I don't recognise most of the current batch of South African players in the ongoing test against Bangladesh and I am genuinely surprised to see them whooping Bangladesh so badly in their own backyard.

We have always seen the Bangladesh team perform well on this pitch in Mirpur in the past matches. So my prediction about this series is that the match will be competitive. But the match is completely under the control of South Africa due to the poor performance of the Bangladeshi players. In this match Bangladesh will make a comeback in the second innings and the chances of the match becoming competitive is very low.

Bangladeshi batsmen are not playing well on this pitch but South Africa is batting well. Especially due to Kyle Verreynne's century, South Africa team was able to collect big. South Africa collected 301 runs for the loss of 9 wickets. And Kyle Verreynne remains unbeaten with 107 runs.

I thought I would see better bowling from Bangladeshi bowler Nayeem Hasan. But Nayeem could not take a single wicket. Taijul took 5 wickets and hasan Mahmud 3 wickets.

Looks like India or Australia aren't guaranteed to acquire their WTC final spots now which is actually a good thing since it makes the championship more competitive.

South Africa's lead is now 110 runs and Bangladesh has entered dangerous territory.
Their attack is packed with spin options for obvious reasons, and the pitch is only going to deteriorate from here, so this 100-run partnership between Wiaan Mulder and Kyle Verreynne could be a match-winning contribution. This duo batted well, but sloppy fielding did play some part. Just now, Mominul dropped a dolly on a short leg.
Bangladesh had to pack them up within the 200 to 220. But after lunch, South Africa had already scored 243 and was likely to add 50 more runs. If they get lucky, they can add additional to the board. Since Bangladesh is playing in their home condition, we expected a better performance this time. But seems like nothing changed. They are doing the same thing that they did in India.
I don't want to talk about the fielding much. They never been good in fielding except for some special cricketers. It seems like they are doing a government Jobs where is no competition once appointed. They can just relax and work. I think we will have the result soon.

I will not be surprised at all if Bangladesh lose this match by an innings. In the first innings, we saw very bad batting by the Bangladeshi batsmen. Bangladesh team lost all the wickets to collect only 106 runs. On the other hand, South Africa team collected 243 runs by losing 8 wickets. And the South African team has already managed to take a lead of 137 runs. Kyle Verreynne is batting responsibly. He is still unbeaten with 77 runs. It looks like South Africa will be able to take a lead of 150+. I don't think Bangladesh team will be able to collect 150+ in their second innings. The performance of Bangladeshi batsmen is very erratic and weak.

Patience and hard work are the keys to success.

This duo batted well, but sloppy fielding did play some part. Just now, Mominul dropped a dolly on a short leg.

India and Australia might be looking at Proteas' performance because, as far as WTC is concerned, SA might steal the spot for the finals if they continue this sort of performance and go to win an away tour (Their remaining series are scheduled against SL and PAK at home).   


South is currently in a reliable position. They chased Bangladesh's 106 runs in the first innings and gave a lead of 127 runs for 8 wickets. Considering the field and pitch, this lead is very big for Bangladesh. 5-day matches are rarely seen on the Dhaka pitch, as the pitch deteriorates day by day and becomes challenging for the batters. Spin bowlers have more advantage in this field. Survival on the pitch is the biggest challenge for the batters from Day 3 onwards.

On day 2 itself I would like to declare South Africa as the winning team. Because the match has already gone against Bangladesh. From such a situation if Bangladesh can score 350+ runs in their 2nd innings then the result of the match will come to 50% probability. But the average run of the 3rd innings of this ground in Dhaka is only 237. Bangladesh still have a chance to win the match, as batting in the 4th innings is much more difficult than the 3rd innings. If Bangladesh can somehow give South Africa a target of 150+ runs then there is some chance for Bangladesh to win. Considering Bangladesh's performance, South Africa's victory is almost certain. In the next matches, South Africa will play against Pakistan and Sri Lanka at home, I want to keep South Africa ahead from here.

South Africa's lead is now 110 runs and Bangladesh has entered dangerous territory.

I thought South Africa's innings would stop between 200-220. Because South Africa lost their 6 wickets yesterday. But South Africa started the day very well. Kyle Verreynne in particular remains unbeaten with 67 runs. Wiaan Mulder was also dismissed with 54 runs. South Africa collected 119 runs from this pair.

