Kagiso Rabada, Wiaan Mulder, and Keshav Maharaj each claimed three wickets.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Bangladesh\u2019s spinners fought back, with Taijul Islam and Mehidy Hasan sharing seven wickets between them. However, a resilient century from Kyle Verreynne, supported by Mulder (54) and Dane Piedt (32), helped South Africa build a commanding 202-run lead.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In the third innings, South Africa\u2019s bowlers, led by Rabada, once again dominated, reducing Bangladesh to 112\/6. Mehidy Hasan (97) offered strong resistance, forming crucial partnerships with the lower order to push the total to 307. Rabada ended with impressive figures of 6\/46, his best in Asia.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Chasing 106, South Africa faced little difficulty, with Tony de Zorzi (41) and Tristan Stubbs (30*) guiding them to a seven-wicket victory.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In the third innings, South Africa\u2019s bowlers, led by Rabada, once again dominated, reducing Bangladesh to 112\/6.
