Rabada takes six wickets to lead South Africa over Bangladesh in the 1st cricket test

MIRPUR, Bangladesh (AP) -- Fast bowler Kagiso Rabada claimed six wickets for 39 runs to help South Africa secure a seven-wicket victory against Bangladesh in the first cricket test on Thursday and take 1-0 lead in the two-match series.

Rabada helped dismiss Bangladesh for 307 in its second innings, leaving South Africa 106 for victory. It completed the inevitable by reaching 106-3 in 22 overs just before the lunch session on Day 4.

Bangladesh was bowled out for 106 in the first innings and South Africa replied with 308 all out, taking a 202-run lead.

Resuming the day at 283-7 and 81 runs ahead, Bangladesh failed to make any impact as Rabada and Wiaan Mulder sliced through the hosts with the second new ball.

Rabada struck in the first over, trapping Nayeem Hasan leg-before for his overnight 16 to complete his 15th five-wicket haul in test cricket.

Left-arm spinner Taijul Islam, who took 5-122 in the first innings, picked up all three South African wickets.

The second and final test is at Chattogram beginning next Tuesday.
