Wayne Parnell makes Rubel Hossain's first over an expensive one. A six disappears into the Sharjah stands, prompting a brief search for the ball, and a four through extra cover adds to Bangladesh Champions' opening difficulties.

That brisk start is part of Sports TV's broadcast of Bangladesh Champions against South Africa Champions in the World Championship of Legends. The stream drew nearly 400,000 views in its first eight hours, far beyond the channel's usual start for its long broadcasts. A separate full-match highlights upload is also running well ahead of the channel's usual pace for shorter videos.

South Africa choose to bat, with Faf du Plessis captaining in place of AB de Villiers and opening alongside Parnell. After the lineups and national anthems, Hossain takes the first over before Abu Jayed Chowdhury comes on for the second.

Sports TV has also broken the fixture into highlights, a post-match show and the presentation ceremony, giving this Bangladesh-South Africa meeting several entry points beyond the full broadcast.
