About this performance of the Proteas some people will tell you “It’s only Bangladesh.” But hard to beat at home, at the end of 2023 NZ played a series with them in the Bdl and Aus and Eng both drew their last Test series in the Bdl

Proteas BEAT Bangladesh!!
Big innings and a 273 run win
A dominant away series win in the sub-continent, has been a long time coming
Our trip to the WTC Final is in our hands 🔥
The most satisfying part for me is the 4 centuries of this series pic.twitter.com/Sxu6Cy6rG4

Won the best series for SA and they are one step away from the WTC finals. As a protea fan, I am very happy with the schedule but on the other hand, this is a very bad arrangement which will favor the teams to advance to the WTC finals without breaking a sweat.

People tend to consider the West Indies’ fast-growing legacy as the greatest of all. But I think South Africa is up there, if not better.
They continue to produce all-time greats in every generation who love to surpass their predecessors.
Donald -> Steyn -> Rabada#BANvSA

Winning on the continent is hard enough. The Proteas leave Bangladesh with a strong series win! 🔥🫡 There are many good things but the best is to see the players finally step up and show their potential. #BANvSA

A complete shambolic performance from Bangladesh. Especially after Pakistan, this 2-0 v SA will impress them. India was expected but could not even compete in home conditions. It’s time for a major rethink at all levels. #BANvSA

Despite a century partnership in their first innings Bangladesh looked set to be bowled out twice in less than 100 overs. #WTC the last quest #BANvSA

Complete DOMINANCE with the Proteas in this series. BAN is a very good cricket team in their conditions and we made them look AVERAGE!! There are many good things to take away from this trip. Rabada 300 on the head. 4 years. The consistency of Mulder and the depth of Muthusamy!! PROTEAS🇿🇦!!#CricketTwitter pic.twitter.com/xmxTaPmSYH

This has to be the worst loss of the series for Bangladesh. I know they don’t have shakib but I still have Bangladesh 2.0 AT HOME. this series has always been sad, horrible fielding, stupid gun selection. And now the loss of the Innings here you are playing with me, badly. #BANvSA
