islam. Taskin later dismissed Miller, Dwaine Pretorius, and Kagiso Rabada, with 126 runs on the board. Shakib then struck again and removed Lungi Ngidi for a duck.

The teams meet in a two-match Test series, starting in Durban on March 31. Check scorecard of South Africa vs Bangladesh third ODI

The court, generally, considers a person who commit a crime and the one who destroys the evidence, as criminals in the eyes of law. But what if an animal destroys the evidence of a crime committed by a human.

In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).

The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.

The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.

Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.

In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.

The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
