SA VS BAN LIVE SCORE: Coetzee removes Rahim to put SA on top, BAN loosing the game

Having won the toss, South Africa will bat first at Mumbai’s storied Wankhede Stadium. Both teams have made one change: Lizaad Williams replaces Lungi Ngidi in the Bangladesh XI, and a fully fit Shakib al Hasan returns in place of Towhid Hridoy.

The formidable South Africans will face a weak Bangladesh XI after winning decisively over England in their most recent match.

South Africa recovered from a humiliating loss to the Netherlands with a commanding 229 victory over England, displaying outstanding batting and bowling form.

While South Africa’s batting has been the team’s strong suit throughout the competition, captain Temba Bavuma will be greatly relieved by the progress made in the bowling department. The Proteas will be concerned about Bavuma’s personal health, though, since the opener was forced to miss the match against England because of a last-minute injury.

The Proteas will also need to decide what would happen to opener Reeza Hendricks in the event that a fully healthy Bavuma is available for selection, which will be a major headache for the team management. Playing in his first ODI match in a long time, Hendricks scored an unbeaten 85 to give the Proteas a strong start that Klaasen and others could build on to score a large total.

Bangladesh, on the other hand, defeated Afghanistan in their opening game in Dharamshala, although they haven’t had much of an influence at the ICC World Cup 2023. The top three teams in the tournament—England, New Zealand, and India—have defeated the Bangladeshi Tigers three times in a row.
