The last time both sides faced off in a World Cup Bangladesh gave South Africa a pretty big surprise. They won comfortably, batting South Africa out of the game, setting South Africa’s World Cup hopes low. South Africa is on a much better run now and has one of the best middle-orders in the tournament. Their batters are doing really well against spin, while Bangladesh are struggling for consistency along with the absence of their captain.

SA vs BAN Key Players

Henrich Klaasan

Henrich Klaasan has easily been one of the most devastating players in the tournament. He is one of the main reasons for their turnaround from the last World Cup, and has looked very good against spin. Facing a spin-heavy side, he will be key once more if South Africa are to bat another side out of the game.

Mehidy Hasan Miraz

Mehidy Hasan Miraz continues to prove his worth as Bangladesh’s premier all-rounder. He is proving to be a key player and will be interesting to watch.
