South Africa v Bangladesh Second Test at Centurion
BAN vs SA, 2nd Test, Centurion: South Africa completes emphatic victory (SA 2:0)
Nov 28, 2008
Fiery fast bowling and lively fielding sent Bangladesh tumbling to their second successive innings defeat on the third day of the second and final Test against South Africa at Centurion Park.
South Africa won by an innings and 48 runs to clinch the series 2-0 after bowling out Bangladesh for 131 in their second innings. They won the first Test in Bloemfontein by an innings and 129 runs. South Africa's pace attack put the tourists under pressure from the start of their second innings and Bangladesh contributed to their own downfall with three run-outs, two from direct hits from the deep as the batsmen attempted second runs.
It was a disappointing ending for Bangladesh who briefly held the upper hand on the second day when they reduced South Africa to 134 for five after making 250 in their first innings.
Ashwell Prince and Mark Boucher turned the match decisively in the home side's favour with a South African record sixth wicket partnership of 271. Prince made a career-best 162 not out while Boucher scored 117.
Left-arm spinner Shakib Al Hasan took three wickets in four balls Friday morning to spark a collapse in which South Africa lost their last five wickets for 24 runs. Shakib finished with six for 99, his second haul of five wickets or more in two innings during the series.
