DURBAN, South Africa —
South African spinners Keshav Maharaj and Simon Harmer sent Bangladesh
crashing to a 220-run defeat on the fifth day of the first Test at Kingsmead on
Monday.

Maharaj took seven
for 32 and Harmer three for 21 as Bangladesh were bowled out for 53, their
lowest total against South Africa.
Resuming at 11 for
three,
Bangladesh lost their remaining seven wickets for 42 runs in less than
an hour.
The experienced
Mushfiqur Rahim was dismissed in the first over of the day, leg before wicket
to Maharaj when he played down the wrong line of a ball which hurried through
straight.
Liton Das fell to a
soft shot in Maharaj’s next over, flicking a simple catch to Harmer at wide
mid-on, and Maharaj made it three wickets in three overs when he bowled Yasir
Ali with a ball which spun past the edge of Yasir’s defensive push.
The rest of the
batting crumbled with only
Najmul Hossain putting up any significant
resistance, scoring 26 off 52 balls.
The two spinners
bowled unchanged through the innings. They shared the new ball in fading light
on Sunday evening and captain Dean Elgar continued with the pair on Monday.
