Match Prediction:
South Africa will face Bangladesh in match 23 of the 2023 Cricket World Cup on Tuesday at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium. South Africa has won three of their four matches in the tournament, defeating Sri Lanka and Australia before falling to the Netherlands. They quickly recovered, however, with a 229-run victory over England on Saturday. Bangladesh defeated Afghanistan by 6 wickets in the competition’s third match, but have subsequently lost to England, New Zealand, and India.The game begins at 14:00 local time.
South Africa entered their final match without their captain and on the heels of a loss to the Netherlands, but they thrashed the 2019 World Cup Champions England. There will be optimism across the team ahead of this game.
Bangladesh have lost their last three games by 137 runs, 8 wickets, and 7 wickets, respectively, therefore a significant shift in momentum is required for the Tigers to threaten South Africa. Bangladesh was only two points out of fourth place going into Monday’s matches, so they still have a lot to play for.
Winning Chances:
Toss Prediction:
The conditions at this location were extremely tough on England’s bowlers and fielders in the first half of the previous game. As a result, we anticipate that both captains will opt to bat first in this game.
Weather Report:
The weather prediction for Tuesday in Mumbai is hot, with temperatures above 30 degrees throughout the day and humidity increasing as the game proceeds.
Pitch Report:
On this surface, the ball will hit the bat with great force. With South Africa hitting 399-7 on this pitch on Saturday, a par score of over 370 is likely in this encounter.
South Africa Preview:
South Africa made one change ahead of their big triumph against England, with skipper Temba Bavuma sitting out due to sickness and Aiden Markram taking his place. Reeza Hendricks came into the game and scored a great goal, so there’s no urgency to get Bavuma back for this game.
South Africa Squad Predicted:
Quinton de Kock (wk), Reeza Hendricks, Rassie van der Dussen, Aiden Markram (c), Heinrich Klaasen, David Miller, Marco Jansen, Gerald Coetzee, Keshav Maharaj
Bangladesh Preview:
Taskin Ahmed was not selected for Bangladesh ahead of their recent loss to India, with skipper Shakib Al Hasan also out due to injury. Both players are expected to return to the Tigers lineup for this match.
Bangladesh Squad Predicted
Tanzid Hasan, Litton Das, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Shakib Al Hasan (c), Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Towhid Hridoy, Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Mahmudullah, Mustafizur Rahman, Shoriful Islam, Taskin Ahmed
South Africa vs Bangladesh Prediction:
South Africa are undoubtedly one of the top teams in this year’s tournament, and the setback against the Netherlands appears to have been a hiccup in an otherwise brilliant competition. Bangladesh are an exciting team with a collection of talented speed bowlers, but they have struggled to create a huge mark in the 2023 Cricket World Cup. Bangladesh is expected to have some good batting partnerships and to cause some problems with their spin bowlers. Overall, South Africa has a far stronger XI, and we expect them to win.
