Bangladesh suffers devastating batting collapse

Bangladesh had a poor start in the first Test against South Africa. Batting in the first innings at the Mirpur Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium, Najmul Hossain Shanto's team faced significant challenges.

The Tigers went to lunch with only 60 runs on the board and 6 wickets lost. The collapse began with Shadman Islam's dismissal for a duck when the team's score was just 6 runs. He was soon followed by Mominul Haque (4), Shanto (7), Mushfiqur Rahim (11), Liton Das (1), and Mehedi Hasan Miraz (13), all of whom were dismissed in quick succession.

For South Africa, pace bowler Wiaan Mulder took three wickets, while Kagiso Rabada claimed two and Keshav Maharaj took one.
