With the victory in the third and final match of the series, Bangladesh completed the series win over South Africa by a margin of 2-1. Fans took to Twitter after the historic win and expressed their excitement.
Bangladeshi fans were seen sharing memes mentioning India’s defeat against South Africa in the ODI series earlier this year. They also did not forget to mention the fact that Indians went to New Zealand and got defeated there in the Test series, but Bangladesh earned a victory there, and the same happened in South Africa in ODIs.
