South Africa won the first Test match by 220 runs.[15] In the second innings Keshav Maharaj took seven wickets for 32 runs,[16] with Bangladesh being bowled out for 53 runs, their second-lowest total in Test cricket.[17] All of Bangladesh's wickets were taken by spin bowling, from Maharaj and Simon Harmer.[18] It was the first time that just two bowlers had taken all ten wickets in an innings for South Africa in a Test match.[19] It was also the first time in more than 100 years that zero deliveries were bowled by seam bowlers in a completed innings for South Africa.[20]
On the morning of the fourth day of the second Test match, Sarel Erwee and Wiaan Mulder were replaced by Glenton Stuurman and Khaya Zondo as COVID-19 substitutes.[21] It was the first time that COVID-19 substitutes had been used in Test cricket, with Khaya Zondo making his Test debut in the process.[22] South Africa won the match by 332 runs,[23] winning the series 2–0.[24]

Prior to the tour, Shakib Al Hasan had requested a break from international cricket,[29] with the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) initially agreeing to his request.[30] However, after a meeting with the BCB's President, Nazmul Hassan, Shakib agreed to travel to South Africa.[31] Shakib eventually missed the Test series, after several family members were admitted to hospital due to COVID-19.[32] During the first Test, the BCB confirmed that both Taskin Ahmed and Shoriful Islam would return home to Bangladesh following the conclusion of the match due to injuries.[33]
In March 2022, Cricket South Africa (CSA) agreed to allow their Test-playing cricketers to choose between the matches against Bangladesh or playing in the 2022 Indian Premier League (IPL), with a unanimous vote for them to play in the IPL.[34] As a result, South Africa named a weakened squad for the Test matches,[35] with Marco Jansen, Aiden Markram, Lungi Ngidi, Anrich Nortje, Kagiso Rabada and Rassie van der Dussen all playing in the IPL.[36]
