THE LOWDOWN

SOUTH AFRICA

  • South Africa were left cursing the weather as rain prevented them from closing out victory against Zimbabwe, leaving them with just a point following their opening game of the ‘Super 12’s’.
  • It would be a big surprise if South Africa were to change their starting XI for this match when considering that just 12 overs of play were possible vs Zimbabwe, which would mean them not fielding a wrist-spin bowler with Keshav Maharaj the only frontline spin option.

BANGLADESH

  • Bangladesh finally ended a wretched run of T20i results with a hard-fought 9-run victory over Netherlands, narrowly defending their total of 144/8 set after losing the toss and being asked to bat first.
  • The Tigers will hope that this serves as a significant momentum booster for them following a miserable past couple of months, although South Africa represent significantly stronger opposition.

THE PREDICTION

As much as a boost that it was for Bangladesh to beat the Netherlands, South Africa will prove far tougher opponents. It will also be an angry, frustrated Proteas side that they come up against following their no result over Zimbabwe. South Africa’s performance levels are expected to be a high here and when you take into account the quality they possess with both bat and ball, Temba Bavuma’s men must be favoured for victory in this one.
