SA vs BAN 2nd Test Results

9:51 AM IST It all started with South Africa putting up a mammoth total of 453, with all the batters making vital contributions. Dean Elgar, Keegan Petersen and Temba Bavuma notched up their half-centuries and Keshav Maharaj was the one who scored the most runs in the first innings. He scored 84 runs and guided South Africa over 400. Bangladesh came into bat and were troubled a lot by the seamers. They lost the first five wickets to the seamers and the last 5 to the spinners. Tamim Iqbal, Mushfiqur Rahim and Yasir Ali did put on a fight with the bat and they failed to go till the end. South Africa ended with a healthy lead of 236 runs. With all the batters contributing and most of the bowlers grabbing a wicket, it was a complete team performance for South Africa.

9:45 AM IST Dean Elgar decided not to enforce follow-on and they went out there to bat again and added quick runs. The intent was clear from them, they wanted to add quick runs, declare and grab a few wickets at the end of Day 3. That's exactly what happened. They got a lead of over 400 runs, declared, and managed to take three wickets at the end of Day 3. Coming into Day 4, South Africa bundled out Bangladesh for just 80 runs and clinched the series convincingly. Not to forget, South Africa have put a dominating performance in the full series without many of their key players. While Bangladesh failed to perform as a team and will be disappointed with their show.

9:43 AM IST 7 wickets for Keshav Maharaj and 3 wickets for Simon Harmer, the story was the same in the first Test as well. Bangladesh had no answers whatsoever. The spin twins, have wrapped up the Test match just within 1 hour of the first session on Day 4. Bangladesh batters were all over the place, a few of them just gave their wickets away in trying to play big shots, while others were simply bamboozled by the spinners.

9:42 AM IST Mominul Haque, the skipper of Bangladesh says he thinks they didn't play well as a team in both the matches, and he is disappointed but they also have to look forward. Adds that they play really well as a team but there was no partnership with the bat or the ball. Tells that they should be able to play in any condition in international cricket. Mentions they have to focus on the process, they were thinking of the result here rather than the process.
