Bangladesh, ranked ninth in the world, beat the world's top-ranked side by 67 runs at the Providence Stadium in Guyana.

It was their second upset of the tournament, following a five-wicket success over India in the group stage and Bashar said: "After we beat India, it was hard to keep our feet on the ground but we have shown that we are a focused group because we have been able to come down to earth and follow up with another incredible performance," he said.

Bangladesh made 251 for eight and dismissed South Africa for 184 with eight balls left.

Bashar, who has had a disappointing personal tournament with just 62 runs from six innings, paid tribute to his young team, noting they were never afraid to accept a challenge.

"We were initially looking for between 230-240, so to get to 251 was a bonus," he added.

"We felt it was a good, competitive total and our bowlers really stuck to their task.

"We always felt South Africa would have to come good after that, particularly as the wicket was a lot slower than what they are used to."
