Bangladesh slumped to 18 for four after little more than six overs as Nel bowled Tamim Iqbal (nought), had Mohammad Ashraful (nought) caught at fine leg and forced Shahriar Nafees (five) to edge to back-up wicketkeeper AB de Villiers, while Nazimuddin (11) was trapped lbw by Charl Langeveldt.
But a 119-run fifth-wicket partnership between Shakib Al Hasan (52) and Raqibul Hasan (63), who claimed his maiden limited-overs half-century in 78 balls, helped the home side recover to 137 for four after 37 overs.
After Raqibul was caught at mid-on by Graeme Smith off Langeveldt to break the stand, South Africa picked up the remaining five wickets at the cost of just 36 runs to dismiss Bangladesh inside 50 overs and set themselves a required run-rate of just over 3.5 per over.
Mashrafe Mortaza (20) was the only other Bangladesh player to reach double figures as Dhiman Ghosh and Abdur Razzak were dismissed without troubling the scorers.
Langeveldt finished with figures of three for 31, while Johan Botha picked up the remaining Bangladesh wicket after having Shakib caught at short cover by Herschelle Gibbs once he had brought up his sixth one-day 50 in 90 balls.
