On Day 3 of the first Test match between Bangladesh and South Africa, South African pacer Kagiso Rabada delivered a remarkable performance, dismissing Mushfiqur Rahim with an outstanding delivery that left fans and players in awe.

Kagiso Rabada’s unforgettable delivery

The moment of brilliance came during the 32nd over of Bangladesh’s second innings when Rabada bowled a fuller-length delivery outside off stump that seamed in after pitching. Mushfiqur, who was batting confidently, pushed at the ball with minimal foot movement, creating a gap between bat and pad. The ball snuck through, dislodging the middle stump and marking Mushfiqur’s second dismissal by Rabada in the match. He finished with 33 runs from 39 balls. This delivery highlighted Rabada’s skill and precision, further establishing him as a nightmare for the Bangladeshi batting lineup.

Here is the video:

Rabada’s relentless pressure on the Bangladesh batting lineup has been evident throughout the match. By the end of the second session on Day 3, he had taken a total of four wickets in the second innings, solidifying his reputation as a nightmare for Bangladeshi batters.

South Africa’s outstanding bowling to dismantle Bangladesh

After South Africa got all out for 308 in their first innings, taking a lead of 202 runs, Bangladesh’s response in their second essay has been shaky. At the end of the second day, they managed to score 101 for the loss of three wickets, but the pressure intensified on Day 3. They were 267 for 7 by the end of the second session.

Despite the setbacks, Mehidy Hasan Miraz has emerged as a standout performer for Bangladesh, scoring a commendable 77 , which included eight fours and a six. His resilience at the crease has provided some hope for the team. Additionally, Jaker Ali made a notable impact on his debut, contributing a solid 58 when Bangladesh needed stability and runs the most. His performance on such a significant stage underscores his potential as a valuable asset for the team moving forward.

Rabada’s prowess have been complemented by the efforts of Keshav Maharaj, who has also made his mark on the game. The left-arm off-spinner took three crucial wickets in Bangladesh’s second innings, furthering the pressure on the home side.
