Tristan Stubbs, Tony De Zorzi Smash Maiden Tons, Replicate 2019 Feat For A South African Duo In BAN vs SA 2nd Test

Tristan Stubbs and Tony De Zorzi smashed maiden Test tons in the BAN vs SA 2nd Test in Chattogram.

Tristan Stubbs and Tony de Zorzi both batters registered maiden Test tons as South Africa have taken early control in the second Test match against Bangladesh in Chattogram. Whil De Zorzi batted throughout the day and remained unbeaten on 141, Stubbs got out soon after his first three-figure score in Test match cricket, getting out for 106. The Proteas ended Day 1 of the second Test at a formidable 307/2.

The South African duo replicated a rare feat. For the first time since 2019, two or more Protean batters registered hundreds in the same Test innings with the last such feat happening against India in Visakhapatnam in 2019 when Dean Elgar scored 160 while Quinton de Kock smashed 111. Stubbs and De Zorzi added 201 runs for the second wicket in another record-breaking feat.

Only the 212-run stand between Gary Kirsten and Daryll Cullinan against India in Kolkata in 1996 and the 209-run partnership between Hashim Amla and Alviro Petersen again in Kolkata in 2010 are the only two partnerships that are better second-wicket stands for South Africa.
