‌BAN vs SA | Rabada and spinners clean sweep Bangladesh as Proteas bolster WTC Final chances



sa win muthusamy

Aiming to start off a new day on a positive note, the South African pair of Kagiso Rabada and Dane Patterson came haunting the hosts in the morning session of the third day. After three silent overs, the former induced the outside of overnight batter Najmul Hossain Shanto in the 13th over, paving the way for three more dismissals in the next couple of overs to leave Bangladesh bemused at 48/8. However, Mominul Haque played through the times of adversity with assistance from Taijul Islam for the second half of the opening session with the Tigers surpassing the 100-run mark. With Mominul getting past the half-century mark, Bangladesh’s score read 137/8 at Lunch. 

Resuming hereon, the Bangladesh duo looked comfortable until the introduction of Senuran Muthusamy in the 43rd over who immediately trapped the southpaw plumb in front for 82. Although Taijul tried to retain strike on as many occasions, he fell prey to Keshav Maharaj’s flighted delivery to end Bangladesh’s struggle at 159. 

Failing to avoid the follow-on, Bangladesh were South Africa’s disciplined bowling for the second time in the match. Shadman Islam and Mahmudul Hasan Joy failed to offer a decent start, falling to Paterson and Muthusamy in the sixth and eleventh over respectively. With the pitch offering grip to the spinners, Muthusamy and Keshav Maharaj further removed Zakir Hasan and Mominul Haque respectively at the cusp of Tea. 

Resuming from 43/4, the South African spin pair didn’t let the Bangladeshi batters settle with Mushfiqur Rahim, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, and Najmul Hossain Shanto faltering after Tea. While Taijul Islam looked to replicate his previous innings’ valiance, a false stroke in the 36th over led to his downfall. With Bangladesh trailing by 319 runs and two wickets in hand, this game looked almost done with the dusk setting in. Feeling the heat, Hasan Mahmud countered the Proteas bowlers with a few slogs – three sixes and a four – before Mahidul Islam Ankon’s departure in the 42nd over. Subsequently, Hasan smoked a couple of more sixes against Muthusamy in the 43rd over before the unit succumbed for 143, handing South Africa a monumental 273-run victory.
