Bangladesh Vs South Africa News

South Africa beat Bangladesh by XX runs and enforced a 2-0 whitewash away from home. Despite a gritty 82 from Mominul Haque, the hosts incurred a follow-on, courtesy of Kagiso Rabada’s fifer followed by Keshav Maharaj and Senuran Muthusamy toppling them thick and fast in the second innings.

South Africa dominated with the bat, bolstered by centuries from Tony de Zorzi, Tristan Stubbs, and Wiaan Mulder, reaching a total of 577/6. However, Bangladesh struggled early in their innings, losing four wickets within ten overs to close the day at a precarious 38/4, trailing by 537 runs.

‘Firsts’ are always special and special moments often bring out the raw emotions of an individual. The feeling wasn’t different for South African opener Tony de Zorzi who plucked a leaf out of English Footballer Cole Palmer’s book with an eye-catching celebration after reaching his maiden Test ton.

Bangladesh gained the upper hand with a 138-run partnership between Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Jaker Ali, giving them an 81-run lead. Miraz was solid with the bat, finishing unbeaten on 87, while Jaker added a crucial half-century while Kagiso Rabada impressed with four wickets for South Africa.
