SA VS BAN 1st Test: Complete First Day Inning

SA VS BAN 1st Test: Complete First Day Inning. The opening day of the much-anticipated SA vs BAN 1st Test at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur, Dhaka, proved to be a gripping contest between bat and ball. The first day saw a complete performance from the South African bowling attack as they managed to dismiss Bangladesh for a modest score of 106 in their first innings, followed by a resilient start from their batsmen, finishing at 140/6 at stumps on Day 1, leading by 34 runs.
Bangladesh Struggles Against South Africa’s Disciplined Bowling Attack
After electing to bat first, Bangladesh found themselves on the back foot early on, losing wickets at regular intervals. The South African bowling unit, led by Kagiso Rabada, Wiaan Mulder, and Keshav Maharaj, tore through the Bangladeshi lineup, never allowing the batters to settle.
Bangladesh 1st Innings: 106/10 (40.1 Overs)
Despite a fighting knock of 30 from Mahmudul Hasan Joy, Bangladesh’s batsmen struggled against South Africa’s pace and spin duo. Shadman Islam fell early without scoring, caught by Aiden Markram off Wiaan Mulder. Mulder continued his fine form, removing Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto for 7, reducing the hosts to 21/3 in the early stages.
The middle order offered little resistance, as Mushfiqur Rahim (11) and Litton Das (1) fell cheaply. Mehidy Hasan Miraz tried to steady the ship with a handy 13, but the lower order collapsed quickly, with the last four wickets falling for just 46 runs.
South Africa’s bowlers were relentless, with Rabada taking 3/26, Mulder contributing with 3/22, and Maharaj wrapping things up with 3/34. Dane Piedt also chipped in with a wicket, dismissing Mahmudul Hasan Joy for a well-fought 30.

South Africa’s Response: A Solid Start Despite Losing Wickets
In response to Bangladesh’s low total, South Africa made a solid start to their innings but faltered in the middle session. Aiden Markram fell early for 6, bowled by Hasan Mahmud. However, Tony de Zorzi and Tristan Stubbs stitched together a 41-run partnership, steadying the innings. De Zorzi was the anchor, scoring 30 off 72 balls, while Stubbs made a quick 23 off 27 balls.
Bangladesh’s left-arm spinner Taijul Islam was the star of their bowling attack, claiming a stunning 5/49 in 15 overs. Islam’s spell included the crucial wickets of Stubbs, David Bedingham (11), Ryan Rickelton (27), and Matthew Breetzke for a duck, putting South Africa under pressure at 108/6.
Despite the collapse, Kyle Verreynne (18*) and Wiaan Mulder (17*) batted with determination to take South Africa to 140/6 at stumps, ending the day with a 34-run lead.
