The Bangladesh cricket team, which went to play a bilateral series on the tour of South Africa, created a ruckus. Before the series, it was being speculated that the SA vs BAN ODI Series, 2022 would be a completely one-sided series and Bangladesh would return after drinking water. But, another side of the picture has come to the fore. Bangladesh beat South Africa by 38 runs in the first ODI of this series.
In this first win against South Africa, Bangladesh’s strong players Shakib Al Hasan and Taskeen Ahmed played an important role. Shakib Al Hasan played a terrific inning and Taskin Ahmed bowled the South African team with water.
