Mulder was caught by Sadman Islam at slip and Keshav Maharaj was blown off stump on the very next ball. Hasan Mahmud's 2 wickets are the success of the Bangladesh bowlers in the first session of the second day of the Mirpur Test.
Hasan raised the possibility of a hat-trick by sending back two South African batsmen consecutively in the last two balls of the 65th over of the innings. But in the next over, the pacer could not make use of the opportunity despite getting the new batsman Dan Peet in front on the first ball.
Before that, two unbeaten batsmen of the previous day, Mulder and Verena, made a record pair. Their 119-run seventh wicket against Bangladesh in Tests is South Africa's highest in a partnership. Earlier, Mulder was also in the highest 80-run partnership. He made an 80-run partnership with Keshav Maharaj in Port Elizabeth in 2022.
