SA vs BAN Preview

Whipping a massive win over the defending champions at this particular venue, South Africa looks like a very favourite contender over Bangladesh. But we must not underestimate an Asian team like Bangladesh on a subcontinental surface.

South Africa’s brilliant net run rate and holding 3rd position on the points table will make them focus on another win to push along their semi final journey one step ahead.

On the other hand, Bangladesh would want to win this match at any cost.

Wankhede Stadium Pitch Report

Wankhede Stadium’s surface generally offers a batting friendly wicket. With a minimum of 64 meters in length, the boundaries are relatively short. The Pacers get more help than the spinners. However, it is difficult for the pacers in the 1st innings under Mumbai’s extreme heat. Teams who win the toss would prefer to bat first here.

SA – 399/7 (Pacers – 5w, Spinners – 2w)

ENG – 170 (22/50 overs) (Pacers – 8w, Spinners – 1w)

Bangladesh Team News 

• Bangladesh badly needs Shakib back in their bad times. BCB director, Khaled Mahmud Sujon hinted a few days ago, that they didn’t want to take a risk with Shakib in the India match. But it is expected that he will come back against South Africa.
• Taskin Ahmed was replaced by Hasan Mahmud in the last match. But Mahmud had conceded 65 runs in just 8 overs. Bangladesh might bring back Taskin in the playing XI.
• Bangladesh’s batting order has no constant. They always try to maintain a left-right combination. That means, if Litton gets out 1st, Miraz will come at 3. And if Tanzid gets out 1st, Shanto will come at 3 and so on for both Shakib and Mushfiq as well.

What are SA vs BAN Fantasy Tips?

• David Miller always dominates Bangladesh across the formats. If South Africa bats first, there is a huge chance to get 40-50 odd points from him. In that case, you have to leave out any of the top 3 batters of South Africa (preferably Bavuma/ Hendricks)
• Mustafizur shouldn’t be missed in case Bangladesh bowls first, he can snare an additional wicket or two.
• Heinrich Klaasen is in a great form. He is a good player for spin as well. But, considering Bangladesh’s pale bowling, he might not get a chance to bat as he bats down the order.
• Lungi Ngidi can be a game changer for you. He would get most of the chances to get wickets. Hence, making him vice captain could be profitable.
