DAY 4: Rabada-inspired Proteas need 106 to win Bangladesh test

South African fast bowler Kagiso Rabada finished with figures of 6-46 on Thursday to bowl out Bangladesh for 307 on day four of the first test in Mirpur.

The tourists need 106 runs to win after Bangladesh conceded the last three wickets of their innings for just 24 runs inside half an hour.

Mehidy Hasan Miraz top-scored for the hosts with 97.

Resuming on 283-7, overnighter Nayeem Hasan departed lbw on the third ball of the day to a rampant Rabada.

An inswinger kept low and hit Nayeem's pad, sending him back without adding to his overnight total of 16.

Wiaan Mulder took the wicket of Taijul Islam for seven in the fourth over. Taijul tried to push to cover but only managed a thick edge to third slip.

Allrounder Mehidy fell three runs short of his second test century in the next over when he hit Rabada straight to Mulder at slip.

South Africa scored 308 in their first innings, powered by Kyle Verreynne's second test century, in reply to Bangladesh's 106 all out on the first day.

Bangladesh have never won a test against South Africa.

The second and final match of the series begins on October 29 in Chattogram.
