GQEBERHA, South Africa : Bangladesh left-arm spinner Taijul Islam took 6-135 but the touring side are behind in the game after they limped to 139 for five at the close on day two of the second and final test against South Africa on Saturday.
Proteas spinner Keshav Maharaj lauded the batting depth within their side following South Africa's dominant performance on the second day of the second Test against Bangladesh in Gqeberha.
GQEBERHA: All-rounder Wiaan Mulder took three wickets in quick succession to put South Africa on top on the second day of the second Test against Bangladesh at St George's Park in Gqeberha on Saturday (Apr 9).
Taijul Islam took 6-135 but the touring side are behind in the game after they limped to 139 for five at the close on day two of the second and final Test against South Africa on Saturday. Bangladesh are still 314 runs behind their hosts’ total of 453 all out at St George’s Park and their first aim will be to avoid the follow-on when Mushfiqur Rahim (30 not out) and Yasir Ali (8 not out) resume on the third morning. Seamer Wiaan Mulder (3-15) has been the pick of the home bowlers, removing Tamim Iqbal lbw for a brisk 47.
Keshav Maharaj scored an attacking half-century and Wiaan Mulder's triple strike saw the Proteas dominate day two of the second Test against Bangladesh at St. George's Park on Saturday.
Keshav Maharaj's vivid intensity as he bowled the Proteas to a first Test win at Kingsmead since 2013 wasn't pent-up frustration, merely just a "hunger and desire to win a game for your country".
South African spinners Keshav Maharaj and Simon Harmer sent Bangladesh crashing to a 220-run defeat on the fifth day of the first Test at Kingsmead on Monday. Maharaj took seven for 32 and Harmer three for 21 as Bangladesh were bowled out for 53, their lowest total against South Africa. Resuming at 11 for three, Bangladesh lost their remaining seven wickets for 42 runs in less than an hour. The experienced Mushfiqur Rahim was dismissed in the first over of the day, leg before wicket to Maharaj when he played down the wrong line of a ball which hurried through straight.
Keshav Maharaj said the hard work put in as he went wicketless through Bangladesh’s first innings paid dividends after he took 7-32 in the second to lead South Africa to a dominant 220-run victory on Monday. Left-arm spinner Maharaj bowled 37 overs without reward in Bangladesh’s opening total of 298, but was devastatingly effective in helping restrict them to a paltry 53 in pursuit of their victory target of 274.
