South Africa vs Bangladesh Preview

South Africa are favourites for this game and while Bangladesh have the quality to cause an upset, the pitch may play a big role. David Miller has a sublime record against The Tigers and comes into this game off a fine match-winning knock against Netherlands.

Bangladesh News

South Africa’s David Miller has scored 26*, 30, 16*, 6* & 59* in his last 5 innings.
South Africa’s Tristan Stubbs has scored 41, 57* & 33 in his last 5 innings.
Bangladesh’s Towhid Hridoy has scored 58, 25 & 40 in his last 4 innings.
Bangladesh’s Litton Das scored 36 to set up the win over Sri Lanka.

Head-to-Head

The South Africans have never lost a T20I against Bangladesh, winning all eight previous games.

South Africa Form

After beating Sri Lanka by six wickets with 22 balls in hand, South Africa beat the Netherlands by four wickets with just more than an over to spare.

Ottneil Baartman (4/11, econ 2.75) was the destroyer-in-chief as a brilliant bowling performance from South Africa saw the Netherlands restricted to 103/9 off their 20 overs.

South Africa’s top-order fell apart as they crumbled to 12/4, before a 65-run stand for the fifth wicket between Tristan Stubbs (33) and David Miller (59) rescued the innings, with the Proteas reaching 106/6 with seven balls to spare.

South Africa News

South Africa’s bowling is brilliant, but their top-order have not been performing well. They might be tempted to give Ryan Rickelton a spot in the top-order.

Bangladesh Form

Bangladesh pipped Sri Lanka by just two wickets to claim their opening match of the T20 Cricket World Cup.

Sri Lanka battled to score 124/9 off their 20 overs, with Mustafizur Rahman (3/17, econ 4.25) and Rishad Hossain (3/22, econ 5.50) both bowling superbly.

Bangladesh collapsed to 28/3 before Litton Das (36) and Towhid Hridoy (40 off 20 balls) got the chase back on track, with Mahmudullah (16*) seeing his side home with one over in hand.

Bangladesh News

Bangladesh’s bowlers are looking good but, like South Africa, they desperately need their batters to show some consistency.

Verdict

South Africa v Bangladesh

I am backing South Africa to win. I am also backing David Miller to top score for South Africa.

Towhid Hridoy is a good bet to top score for Bangladesh.
