Weather Ruins Final Day in Chattogram

CHATTOGRAM: South Africa Emerging Men and Bangladesh Emerging had to settle for a draw on the final day of the first four-day match after inclement weather played a major role at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram on Friday.

Tshepo Ntuli took two wickets for the tourists on day four as the hosts were reduced to 41 for five, before recovering to reach 83 for five when the two captains eventually shook hands after 35 overs bowled on the day.

At that stage, the home side were 148 runs ahead – a margin that ultimately proved inconsequential. The series now moves to Dhaka for the final match of the tour that begins on Tuesday.

The South Africans will take plenty of heart heading to that game after coming back strongly in the first game. Having been bowled out with a 65-run first-innings deficit on Thursday, they ended the day strongly by reducing Bangladesh to five for two.

They continued to make inroads on day four when captain Shahadat Hossain (2) was removed with the fourth ball of the day, bowled by Andile Simelane (2/15) to leave the score at eight for three.

Aich Mollah (11) and Ariful Islam (14) momentarily stemmed the flow of wickets with their 24-run stand, but spinner Ntuli got rid of both of them to put the home side back into a fix at 41 for five.

However, Pritom Kumar (21*) and Moin Khan (18*) then dug in further with a stand that took their side right through to the eventual finish.

  1. Manufacturing rugby balls caused a very unusual and tragic death – In rugby’s early days, Richard Lindon’s leather shop was in high demand for balls. He enlisted the help of his wife Rebecca, but she tragically passed away due to the germs she ingested from the bladders while blowing them up. Lindon searched for an alternative to pig’s bladders from that point onward.
