In a significant boost to their World Test Championship ambitions, the South African cricket team secured a commanding seven-wicket victory against Bangladesh in the first Test this week.
While the path ahead remains challenging, this win has kept the Proteas firmly in contention for a spot in the final, marking their first-ever appearance in the event. Currently positioned fourth in the standings, South Africa trails only India, Australia, and Sri Lanka, boasting a win percentage of 47.62% from their seven matches thus far in the championship cycle.
‘We all aspire to win the World Test Championship, but we recognise that significant effort lies ahead,’ Conrad stated on Friday.
