Kagiso Rabada claimed Bangladesh's first five wickets at the Wanderers on November 15, 2026, with the ICC's saved scorecard showing five wickets for 33 runs from 11 overs, including two maidens. The ICC identified it as his 18th Test five-wicket haul. Source Source
Bangladesh had chosen to bat and were 128/5 in the second session on day one of the first Test in Johannesburg. South Africa had yet to bat in the opening match of the two-Test series. Source
Rabada struck with the first ball of the innings, dismissing Mahfijul Islam for a duck, caught by Marco Jansen. Mominul Haque also fell without scoring, caught by Ryan Rickelton, before captain Najmul Hossain Shanto was bowled for 12. Bangladesh were 22/3. Source
Tanzid Hasan and Towhid Hridoy then put together a 99-run fourth-wicket partnership. For a while, the innings had stopped being a Rabada highlights package. Source
Rabada bowled Tanzid for 67 from 108 deliveries with the first ball of the 35th over. With the next, he had Mushfiqur Rahim caught by Simon Harmer for a first-ball duck, completing his five-wicket haul and leaving Bangladesh 121/5. Source
In that second-session snapshot, Hridoy was unbeaten on 34 alongside Litton Das on six. Source
