Team South Africa is currently on a tour of Bangladesh. A 2-match Test series is being played between the two teams. The South African team has started this series with a win. The first match of the series was played in Mirpur. In this match, South Africa’s team won by 7 wickets. This victory is very special for the South African team, because they won a Test match in Asia after 10 years. In the second over, Bangladesh’s team could not survive even 4 days in this match.

South Africa secured a dominant seven-wicket victory over Bangladesh in the first Test, largely thanks to Kagiso Rabada’s brilliant bowling performance. Rabada claimed six wickets in Bangladesh’s second innings, finishing with figures of 6/46 and achieving a total match haul of nine wickets. His remarkable effort included surpassing 300 Test wickets, making him the fastest to reach that milestone in terms of balls bowled.

Bangladesh resumed day four at 283-7, but Rabada quickly wrapped up their innings at 307, leaving South Africa a target of 106 to chase. South Africa reached this target in just 22 overs, with Tony de Zorzi scoring 41 and Tristan Stubbs remaining unbeaten with 30. The win also propelled South Africa up the ICC World Test Championship standings​.

As of October 2024, Rabada has taken over 300 wickets in Test matches, making him one of the fastest bowlers to achieve this milestone. Rabada reached 300 wickets in just 11817 balls, the fewest by any bowler in terms of deliveries bowled. His average remains impressive, hovering around 22.

Rabada is known for his incredible strike rate (under 40), aggressive bowling, and ability to deliver key breakthroughs, especially in tough conditions. He has secured 15 five-wicket hauls in Tests, underscoring his match-winning abilities. His best bowling figures in an innings are 7/112.
