Proteas v Bangladesh 1st Test post match - Faf du Plessis
Loading player...
Kagiso Rabada took on the responsibility of leading the attack in the absence of Morne Morkel in spectacular style as the Proteas thrashed Bangladesh by 333 runs with time and overs to spare on the final day of the first Test match at Senwes Park.
Rabada needed just 19 balls to blow away what was left of the Bangladesh top order with three wickets, including that of captain Mushfiqur Rahim to the third ball he send down.
For good measure Rabada also produced a bullet throw from the deep for a run out before Keshav Maharaj wrapped up what was left of the innings to finish with 7 wickets in the match. This gave him 50 wickets in only 12 Test matches to put him on the list of South Africa’s top performers to this landmark.
The Bangladesh innings lasted only 83 minutes as 7 wickets fell for 41 runs.
Only three of their batsmen reached double figures in this innings in a total of 90 all out. Maharaj finished with 4/25 and Rabada with 3/33.
Dean Elgar was named Man of the Match.
