South Africa Spin Bangladesh, Lead Two-Match Series 1-0
Spinners Keshav Maharaj and Simon Harmer spun a ruthless web around Bangladesh as the visitors were bowled out for just 53 within the first hour of day five's play, handing South Africa a 220-run win and a 1-0 lead in the two-match series at Kingsmead Stadium on Monday.
The main architect of Bangladesh's demolition was left-arm spinner Maharaj, who finished with figures of 7/32 in 10 overs, his career-best figures. Resuming from 11/3, Bangladesh wobbled spectacularly for 53 in just 19 overs, their second-lowest total in Test cricket and also the lowest innings score at this venue. Najmul Hossain Shanto (26) and Taskin Ahmed (14) were the only two batters who reached double digits for Bangladesh in their second innings.
