South Africa have climbed to fourth spot in the World Test Championship (WTC) standings after a seven-wicket win over Bangladesh in the first Test on Thursday.
The Proteas improved their point-percentage to 47.62 with the victory, which helped them jump over New Zealand and England and take fourth place on the standings.
Bangladesh's loss sees their point-percentage drop to 30.56 and they continue to languish in seventh place with India and Australia still remaining in the top two spots on the standings.
Bangladesh's Najmul Hossain Shanto won the toss and chose to bat first but the decision backfired as South Africa's pacers and spinners thrived in favourable conditions, bowling out Bangladesh for a mere 106.
