Bangladesh vs South Africa 2nd Test at Chittagong
BAN vs SA, 2nd Test, Chittagong: South Africa crush Bangladesh to sweep series
Mar 2, 2008
Robin Peterson claimed three early wickets to help South Africa thrash Bangladesh by an innings and 205 runs in second and final Test cricket Monday.
Bangladesh was dismissed for 119 in its second innings after little more than an hour's play on the fourth day, chasing a massive victory target of 583 set by South Africa in its first innings. The home team was forced to follow on after it managed to amass just 259 in reply in its first innings.
Peterson dismissed Mushfiqur Rahim for four runs after he failed to add to his overnight score when he resumed the day with Abdur Razzak, who was unbeaten on 32 at the end of the match. The slow, left armed bowler also claimed Mohammad Rafique for a duck and Shahadat Hossain for 24.
Fast bowler Morne Morkel dismissed Mashrafe-bin-Mortaza for four to end the game as Aftab Ahmed did not return to crease after he was injured on Sunday. On Sunday, paceman Dale Steyn had figures of 3-4 to crush Bangladesh's top order. In the first innings, South Africa's Graeme Smith and Neil McKenzie set a Test opening partnership record of 415, topping the previous mark set in 1956 by India's Vinoo Mankad and Pankaj Roy. South Africa clinched the two match series 2-0 after winning the opening Test by five wickets.
