The second Test between Bangladesh and South Africa ended in a draw as the match has been called off early on the fifth day due to wet outfield, after three successive washed-out days by rain, at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur on Monday, reports UNB.
The two-match Test series finished fruitless 0-0 as the first match also ended in a draw in Chittagong, but Bangladesh gained six points for their plucky performance in both the matches. They raised their Test rating points tally to 47 from 41.
Bangladesh were at stumps 246 for 8 in 88.1 overs with Nasir Hossain unbeaten on 13 at the wicket in the first innings of the second Test on day one.
South African bowler Dale Willem Steyn enjoyed most of his success in the second Test as he joined a selected group of bowlers to claim 400 wickets. He grabbed the wicket of Bangladesh opener Tamim Iqbal on day one and became the second South African in the 400-wicket-club after Shaun Pollock who took 421 wickets in his career, and the 13th overall.
