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.

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.
