South Africa asserted its dominance over Bangladesh on the opening day of the first cricket test, with Bangladesh struggling at 60-6 by lunch. Fast bowlers Wiaan Mulder and Kagiso Rabada executed excellent spells, leaving the home team in disarray.

Mulder claimed three crucial wickets early on, setting Bangladesh back significantly. His spell was complemented by Rabada, who shattered veteran Mushfiqur Rahim's stumps for his 300th test wicket, an iconic moment for the South African bowler.

Despite the precarious position, opener Mahmudul Hasan displayed some resilience. South Africa, led by Aiden Markram, seeks to notch up a rare subcontinental victory, aiming to maintain its unbeaten test record against Bangladesh.
