Commentary
That's it from this game! South Africa end up as comfortable winners of this series. Markram is presented with the trophy and he celebrates with his team. We hope you enjoyed our coverage. Until next time, goodbye and take care!
Aiden Markram says he's proud of the boys! They did really well in conditions which is not familiar. Credits Rabada for the way he bowled. They got to take it session by session, Test match by Test match!
Kagiso Rabada, PLAYER OF THE SERIES, says he's happy he got to bat first on this wicket. Credits the batters for the way they played. Mentions everybody contributed and everyone is willing to put their hand up. Ends by saying he needs to keep working hard and he hopes to keep going.
Tony de Zorzi, MAN OF THE MATCH, says he's very happy to contribute to the team. He just wanted to bat normally. Adds he hopes to continue his good form and he's able to do well.
Najmul Hossain Shanto says South Africa played really well but they were quite poor. Stated there's a lot to improve and they need to be a lot more consistent with the ball. States they need to improve in a lot of ways. Credits the ways Mominul Haque played. Ends by saying the senior players need to take responsibility.
South Africa did enforce that and it took them just over a session to take the 10 wickets again. This time it was the two spinners. They took 9 between them and have given South Africa and brilliant series win.
After declaring, their bowlers ran through the Bangladesh batting line-up. It was Rabada who was at his best. At one stage, Bangladesh were 8 down for below 50 and had it not been for Mominul, they would not have crossed the 100-run mark. They did manage to do so but were far behind the mark they needed to avoid a follow-on.
Another outstanding performance from the visitors! They have battered the hosts in this game! It was all about them right from the word go! First, they put up massive score on the board. They had three batters scoring tons and two of them with half tons.
