India and Pakistan cricket team
The date of October 24, 2024 was recorded in golden letters in the history of Test cricket. In Pune, the Indian spinners made the New Zealand batsmen dance with their spin. R Ashwin and Washington Sundar together put the entire New Zealand team on 259 runs. This happened for the sixth time on Indian soil when all 10 wickets in the first innings of the first day of a Test match fell to the spinners. R Ashwin bowled out 3 batsmen while Washington Sundar showed the way to the pavilion to 7 batsmen.
Responding to New Zealand’s score of 259 runs, India had put 16 runs on the board after losing 1 wicket in their first innings late in the day. Rohit Sharma returned to the pavilion without opening the account. Tim Southee fired him. On the one hand, in Pune, the Indian spinners made the New Zealand batsmen dance a lot, while on the other hand, in the neighboring country of Pakistan, the spinners bothered the English batsmen a lot.
The magic of the effect was also seen in Pakistan
Like India, Pakistani spinners also did a great feat by dismissing all 10 England players. This is the sixth time in the history of Test cricket that Pakistani spinners have taken all 10 wickets in the first innings of a Test match. At the same time, this happened for the fourth time against England, when all their players fell victim to the spinners. After England’s first innings of 267 runs, Pakistan had put 73 runs on the board after losing 3 wickets at the end of the first day’s play in the Rawalpindi Test. The spinners also won here. Jack Leach and Shoaib Bashir took 1 wicket each, while pacer Gus Atkinson got a hit.
South Africa defeated Bangladesh
Now let’s talk about the third test match that was played on that day i.e. 24th October. The only difference was that the India vs New Zealand and Pakistan vs England test matches started while the South Africa vs Bangladesh match ended today. In this match, South Africa defeated Bangladesh by 7 wickets.
On the fourth day, Bangladesh scored 283 runs after losing 7 wickets, but on the last day of the match, Kagiso Rabada dismissed two Bangladesh batsmen and Wiaan Mulder dismissed one batsman, reducing the host team to 307 runs. After this, South Africa achieved the target of 106 runs losing 3 wickets. Bangladesh spinner Taijul Islam took all three wickets for South Africa. In this way, a total of 30 wickets fell in 3 Test matches in a single day, of which 25 wickets were taken by spinners alone, while Kagiso Rabada was the only fast bowler to achieve the feat of taking more of a piece of land. The remaining 3 fast bowlers took only 1 wicket each.
