Earlier, Mushfiqur Rahim became the first Bangladesh batsman to score a century against South Africa to spur his team to power Bangladesh to 278 for seven, their highest total against South Africa.

The previous highest score by a Bangladesh batsman in any form of international cricket against South Africa was 90 by Soumya Sarkar in a one-day international in Chittagong in 2015, while Bangladesh’s previous highest total against the hosts was 251 for eight when they won a World Cup match in Guyana in 2007.

Mushfiqur's fifth one-day century was a timely boost for a touring team battered to heavy defeats in two Test matches and who were hit by the absence through injury of two key players, opening batsman Tamim Iqbal and left-arm opening bowler Mustafizur Rahman.

Mushfiqur made his runs off 116 balls with 11 fours and two sixes. He shared successive partnerships of 59 with Shakib Al Hasan (29), 69 with Mahmudullah (26) and 42 with Sabbir Rahman (19) for the third, fourth and fifth wickets. 

Kagiso Rabada spearheaded South Africa's bowling attack, taking three for 43. Dwaine Pretorius took two for 48 but debutant fast bowler Dane Paterson conceded 69 runs in nine overs.

With this comprehensive win, the hosts have taken a 1-0 lead in the 3-match series, with the second ODI to be played at the Bolland Park on October 18.

Shakib Al Hasan became only the 2nd Bangladesh cricketer (after Tamim Iqbal) to score 5,000 ODI runs.

Bangladesh Shakib Al Hasan set a new milestone in ODIs during Bangladesh's first One Day International against South Africa at the Diamond Oval in Kimberley on Sunday.

Shakib Al Hasan became just the fifth cricketer ever to score 5,000 runs and scalp 200 wickets in the 50-over format of the game. 

Shakib Al Hasan  now joins the likes of Sanath Jayasuriya, Shahid Afridi, Jacques Kallis and Abdul Razzak in this illustrious list. 

Moreover, Shakib Al Hasan has become the fastest to the double of 5,000 runs and 200 wickets. 

Also, Shakib Al Hasan — who is the number one all-rounder in the world in all three formats of he game — became only the second Bangladesh cricketer (after Tamim Iqbal) to score 5,000 ODI runs. 

By crossing this milestone in just 178 matches and 168 innings, Shakib Al Hasan has surpassed the likes of Mohammed Azharuddin and Sanath Jayasuriya in list of least number of innings to cross the 5,000-run mark in ODIs.
