CRICKET NEWS - An injury to captain Faf du Plessis took some of the gloss off a comprehensive South African win in the third and final one-day international against Bangladesh at Buffalo Park on Sunday.

Du Plessis retired hurt on 91 and had to be helped off the field with an acute lower back strain and took no further part in the match as South Africa completed a series clean sweep, winning by 200 runs.
He was withdrawn from the two-match Twenty20 international series which will complete what has been a dismal tour by Bangladesh.
Du Plessis was the top scorer in South Africa's 369 for six, their highest one-day total against Bangladesh and the highest total at the ground. Bangladesh were bowled out for 169.
It was another humiliating defeat for Bangladesh, who suffered defeats by ten wickets and 104 runs in the first two matches after similarly lop-sided losses in two test matches.
Bangladesh were hit by injuries, notably to leading bowler Mustafizur Rahman, who missed all three matches, and opening batsman Tamim Iqbal, who only played in one game.
"It was a big blow but we can't make any excuses," said captain Mashrafe Mortaza. "The rest of the guys have been playing brilliantly in the last three or four years."
LACK OF WICKETS
Mortaza said the failure of his bowlers to take wickets in South African conditions had been a major problem, while the batsmen had also failed, particularly on Sunday. "It was a brilliant wicket for batting," he said.
Du Plessis was named man of the match but could not collect his award. AB de Villiers, who took over the captaincy, said: "We have had a really good series. Today was probably our best performance because this wicket probably suited them (Bangladesh) the most."
Du Plessis looked set for a ninth one-day international century before he pulled up as he turned for a second run. He had to be helped off the field. He hit ten fours and a six and only faced 67 balls.
