DHAKA, May 30, 2025 (BSS)-The Bangladesh and South Africa Emerging Teams 
shared the four-day series after the second four-day match ended in a draw at 
Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium today. 

Inclement weather had prevented any play on the third and fourth days, 
forcing a draw like the first game.

Until Day 2, Bangladesh Men's Emerging team put them on top, raising a 
prospect of a victory.

Bangladesh were wrapped up for 371 in their first innings after Iftekhar 
Hossain Ifti hit a brilliant 109. Moin Khan contributed 91, missing out his 
ton by nine runs. The home side then reduced South Africa to 152-6 at stumps 
on Day 2. With four wickets at hands, South Africa are still trailing by 219 
runs.

Ripon Mondol and Rakibul Hasan took two wickets apiece to wreck havoc on 
South African batters. Mahedi Hasan and Naeem Ahmed picked up one wicket 
each.

Ifti was adjudged player of the match for his century. Earlier, Bangladesh 
won the three-match one-day series 2-1.
