Actually, the last and decisive match of the two-Test series between the two teams is going on at the Zahoor Ahmed Chaudhary Stadium. South African fast bowler Kagiso Rabada came to bowl the first over of Bangladesh's innings. For Bangladesh, Shadman Islam and Mahmudul Hasan Joy took the responsibility of opening. Even though the first ball was a dot, Bangladesh got five runs as penalty due to South African player Senuran Muthusamy running on the pitch.
No ball, wide and four
Angered by this incident, Kagiso Rabada bowled the next ball as a no ball. The ball was so far outside the leg stump that it hit a wide four and five more runs were scored without the ball registering. In this way, a total of 10 runs were added to Bangladesh's account with one legal delivery. Such an incident is rarely seen or heard in the history of cricket, when 10 runs are scored without bat-ball contact. However, Rabada dismissed Shadman Islam in the same over without opening the account.
Bangladesh's condition is bad
Talking about the match, after declaring its first innings at 575 runs for six wickets, South Africa strengthened its hold on the match by taking four wickets for Bangladesh's 38 runs. At the time of stumps, Mominul Haq was batting on six runs while captain Nazmul Hasan Shanton was batting on four runs. Three players scored centuries for South Africa, which won the first Test of the two-match series by seven wickets. Tony Di Georgi contributed 177 runs while Viaan Mulder contributed 105 not out. Tristan Stubbs had scored 106 runs on the first day of the match. Bangladesh's left-arm spinner Taijul Islam took five wickets for 198 runs, but he did not get good support from any bowler from the other end. South Africa started the day at 307 runs for two wickets.
