When South Africa batted first, their batters achieved three half-centuries and a century to set the current ODI World Champions, England, a goal of 400 runs. South Africa won the match by 229 runs in just 22 overs thanks to a vicious bowling attack. In terms of runs, this was the World Cup’s second-largest victory for a full-member country.

In their previous match, Bangladesh experienced the wrath of the hosts. Even after a strong start from the openers, Bangladesh managed to reach 256 runs for the cost of 8 wickets while playing without Shakib al Hasan. The Bangladeshi bowling squad was severely impacted by the Virat Kohli storm. Bangladesh suffered a 7-wicket defeat. In his 10 overs, Mahidy Hasan Miraz claimed two wickets.

RSA vs BAN Team Preview & Squads

South Africa

Bavuma was replaced by Reeza Hendricks, who hit 85 off 75 with 9 fours and 3 sixes. In three games throughout this World Cup, Bavuma has scored just 59 runs. Watch out for Quinton de Kock, who will be the pitcher. With two centuries in the first two games, the left-handed batter has 233 runs in 4 games. He is South Africa’s top scorer of runs. De Kock has a solid batting record against Bangladesh, scoring 428 runs at an average of 53.20 over the course of nine games.

At numbers three and four, Van der Dussen will team up with temporary captain Aiden Markram. By scoring the game-winning ton against England, Henrich Klassen made a bold debut. A further challenge to the Bangladeshi bowling team, Markram and Klassen have been scoring at a strike rate of 140 for South Africa.

Against England, Marco Jansen demonstrated his all-around abilities. He will collaborate with Coetzee, Ngidi, and Rabada.

South Africa

Temba Bavuma (c), Quinton de Kock (wk), Aiden Markram, David Miller, Kagiso Rabada, Marco Jansen, Keshav Maharaj, Heinrich Klaasen, Lungi Ngidi, Rassie van der Dussen, Gerald Coetzee.

Bangladesh

The fact that Shakib al Hasan will be playing against South Africa again is wonderful news for Bangladesh. With 16 wickets and a 4.66 economy rate versus SA, he also had the best bowling performance. The player to watch out for will be him.

Tanzid Hasan and Litton Das will start the inning. Against India, the pair amassed a first-wicket total of 93 runs. The batter to watch out for is Das, who has now recorded two half-centuries in the last two games. Mehidy Hasan Miraz is not performing as well in the World Cup as everyone had anticipated. Everyone in the center of Bangladesh is impressed by Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahamadullah. Mahamadullah, on the other side, has the highest strike rate (102.35) among the eleven players and has 87 runs in two innings.

Bangladesh has amassed 23 wickets in 4 games. It is imperative that Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, and Shoriful Islam take control of the situation. Ahmed’s wicket against South Africa in the final match helped Bangladesh win an ODI series for the first time.

Najmul Hossain Shanto (c), Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Tanzid Hasan, Shakib al Hasan, Nasum Ahmed, Mahmudullah, Hasan Mahmud, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Litton Das, Mustafizur Rahman, Shoriful Islam.
