Andile Mogakane showed some resistance towards the back end of the innings with his 43 before becoming Rakibul鈥檚 sixth victim.
Rakibul got his seventh when the last batter, Tshepo Ntuli, was bowled.
Apart from Rakibul鈥檚 seven-wicket haul, Ripon Mondol took two for 58 runs.
Bangladesh then lost openers Ashikur Rahman鈥攚ho scored a hundred in the first innings鈥攁nd Chowdhury Rizwan inside the first three overs.
