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.
After the end of First day of test match ,South African team made 140 runs with fall of 6 wickets and South African team is leading by 34 runs. South African team is playing well because they are leading this match and they will win this match easily by high margin and they have 4 wickets in the hand and also they will play one more inning and only one day end and four days are remaining. Verreynne is not out and he will play well tomorrow and we will see good batting from South African team side . Mulder also played well in this match and made 17 runs so far . Only one player made 30 runs from Bangladesh side and no other batter played well and weare watching low score match.

Mirpur's pitch is spin friendly. It is very difficult to collect big on this pitch. The Bangladesh team naturally faced a batting disaster. Looking at their batting, I thought the team would not be able to score even 100 runs. Even then, the team managed to collect 106 runs till the end. But this is a very short collection, even though the pitch is bowling friendly.
The South African team did not get off to a good start. South Africa is losing wickets very fast. At the end of the first day, South Africa managed to collect 140 runs and lost 6 wickets. South African batsmen are batting very carefully but the team is not able to survive at the crease.
Kagiso Rabada, Wiaan Mulder and Keshav Maharaj bowled well in the South African squad. Each took three wickets. On the other hand, only Taijul Islam is able to bowl well among the Bangladeshi bowlers. Taijul Islam took 5 wickets and Hasan Mahmud took one wicket.

A really bad start for Bangladesh, they have been suffering with the form for months now and it continues. The last series they played, were clean swept by India on both test and T20 series. But they had not scored anything as low as 106 on any innings or T20s.
Bangladesh kept on losing wicket on regular intervals, only Mahmudul Hasan Joy was able to score above 20 and seven of them were out in single digits.
It is going to be an easy win for South Africa as they'd start on the first day and has enough time and batting capacity to create a huge score. No miracle could save Bangladesh now.
After the Indian test series, Bangladesh again started their shit performance at their own home ground. It is believed that they managed to score only 106 runs in forty overs, losing all their wickets. However, where the batsmen in Bangladesh have failed by performing badly, it appears that the Bangladeshi bowlers are trying to make them. As the South African team already lost six of their wickets, they also managed to score only one hundred and eight runs. Bangladesh kept on losing wicket on regular intervals, only Mahmudul Hasan Joy was able to score above 20 and seven of them were out in single digits.

Gradually the people of Bangladesh have forgotten to enjoy the game of cricket in Bangladesh, especially in Test cricket, Bangladesh has performed so badly that it hurts the hearts of the fans. What game is Bangladesh showing at its own home venue today? If the top order five batsmen are out in the first session, it is only a matter of time whether the next five batsmen can bat till 10 overs. It would be much more enjoyable to spend time lying around the house than enjoying the play of Bengal cats.
Bangladesh has been playing cricket for a long time. And the important thing is that the most popular sport of Bangladesh is cricket. However, the team has no international titles. Bangladesh is a very bad team at present. Afghanistan team is much more experienced and stronger than Bangladesh at the moment. But Afghanistan team is new compared to Bangladesh. Bangladesh could not win any World Cup, besides this team is capable of winning the title of Asia Cup or Tri Nation Series. So naturally the people of Bangladesh are reluctant towards cricket.
We saw Bangladesh's terrible performance against India. Bangladesh lost both the Test matches and each of the T20 series. But now I see a very bad performance of Bangladesh against South Africa in the home match. We know this team is strong in home series. But now Bangladesh is not able to play well even in home matches.
Bangladesh lost their seventh wicket for 76 runs. Now Jaker Ali is at the crease. Apart from Mahmudul Hasan Joy, no other batsman in the squad can survive at the crease for long.
Bangladeshi cricketers cannot be commented on when they are on the wicket as they can get out at any time. When I started writing the post the wicket was 6 and the run was 70 but when I finished the post the run was 76 and the wicket was 8. It is not possible to write the score correctly in Bangladesh cricket.
Bangladesh Cricket Board is quite rich. BCB has a lot of money. And since cricket is very popular in Bangladesh, finding a big sponsor is not a difficult task for BCB. We don't see any improvement in the Bangladesh team despite having a lot of money. We can see the deterioration of this party day by day. Bangladesh team is in a very bad condition in Test and T20 format even though they can do a little bit in ODI format.
Bangladesh managed to collect only 106 runs against South Africa. Even though the pitch is not batting friendly, it is very difficult to survive with such a small collection. South Africa's top order is not playing very well. Still I don't think taking a 150+ run lead will be a difficult task for South Africa. South Africa lost their third wicket by 72 runs.

There is nothing surprising to see such bad batting of Bangladesh batsmen. We have seen such bad batting by Bangladeshi batsmen against India as well. Bangladesh has always been a weak side in Test format. I think this team should not host test matches.
We knew the Bangladesh team to be strong in the home match. Despite not winning the away match, the Bangladesh team was able to defeat almost all the big teams at home conditions. It is difficult to beat Bangladesh on the pitch of Mirpur.
However, Bangladesh made a very bad start against South Africa. Bangladesh team collected only 106 runs. But I would have been happy if Bangladesh could have collected around 200. Because Mirpur's pitch is not batting friendly. It will not be easy for South Africa to collect big.

Bangladesh has not forgotten how to enjoy the game, they just need to coach better team players like Shakib Al Hassam who is one of Bangladesh cricket team experience players.I believe if Bangladesh trains their team to be strong and better then they will do better in their game because Bangladesh is known to be good at playing cricket. And their recent loss to India indeed hurt a lot of fans so if they could get their team back up and have different skill player like Sakib then the Bangladesh team will do well again in cricket games.
It's not like it's a completely bad idea to go out and watch other teams, maybe watching them play will help you study the pattern they play, so you can suggest it to Bangladesh team as a fan.

