Dhaka: South Africa reeled off the 27 runs required for victory in less than an hour to record a five-wicket triumph over Bangladesh on the fourth morning of the first Test yesterday.
Resuming on their overnight score of 178 for four, the visitors needed less than 11 overs to reach their victory target of 205 runs in 44 minutes for the loss of a single wicket.
South Africa lost Ashwell Prince for 38 when he was trapped lbw by Shahdat Hossain (3-70) before wicketkeeper Mark Boucher hit the winning run with a cover-drive off spinner Mohammad Rafique.
