Hashim Amla and Quinton de Kock both registered centuries as South Africa beat Bangladesh by 10 wickets in the first ODI in Kimberley yesterday.

However, that score was not enough. Amla remained unbeaten on 110, while De Kock scored 168 not out to help South Africa reach the target with 43 balls to spare.