South Africa team has managed to take a lead of 121 runs. South Africa lost the wickets of Mulder and Maharaj in the last over. South Africa now collects 227/8. If the Bangladeshi bowlers can bowl well now, maybe South Africa will end the innings before 250.

If South Africa can score 220+, and take a lead of 120+, I think it will be a good collection for them. Because we know this pitch in Mirpur is spin bowling friendly. Bangladeshi players could not perform well in the first innings. There is a possibility that the Bangladeshi batsmen will be able to bat well in the second innings. Less because there is no batsman in the Bangladesh squad who can bat responsibly and play big innings. Bangladesh lost both Test matches badly as we saw against India. And I am sure Bangladesh team will not be able to win the test match against South Africa.
I don't think so that they will go above 220+ runs. Because the current situation is saying that they have lost six wickets and only made 140 runs. So this is looking difficult that they will go above 220+ runs.
If we talk about Bangladesh so they didn't play well because they made only 106 runs with all team out. But like you said if SriLankan team will go above 220 runs so that will be a good lead according to the recent performance of Bangladesh. But we can't underestimate them because they can make a good comeback in the second inning. Let's see what they both will do?
If South Africa can score 220 plus runs in their first innings against Bangladesh then it might be difficult for Bangladesh to overcome that. Because the pitch of this test match between Bangladesh and South Africa is spin friendly. As a result, the spin bowlers will dominate here as Taijul Islam of Bangladesh did against South Africa.

Today South Africa will start the second day of their first innings, so far they have collected 140 runs for 6 wickets. If Taijul Islam can give a great performance today like yesterday then it may be possible to bowl out the South African team before 200 runs. The less the Bangladesh team can restrict the South African team, the better for them because if South Africa are all out for fewer runs, the lead for Bangladesh will be less.
South Africa were 59 runs ahead at the end of the first day and will start the second day but if they can manage to score 250 runs then a competitive game can be had. Bangladesh batsmen have batted very poorly and the pitch there is spin friendly so both teams should bat well. It is quite surprising that 16 wickets have fallen on the first day itself which is a good piece for bowlers especially spin bowlers. Taijul Islam is the second bowler after Shakib Al Hasan to reach the milestone of 200 wickets in Tests and he is a rising player. Taijul took 5 wickets alone on the first day which is one of the best in his career.

However, I am hopeful that even if Bangladesh batsmen have played badly, they can do well in the first Test due to the performance of the bowlers. South Africa team is in a good position in Test cricket but they are trying to find out the reason for their batting performance being so poor. Their team management and the team's experienced bowler Rabada was a bit surprised by the behaviour of the wicket. Now let's see which team plays well and wins.

Some people here are being way too hard on Bangladesh in my opinion since the pitch is bowler friendly though their batsmen could have done better for sure. South Africa is struggling too primarily because of their new players.
This match could be competitive if Bangladesh score big in the second innings putting pressure on the South Africans. Let's see what happens.
Judging from the condition of the pitch, South Africa may lose their remaining four wickets within the first 15 to 20 over of day two. And 80 to 100 runs lead will give them a good advantage in this condition. The chance is very low for SA to take a lead above 100 runs. Bangladesh will lose the match pathetically if SA somehow manages to take a lead of 100 runs at least. I'm not expecting a good comeback from Bangladeshi batsmen in the second innings.

South Africa tour of Bangladesh
It is always a nightmare for SENA teams to play their matches in Bangladesh. And this time, the first test is scheduled to be hosted at the infamous Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur. The curators always prepare some dust-bowls, so that the Bangladeshi spinners can take undue advantage of the conditions. On the other hand, South Africa do have quality spinners this time, in the form of Keshav Maharaj, Dane Piedt and Senuran Muthusamy. This means that the conditions can easily backfire upon Bangladesh. 
I don't think their will be huge difference in Bangladesh team results even they has opportunity to played at thier home bowling favorable condition, thier previous whitewash several formats defeats against Indian has already damage thier moral and confidence so in my view things will be remain same as terrible for them and that's what exactly they has done now in thier first inning at home ground against south African team, shockingly thier entire team got departure just by scoring 100 around target combinely. No doubt it's completely new south African team but still they were able to done such achievement and I am sure they will put big number on board before thier innings break which can create difficulties for them and can lead them to another terrible defeat.

