Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto won the toss and elected to bat, hoping to make the most of the conditions. However, South Africa's pace attack put the visitors under pressure early in the first innings. Bangladesh had three wickets down for 37 runs after 13 overs, with Rabada claiming all three wickets.
Bert Vogler was the first South African to achieve the feat. He dismissed England opener Tom Hayward for a golden duck at The Oval on August 19, 1907. Allan Donald joined the list in 2001, dismissing West Indies opener Leon Garrick with the first delivery of the Kingston Test on April 19.

Kagiso Rabada's Three Wickets Leave Bangladesh Reeling in Johannesburg
Kagiso Rabada continued to trouble Bangladesh after dismissing Mahfijul. He struck again on the second ball of his second over, dismissing former Bangladesh captain Mominul Haque for a seven-ball duck.
The three early dismissals left Bangladesh struggling at 22/3 in 8.5 overs. Tanzid Hasan offered some resistance at the other end. The opener remained unbeaten on 22 off 37 deliveries, while Towhid Hridoy was not out on two off 10 balls at the drinks break.
