Farewell to Joy along Zakir’s route
As soon as Bangladesh bats, the batting pitch becomes a bowling pitch. The proof of that was once again seen in the Chittagong Test. Bangladesh’s top order is writing in the process of losing wickets.
Mahmudul is now out after Sadman-Zakir. The opener was caught by Markram while playing a drive off Dane Patterson. Scored 10 runs before the out.
Now Zakir also went
Zakir also went back without cutting Sadman’s out. This opener is locked in a cycle of continuous failure. He managed to reach 40 only once in 8 innings of the 4 Tests of the tour of Pakistan and India. He scored 2 runs off 8 balls in the first innings in Chittagong.
Rabada’s length ball was going outside the off, thinking that Zakir continued to bat. Well, the ball kissed his bat and landed in the keeper’s glove. Verena appealed. The umpire raised his finger.
Zakir took the review. But it was no use, it was clearly seen in the reply that the ball had been kissed. Rabada picked up his second wicket.
Bangladesh lost the wicket on the fifth ball:
Bangladesh lost their wicket on the fifth ball of the innings. Kagisu Rabada’s ball sent Sadman Islam back to the crease after being caught by Kyle Verreini behind the wicket. He returned to the dressing room after playing 6 balls without scoring any runs.
577 runs. Africa innings announced:
South Africa has announced the innings by picking up 577 runs for 6 wickets after beating the Bangladesh bowlers. Three of the eight batsmen who have batted have seen centuries. Two made half centuries. Tony Di Georgi 177, Tristan Stubbs 106 and Wian Mulder remained unbeaten on 105 with 8 fours and 4 sixes. Apart from this, Senuran Muthusamy scored an unbeaten 70 with 5 fours and 2 sixes and David Bedingham scored 59 runs.
Taijul Islam of Bangladesh picked up the 14th Fifer of his career. Besides, Nahid Rana took the other wicket.
Mulder’s Fifty
Mulder is spreading light with the bat in Chittagong as well. Mulder, who scored 54 runs in the only innings in Mirpur, also got a fifty in the first innings in Chittagong. Along with that, he also made a fifty spread partnership in the seventh wicket with Mutusamy.
The first victim is Nahid Runner
South Africa lost five wickets in the first session. All were taken by Nahid Rana. Pacers got their first wicket in the second session. Nahid Rana saw success after lunch. He returned Ryan Rickelton.
Nahid’s back of a length delivery pitches out to the angle. The left-handed Rickelton continued standing in front of the keeper after punching the ball. The ball touches the edge of the bat and goes into the keeper’s gloves. Rickelton returned with 12 runs. South Africa 423 for 6.
Senuran Muthusamy returns to the new batsman team.
South Africa’s four hundred
Despite losing three wickets quickly, South Africa crossed the 400-run mark. The Proteas went into the mid-day break after passing four hundred with the bat of Ryan Rickelton and Vian Mulder. Rickelton crossed the team’s four hundred by hitting Mehdi Hasan Miraj for a six and a four.
29 overs were played in the first session. The run was 106. Bangladesh took 3 wickets. South Africa scored 3.66 runs per over. All in all, the first session was good for both teams.
Taijul’s 5 wickets
Half a wicket has fallen in South Africa’s innings. Taijul Islam took all the wickets. Kyle Verena has been sent off by Pfeiffer.
South Africa lost 2 wickets to score 386 runs. From there the Proteas lost 3 wickets to get 5 more runs on the scoreboard. With these 3 wickets, Taijul has five wickets. This spinner took 8 wickets in the first Test of the series.
Taizul again
Taijul Islam picked up back to back wickets. Bedingham came in the next over and picked up Georgi, who was standing as a thorn in Bangladesh’s path. His innings ended with 177 runs.
Georgie got out while sweeping. Taijul’s ball along the middle-leg stump hits the pads for this opener. The umpire also responded to the request. De Giorgi took the review. Didn’t work.
Bangladesh is relying on Taiju
Looking at the state of the team, it would seem that there is no bowler in Bangladesh except Taijul. Taijul took all three wickets in South Africa’s first innings. This time his victim is Bedingham.
Bedingham hits Taijul’s first ball for a six. He wanted to hit a six on the next ball as well. But not this time. Bedingham misses Taijul’s delivery, bowled.
Bedingham was dismissed for 59 runs.
Bedingham’s Fifty
The question may arise whether it is the fault of the pitch or the bowling lineup of Bangladesh. The South African batsman touches his fifty. This time Bedingham got fifty.
David Bedingham reached his fifty off 70 balls with a single off Mehdi Hasan Miraj. This is the batsman’s third fifty in the eighth Test. There is a century.
George’s one hundred and fifty
Georgi is not giving Bangladeshi bowlers any chance. He has already crossed the 150-run mark by playing fluently. Running towards two hundred. The opener reached his 150 by leaving the crease off Taijul’s ball.
His 150 off 235 balls with 11 fours and 2 sixes. He hit another boundary off the next ball
Fifty of the pair
Bangladesh bowled tight in the morning. But no wicket came. In the meantime, David Bedingham and Tony De Georgie are building a partnership of fifty runs. De Georgie’s 23 runs in the pair, Bedingham’s 28.
Umpire’s mistake in the morning
In the second over of the day, David Bedingham could not play Hasan Mahmud’s light inside ball. The ball hits his pads. Umpire Joel Wilson gave a finger to the strong appeal of Bangladesh. However, the batsman took the review immediately.
It can be seen from the review that the bat feels very good on the bat before it hits the pad. There is quite a sound of hitting the bat. The batting was so obvious that the third umpire didn’t even feel the need to look at the ultra-edge.
What is the goal of Bangladesh?
South Africa in the driver’s seat in Chittagong Test. South Africa scored 307 runs losing 2 wickets after playing 81 overs on the first day. Centuries were scored by Di Georgi and Stubbs. Today they want to increase this collection and climb to the top of Ran Pahar.
So what is the goal of Bangladesh? The morning of the second day should be in Bangladesh. Two pacers Hasan Mahmud and Nahid Rana should shine as new ball. Because the ball is new, only 1 over was played with this ball yesterday. Let’s see if the bowlers can take advantage of the new ball!