Verbal diarrhea from Shaun Pollock and another commentator on comms (BAN vs SA).
Talking about balanced pitches in test cricket. Ranting about spin pitches and giving examples of Windies pitches having too much grass on deck in the past. Not once, these gentlemen bring their home country, where spin doesn't feature in the playing XI, and if it does, it's just for resting seamers when changing ends.
In fact, they didn't mention any SENA country conditions and then went on about pitch should be fair for everyone.

I was very surprised to hear you watching this match because Pakistan was not able to beat England. Nor was England weak enough to defeat Pakistan. But Pakistan has proved by winning this match that even strong teams can be defeated if they play with hard work and good performance. Although they did not have such a difficult target in both innings that England could not meet. In the first innings, Pakistan set a target of only 366 and England chose only 291 runs in the first innings. Pakistan scored 221 runs in the second innings and England scored 144 runs in the second innings. With this, Pakistan won the match by a huge margin of 152 runs. If Pakistan shows such a performance in the next match as well, it will win the match as well as the series. Congratulations to Pakistan for this win.
Here is the rest for the players for few days until on 24th October there is the next match of England vs Pakistan. As we know Pakistan has just won their second game in this test series after a long time, they won their last game in 2023. It was their first test victory in 2024. I think in the next match Pakistan will go with the same squad and for sure Sajid Khan and Noman Ali will be part of the next game. I am pretty sure now they will always be a part of the Pakistan team in test matches. Because this test match highlights their names and they have proved themselves to be valuable for the team.
India may have lost all the wickets before they realized in the first innings that they had no chance. Their performance in the 2nd innings was so good that they scored much more than New Zealand. I won't blame their players for such situations because an accident can happen anytime. India managed to score 46 runs in the 1st innings while New Zealand scored 402 in the 1st innings. India could not secure the match win despite scoring 462 runs in the innings due to a big difference and the mistakes of the first innings, they had to forget the match itself. However, it is not possible to get such an opportunity in the 2nd and 3rd Test, In my prediction India can win the Test series by winning the next two matches.
New Zealand chased the target and won the game very easily, they chased it without any little bit of a pressure, calmful game for them because they started good, the credit for this win clearly goes to bowlers because they did very well in the first innings that cause New Zealand's won otherwise maybe New Zealand would lose this game but now I think India will surely take the revenge of this lose in the next game. Let's see. So far the New Zealand team is leading the series, they are confident, but the Indian team mood is in anger because they are in their own country and you won't keep the Indian team down at their home ground.
South Africa tour of Bangladesh
Another test series is going to start tomorrow. Already two test series are running between India and New Zealand and the second one is between Pakistan and England. But from tomorrow the series between Bangladesh and South Africa is going to start. Just some time before Bangladesh team whitewashed by the India team across all formats including test matches, one day matches and also in T20 matches. Now that is why I think once again they are going to lose this game but at the same time 13 to 14 days ago South Africa lost a one day match against Ireland so expect the unexpected too
Both teams having bad results in their last series, South Africa won against West Indies in August but lost two test matches against New Zealand.

Both teams having bad results in their last series, South Africa won against West Indies in August but lost two test matches against New Zealand.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.

India might have won this match if not for such a terrible batting in the first innings. India managed to collect only 46 runs in the first innings. If India could have collected around 200 in the first innings, the match would have been very competitive.
However, in the second innings, India's top order batsmen batted very responsibly. Especially because of the innings of Sharfaraz and Rishab Pant managed to collect big. But I expected to see better batting from KL Rahul and Jadeja. India could have scored 500+ only if these two batsmen had batted well. If the target was 200+ it would have been difficult for New Zealand to win.
Yes you are right India lost due to poor batting in first innings. Scoring only 46 runs hurt their chances. The second innings were better especially Sharfaraz and Rishabh Pant played really well and due to them India went above 400 runs. But KL Rahul and Jadeja did not do well. India could have scored over 500 if these two batsmen performed better but almost they need 600 to 700+ runs if they want to compete with New Zealand. This would have made it harder for New Zealand to win. India needs consistent batting to succeed. However, in the second innings, India's top order batsmen batted very responsibly.

Despite the effort made by Indian batsmen in the 2nd innings the total they made in the first innings dragged them down and now it's an easy target for New Zealand to follow. Almost all of the primary batsmen of India recovered from the disastrous 1st innings, Sharfaraz making 150, Rishab Pant missing a century by 1 run, Virat and Rohit both with half centuries but none of them are historical records or enough to get India to better position for this match. There are prediction or rain in the early morning and evening in Bengaluru but most of the day, it is going to be clear.
Indian batsmen have scored such good runs in the second innings, if they could have scored the same runs in the first innings, they could have won the match. You are right that New Zealand has made their condition very bad. The Indian batsmen scored 462 runs in the second innings but the New Zealand batsmen scored 110 runs as their first innings total of 402 runs would have been more than India's target. The match is won. I still hope that New Zealand will win the match but out of these matches India will definitely win one match. New Zealand will win the series. India has shown a very poor performance in this match due to which they lost. 
If rain keeps interfering again and again, NZ are screwed. This match will end as a draw if that happens or if India collapse which seems unlikely to me. Great fightback India.
I'd back Indian bowlers to defend the total on 5th day pitch, even if it's around 180-200 runs.
Some people are backing India to win this match while others still think New Zealand are in a comfortable position. I think the most popular opinion can be determined by looking at what the bookies are offering odds at this moment.
With India, they are offering 3.30 odds which clearly suggests that New Zealand is still considered the favourite to win this match. I do not know how they calculate odds because as current situation i rekon India has more winning chances as compared to the New Zealand team.
