South Africa tour of Bangladesh 2024

[icyman]

The 2 -Test series starts today. South Africa being led by Aiden Markram. Bangladesh coming off a somewhat up and down last few months- winning a series vs Pakistan ad getting white washed by India. At the same time, they've lost/ gotten rid of Chandika Hathuraisnghe. Meanwhile Shakib is all set to play his last test match OR not!

1st Test- Mirpur 21st Oct - 25th Oct
2nd Test- Chattogram 29th Oct- 2nd Nov

So, Shakib isn't playing this Test. From media reports , seems 2 groups of people clashed outside the stadium. One group even called themselves "Shakibians"

Bangladesh following its neighbors- crumble in the 1st Test...60/6 right now!

Kagiso Rabada the fastest to 300 test wickets. An amazing achievement.

I thought his stats would have regressed a bit recently, doesn't seem to be as important a player for South Africa now. But if he keeps going at this rate he's probably going to overtake Steyn's record

He has age on his side, he's younger than Bumrah, it's really a question of how much test cricket South Africa play over the next four to five years.

This one should wrap up soon now. Unless Mehidy Miraz hangs around and protects the tailenders.

140 could challenge South Africa

Markram & Co go 1-0 up.

140 could challenge South Africa

The fact that they swatted away the 100 odd runs in a mere 22 over dash- 140 wouldn't have posed any challenges there. Say 240- definitely, yes. But then BD didnt have enough in them to muster up that many.
