South Africa prepared for victory, raised a mountain against Bangladesh, Rohit and Cummins in tension


New Delhi. South Africa has increased the problems of many other teams including the host by performing brilliantly against Bangladesh. The African team has scored 527 runs for 6 wickets in the second test match against Bangladesh. If the South African team, which has won the first Test, also wins the second match, then it will take a huge leap in the WTC points table, which can increase the tension between India and Australia.

The second test match between South Africa and Bangladesh is being played in Chittagong. South Africa had scored 307 runs for 2 wickets on the first day of the match. The visiting team started playing with this score on Wednesday, the second day of the match. Tony De Georgi (177), who scored a century on the first day, was out after coming close to a double century on the second day.

After this, Viaan Mulder and S. Muthusamy took charge. Both of them took South Africa from 423 runs by 6 wickets to 527 runs. At the time of tea break, Viaan Mulder was unbeaten on 78 and Muthusamy was unbeaten on 47 runs.

If South Africa wins this match, it will have 54.16 points (winning percentage) in the WTC points table. With this, he/she will come third in the points table. In the points table, India is currently at first place with 62.82 points (winning percentage) and Australia (62.50) is at second place. This performance of South Africa must be troubling Indian captain Rohit Sharma and Australian captain Pat Cummins. If South Africa continues to play like this then it will make it to the top-2, which would mean India or Australia slipping to the third position.
