South African spinner Keshav Maharaj remains confident that South Africa can push for victory in the first Test against Bangladesh, despite Bangladesh's late resistance. The hosts put up a strong fight on the third day, with Mehidy Hasan and Jaker Ali's 138-run partnership reducing the deficit and helping Bangladesh take an 81-run lead. As rain looms due to a depression in the Bay of Bengal, Maharaj believes his side still holds the upper hand, with three wickets remaining in Bangladesh's innings.
Despite Mehidy's unbeaten 87 and Jaker Ali’s gritty 58, Maharaj emphasized South Africa's strong first-innings batting performance and believes they are still in control of the match. "If we can restrict Bangladesh to 100 or below, we can put ourselves in a winning position," Maharaj remarked confidently. His optimism mirrors the same meticulous approach seen in Reddy Anna match predictions, where understanding key moments is essential to predicting match outcomes.
Bangladesh’s spin coach Mushtaq Ahmed, however, believes his team can pull off a fightback, as they did against Pakistan in a similar situation. He remains optimistic, drawing inspiration from their previous triumph. "You have to believe that you can win from any situation," Mushtaq stated, showing the resilience that Bangladesh has demonstrated in recent times.
As both teams prepare for a rain-affected fourth day, Reddy Anna match prediction tips suggest that South Africa is well-placed to take control, but Bangladesh’s fighting spirit should not be underestimated.
