In a commanding display of cricket, South Africa triumphed over Bangladesh by an innings and 273 runs, completing a clean sweep of the two-match Test series at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chittagong. On day three of the second Test, South Africa enforced the follow-on after bundling out the hosts for 143 runs in their second innings, having previously dismissed them for 159.
The series showcased South Africa’s dominance in Test cricket, with the team entering the second Test after a seven-wicket victory in the opening match in Dhaka.
