SA Win By 7 Wickets | Bangladesh vs South Africa Highlights of 1st Test 2024 Day 4: Kagiso Rabada, Kyle Verryenne Shine as Proteas Take 1-0 Lead

Bangladesh National Cricket Team vs South Africa National Cricket Team Highlights: Mehidy Hasan Miraz did fight back hard for Bangladesh and was still on the crease as BAN vs SA 1st Test day 3 ended due to bad light. Bangladesh struggled to take control of the Test match as South Africa always had the upper hand. South Africa took early wickets on day 3 where they dismissed set batters Mahmudul Hasan Joy and Mushfiqur Rahim. Litton Das also failed to lay some impact after getting dismissed cheaply. Mushfiqur Rahim Becomes First Bangladesh Batter To Reach 6,000 Test Runs, Achieves Milestone During BAN vs SA 1st Test 2024.
But a crucial partnership between Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Jaker Ali changed some things for the hosts as they both added up a few runs before Jaker Ali fell prey to Keshav Maharaj. Mehidy Hasan is on the crease alongside Nayeem Hasan going into day 4. Both batters will try to add a few more runs and get to a respectable total. But as we have seen, South Africa bowlers do take wickets early in the day. If Bangladesh can avoid the early storm of Kagiso Rabada, then there will be fewer problems for them. Rabada completed his four-wicket haul and has proven to be very economical as well.
Keshav Maharaj also managed to complete a three-wicket haul but other than Rabada and Maharaj, other Proteas bowlers are yet to take a wicket in the second innings. Proteas will be keen on taking early wickets as they will want the hosts to crumble. Bangladesh will look to add runs and the only way to do that is to survive the early wrath of Proteas bowlers.
