Bangladesh Wins Toss and Opts to Bat Against South Africa in First Test
- On Sunday, South African quick bowler Kagiso Rabada took three early wickets at the Wanderers, reducing Bangladesh to 22-3 before the tourists recovered to 91-3 by lunch on the opening day of the first Test.
- Captain Najmul Hossain Shanto won the toss and chose to bat under sunny Johannesburg skies, hoping the dry pitch would break up and create a difficult final-innings chase for the Proteas.
- Rabada dismissed debutant Mahfijul Islam first ball and Mominul Haque for a duck, before bowling Shanto with a 140km/h in-ducker that sent the off-stump cartwheeling.
- An unbroken 69-run partnership for the fourth wicket between Tanzid Hasan, unbeaten on 51, and Towhid Hridoy, on 23, helped the tourists recover after a poor start.
- Hridoy, who set a new highest score of 242 for Bangladesh in Tests last week against the West Indies, continues his strong form alongside Hasan as the match progresses.
