South Africa won Twenty20 International series by 2–0. Bangladesh won ODI series by 2–1. With this ODI victory, Bangladesh have won four consecutive ODI series in home soil, including series against Zimbabwe (5–0), Pakistan (3–0), India (2–1) and South Africa (2–1). This is the first ODI series victory against South Africa by Bangladesh. The Test series finished with both matches being drawn.
South Africa'sAB de Villiers was originally named as the captain for the ODI series. However, he was unavailable for the first match due to getting a one-match ban for bowling a slow over-rate in the2015 Cricket World Cup semi-final againstNew Zealand.[1] South Africa's management decided to release him for the other two matches, so he can spend time with his family, withHashim Amla taking over as captain.[1]