It didn't take too much of a prediction to say that New Zealand would win easily against India as the target from India was very limited in the first Test match for New Zealand. Basically a bad performance in the first innings defeated them in this match. The fact that the team which could not score 50 plus runs in the first innings scored 450 plus runs in the second innings is definitely positive for Team India. Maybe one match Team India lost but they still have two Test matches to turn around and if they play as planned they can definitely win these two Test matches. 

Sarfraz Khan did not praise this batsman because the way he batted in ODI style is undoubtedly admirable.

South African batsmen failed to capitalize the place South African bowlers have set them in. With 16 wickets falling in a single day we can say that the pitch in mirpur is not batting friendly. South Africa do have a small advantage and the two players in crease Kyle Verreynne and Wiaan Mulder seems set and they'll come with new energy tomorrow. South Africa would look to bat as long as possible as they have plenty of time to decide the result for this match. Though if the pitch remains same, much of it would be determined by the 2nd innings.

South Africa's bowlers put in an amazing performance as they picked up all the wickets of the Bangladesh team for the lowest score of 106 that has been chased by the South African batsmen and they are leading the score so far by 34 runs at the end of the day. Yes, South Africa lost a lot of wickets today but I think they can manage it at the same time, if their bowlers if bowl like this once again then it will be very great for the South African team and leading to win this game that I want and almost all the people want it too.

Bangladesh team had a very poor batting performance on the first day against South Africa in the first test match, the team scored only 106 runs. Although I would say comparatively they didn't score Test match runs but at the moment as South Africa are batting the ball, and they have met the target given by Bangladesh. The South African team did not have a good batting performance today, they lost 6 wickets, and they do not have a good batsman. In today's match maybe South Africa team will face a lot of challenge to give 50 runs lead, I think the stadium that is playing at present is bowling pitch.

The first day of the first test game has been finished and South Africa get very good lead in this day they can make it very hard and very strong in the further days but I think they have to use  the next whole day and then declare the innings or bat more than 70 to 80 overs tomorrow then declare the innings because South Africa have to win this game at any cost as they did such a hard work in the first match. Especially the credit goes to their bowlers as they picked back to back wickets of the Bangladeshi team.

However, I think South Africa will also face difficulties because they are also losing their wickets. If Bangladesh were all out for 106, then South Africa also didn't play well and have lost 6 wickets for 140 runs. Does the pitch have a role in this poor batting by both teams?

I have lost confidence in the players of the Bangladesh team, because not a single player is trustworthy. In terms of batting performance, they could not compete with the South African team in today's match. Mahmudul Hasan Jai scored 30 runs off 97 balls, Mushfiqur Rahim, Nazmul Hasan Shanto, Zaker Ali, Muminul Haque, Sadman Islam, and Liton Das all scored runs that would make any gambler lose faith in the Bangladesh team.
Because they lost 10 wickets in just 40 overs and collected only 106 runs. No gambler expected such a bad performance from Bangladesh team in the test match, so South Africa team has collected 140 runs and lost 6 wickets so far in this test match. And with the South African team leading by 34 runs, surely the next batsmen will perform well.
Recently Bangladesh team performance against India was not good from which it can be assumed that Bangladesh team is not in the same position as before. By their poor performance they loss to India. As far as I know Bangladesh team is very strong in their own venue but currently their poor form against the South African team suggests that they need to revamp their national cricket team. New cricketers have to be selected through competition. If a country's cricket board is corrupt then it will be difficult to bring their cricket back to a good position.

Bangladeshi fans may have taken things too lightly when South Africa scored 140 in the first innings of the first Test between South Africa and Bangladesh, but their minds changed when Bangladesh finished their innings before scored 140. They finished their 1st innings by scoring 106.

Yes, You are right Bangladesh give disappointing performance in first inning of test match all out in just 106 runs against South Africa. Bangladesh didn't take advantage of home condition like Pakistan team. South African team bowling performance is amazing especially Kagiso Rabada picked 3 important wickets by just giving only 26 runs and Wiaan Mulder also picked 3 crucial wickets by giving just 22 runs and helped South Africa all out Bangladesh team in a low runs. South Africa also bad start lost his 6th wickets in 108 runs then the 7th wicket partnership of more than 30 runs between Kyle Verreynne and Wiaan Mulder helped to lead runs. from Bangladesh Taijul Islam bowling performance is outstanding picked five wicket haul in just 15 overs.
