Bangladesh, South Africa reach Chattogram for 2nd Test

Bangladesh and the visiting South Africa team  reached Chattogram today, the venue for the second and final Test. Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium, a designated venue for the cricket, will host  the series-ending Test, starting from Tuesday, according to the schedule of  the series.

Bangladesh trail the two-match series 0-1, following its seven-wicket defeat  to the visitors. On the other hand, the victory was South Africa's first in the sub-continent  since their 153-run win over Sri Lanka in Galle in 2014.

"To come to the subcontinent and get a win is great for us and the [team]  environment," Markram said after the first Test. "It creates a nice buzz in the change room and gives us belief that we can compete in conditions where  the odds seem to be stacked against us."

The two teams will start their preparation for the match tomorrow (Sunday)  while South Africa will be eying to wrap up the series 2-0, Bangladesh's  target is to secure their maiden victory over the Proteas to level the 
series. Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto emphasized on collective performance to make a good comeback.

"As a batting group we need to take responsibility against the new ball and  as a bowling group as well we need to show improvement. We need to put in a collective performance as a team in the next Test match," Shanto said after the defeat in the first Test.
