Fast bowler Kagiso Rabada’s 6-39 helped South Africa finish off Bangladesh by seven wickets on Thursday and win their first cricket Test in Asia in 10 years.

Bangladesh was all out for 307 in its second innings in the morning, with Rabada grabbing his six-for, and left South Africa needing 106 for victory.

It completed the inevitable by reaching 106-3 in 22 overs just before lunch on day four. Bangladesh was always chasing after being dismissed for 106 in the first innings. South Africa replied with 308 propped up by Kyle Verreynne’s 114.
