SA Defeat Bangladesh

As expected, South Africa completed a series whitewash against Test cricketing minnow's Bangladesh in Dhaka.

Scores:

South Africa 330 (J Rudolph 71, M Boucher 71, R Peterson 61, S Pollock 41, Mohammad Rafique 6/77)

Bangladesh 102 (M Ntini 3/32)

Bangladesh 210 (R Peterson 3/46)
