Live Cricket Score of Bangladesh vs South Africa, 2nd Test, Day 1 at Dhaka

The question is: Can the number one team in Tests dominate the team ranked ninth?

Going by the way things unfolded in the first Test, South Africa did not find it easy to tackle Bangladesh at home. Although they performed comparatively better with the ball and were going strong in the second innings, things could have turned either way had rain not washed out the final two days of the match.

They now have a lot of prove, a reputation to salvage. Funnily enough, their biggest fight will be against the weather, which remains just as indecisive as it was last week.

On the other hand, Bangladesh can use the rain to get themselves in a better position. If they emulate their performance from the previous Test, it will be enough to ruffle the visitors.
