After batting for almost two days, South Africa finally declared their innings. The team played 144.2 overs before declaring innings. They scored 575 runs on the scoreboard, losing a total of 6 wickets. Three people have scored centuries for the team. After Tristan Stubbs and Tony de Georgie, Vianne Mulder has also scored a debut century. The visitors declared their innings immediately after his century.
Taijul Islam's Fifer was done in the first session. In the second session, Nahid Rana dismissed Ryan Rickleton. After that, South Africa did not lose any more wickets.
Mulder and Senuran Muthusamy took the team to the tea break. After that, the two were inseparable until the end of the innings. Mulder scored 103 off 150 balls and Senuran Muthusamy scored 70 off 75 balls and remained unbeaten at the end.
South Africa were waiting for Mulder's first century of his career. When he finally got it, Markram declared the innings immediately. Their seventh wicket partnership made 154 runs in 31 overs.
Earlier in this match, Tony de Georgie and Tristan Stubbs had scored their first centuries of their careers. The centuries of both of them basically laid the foundation for South Africa to score big runs.
