A now familiar Proteas batting collapse will not be giving skipper Dean Elgar sleepless nights ahead of the second Test against Bangladesh starting in Gqeberha on Friday.
South Africa thrashed Bangladesh by 220 runs in the first Test at Kingsmead, Durban on Monday. With this win, South Africa took a 1-0 lead in the two-match series, and also climbed to second spot in the World Test Championship (WTC) points table, with four wins from six Tests so far. Bangladesh, on the other hand, are currently second from bottom, having won just one of their five matches.
Proteas Test skipper Dean Elgar said he was going to play two spinners in the first Test against Bangladesh regardless of the availability of his Indian Premier League contingent.
South Africa captain Dean Elgar said that the victory against Bangladesh in the 1st Test was 'pretty special' and added that it was a hard-fought win after Proteas defeated Bangladesh with massive 220-runs in the first Test to take a 1-0 lead in the two-match Test series here at Kingsmead, Durban on Monday. Bangladesh were bowled out for just 53 runs in the second innings, their second-lowest total in Test history. Keshav Maharaj finished the match with figures of 7/32 in 10 overs. Simon Harmer picked up the other three wickets as the Proteas finished with an opening Test match win.
Bangladesh's hopes of pulling off an historic first Test win against South Africa took a major blow when they made a horror start to their second innings at the end of the fourth day of the first Test at Kingsmead on Sunday. Bangladesh bowled out South Africa for 204 in the second innings, leaving themselves a target of 274 to win. Only six overs were possible before bad light ended play but South African spin bowlers Keshav Maharaj and Simon Harmer, sharing the new ball, reduced Bangladesh to 11 for three.
