Bavuma has aggregated 665 runs at 81.87 against spin in Tests since 2021, well clear of the next best among SA batters in the timeframe (298 by Tony de Zorzi at 37.25).
Bedingham has shown this tendenancy of planting his front foot across and playing around the pad. Australian pacers have spotted that and targeted the stumps/pads. But so far Bedingham has managed to keep them out. How long can he survive with that technique on this pitch?
