Bangladesh’s batting order failed
Bangladesh’s batting order failed to put up a big score with only 4 players scoring in double digits. Mahmudal Hasan Joy was the top scorer with 30 runs. Captain Najmul Hossain Shanto was dismissed at 7 by Mulder. All-rounder Shakib Al Hasan though willing to play, had to opt out of the Test series owing to security concerns. The two-match Test series is the first international cricket fixture in Bangladesh since the massive protests that toppled the government.
The Bangladesh team was looking to reclaim its Test performance at the home ground, after facing a humiliating whitewash in their tour of India.
The series is also important as it carries points to the World Test Championship, with the final in England next year. South Africa is currently at the sixth position in the points table while Bangladesh is seventh.
In the second session, South Africa lost a wicket in the first over itself, where Hasan Mahmud dismissed South African captain Aiden Markram at just 6 runs. At the tea break, South Africa was 65/2.
