South Africa vs Bangladesh Live Score Updates, World Cup 2023 ...

South Africa vs Bangladesh Live Score Updates, World Cup 2023:  South Africa after losing two early wickets has build the innings on the partnership between de Kock and Aiden Markram.

South Africa have won the toss and will bat first at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. There is one change for both sides, with a fully fit Shakib al Hasan making a comeback to the Bangladesh XI in place of Towhid Hridoy, while Lungi Ngidi makes way for Lizaad Williams.

The dominant South Africans are coming off the back of an emphatic win over England in their last encounter and will take on a struggling Bangladesh XI.

After a shocking defeat to the Netherlands, South Africa bounced back with a dominant 229 win over England, showing excellent form with both bat and bowl.

While South Africa's batting has been an area of strength for the team throughout the tournament, the improvement in the bowling department will come as a huge relief to skipper Temba Bavuma. Meanwhile, Bavuma's own fitness will be an area of concern for the Proteas after the opener was ruled out of the game against England due to a last-minute injury.

In what will be a good headache for the team management, the Proteas will also have to decide what happens to opener Reeza Hendricks if a fully fit Bavuma is available for selection. Hendricks, playing ODI cricket for the first time in a long while, made an unbeaten 85 to give the Proteas a solid start that Klaasen and others could later capitalise on to post a big total.

Bangladesh, on the other hand, haven't made much of an impact at the ICC World Cup 2023, despite beating Afghanistan in their opening match in Dharamshala. The Bangladeshi Tigers have suffered three successive defeats at the hands of the tournament's top sides - England, New Zealand and India.

Bangladesh and England Squads: 

Bangladesh: Shakib Al Hasan (c), Litton Das (w/k), Tanzid Hasan Tamim, Najmul Hossain Shanto , Tawhid Hridoy, Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Mahmudullah Riyad, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Nasum Ahmed, Mahedi Hasan, Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, Hasan Mahmud, Shoriful Islam, Tanzim Hasan Sakib.

South Africa: Temba Bavuma (c), Gerald Coetzee, Quinton de Kock (w/k), Reeza Hendricks, Marco Jansen, Heinrich Klaasen, Keshav Maharaj, Aiden Markram, David Miller, Lungi Ngidi, Andile Phehlukwayo, Kagiso Rabada, Tabraiz Shamsi, Rassie van der Dussen, Lizaad Williams.

SA vs BAN Live: Speaking at the toss, Markram said, “Yeah, Mark, we get a bit first on a project, you know, pretty similar way as we did to the English game and we've got a nice blueprint on how to go about these conditions, we can look fairly similar to the previous game."

Markram added, “Yeah, I think that just proves once again at this World Cup that anyone can beat anyone and there is no such thing as an easy game. So we took lessons from that Netherlands game, and so we bounced back nicely against English but ultimately, it's a new day today. We have to respect this game of cricket and try and repeat the good things that we did a few days ago."

SA vs BAN Live: Speaking about the good record against the Proteas in the recent past, Shakib said, “Yeah, I mean that will give us lot of confidence but you know, having said that, today is another game, important, another venue another page. So we have to play our best cricket to do well against South Africa"

"We wanted to bat first as well but I don't mind bowling first, you know, if we can restrict them to a reasonable total, hopefully we can chase it down." Shakib added

South Africa have the opportunity to sit on the second the spot in the points table with a victory against Bangladesh today.

South Africa vs Bangladesh Live: Speaking at the pre-match press conference, Shakib said, "We have five matches in hand, if we win the match tomorrow, we will get into a great momentum. Though we did not win many games, we are not in a bad position in the points table. Other teams are helping me, so now we have to help ourselves," he said.

South Africa vs Bangladesh Live: Bangladesh are currently ranked 7th on the ICC World Cup 2023 points table, just above teams like the Netherlands, Sri Lanka and England, with 2 points from their 4 games.

South Africa vs Bangladesh Live: BAN skipper while speaking at the pre-match press conference hinted that he might be fit for the key clash against SA. He said,"I felt nothing at all when I was training yesterday. I will hopefully be able to get through this training session without pain, and be good to go,"

Speaking about the humid conditions in Mumbai, Shakib added,"We want to rest and hydrate, take care of ourselves. We saw England and South Africa suffer in the weather. We are used to hot weather but it will not be easy for us," he said.

SA vs BAN Live: Speaking after the England encounter, Markram said, "Fantastic all-round performance. I could not have asked for a bigger effort and skills to top it off was fantastic to see. Slightly surprised by England's decision at the toss. We know they like chasing, we would have batted first. Happy it worked out the way it did. Was good that our big quicks were not cooking in the heat. (On Hendricks) Really great knock, especially without warm-up. He has been around a long time, and that experience helps. He has really worked on his game each and every day and has reaped those rewards,"

"(On Klaasen) Him at 5 and (David) Miller at 6 is a destructive pair at the back end. He has come a long way. We've played together for a while, great to see him showcase his abilities that we knew he always had, on a big stage. (On Jansen) He is having a great competition. He takes a lot of pride in his batting and prepares to deal with the worst-case scenario. Lot of ability with the bat, his confidence will rise. Great stand with Klaasy. Incredibly pleased for him. Great way to bounce back after the Netherlands loss, it hurt us," Proteas skipper added.

SA vs BAN Live: 

South Africa (SA): Quinton de Kock (WK), Temba Bavuma (C), Rassie van der Dussen, Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klaasen, David Miller, Marco Jansen, Kagiso Rabada, Keshav Maharaj, Lungi Ngidi, Gerald Coetzee

Bangladesh (BAN): Litton Das, Tanzid Hasan, Najmul Hossain Shanto , Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Shakib al Hasan (C), Mushfiqur Rahim (WK), Mahmudullah, Nasum Ahmed, Hasan Mahmud, Mustafizur Rahman, Shoriful Islam

SA vs BAN Live: Ahead of the important Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh clash at Wankhede Stadium on Monday,Shakib said, "The spinners will not play a big role in this venue, which is relatively a smaller ground. It is a high-scoring ground. Still, we are planning to restrict them for a lower total."

"We are taking inspiration from how the Netherlands restricted them. We have been looking at their weaknesses for the last one or two years," Bangladesh skipper added

SA vs BAN Live: As per Google’s win probability, there is a 79% chance that South Africa will be victorious in this match and move to the fourth position.

As per CricTracker, no matter which team bats first, South Africa will win the match. As per MyKhel, South Africa will outclass Bangladesh. Bangladesh have an excellent record against South Africa, especially in recent times. The South African squad’s chasing prowess was tested once in this tournament, and they failed. If Bangladesh win the toss and decide to bowl first, anything can happen. We are keeping the Bangla Tigers ahead in this tournament of upsets.

SA vs BAN Live: Quinton de Kock (WK), Temba Bavuma, Litton Das, Tanzid Hasan, Rassie van der Dussen, Aiden Markram (VC), Heinrich Klaasen, Shakib al Hasan (C), Mushfiqur Rahim (WK), Kagiso Rabada and Mustafizur Rahman

SA vs BAN Live: Speaking at the pre-match press conference, Markram said, “Whenever you play Bangladesh, it is obviously a massive game for us. We have not done particularly well against them in the past, so that is extra motivation for us to come out and replicate what was a good performance against England,"

“The game (against England) was a good one for us. But you still have to respect the fact that it is a new game of cricket and against opposition that has become a really good white-ball team. Then put them in subcontinental conditions, obviously that aids them very well as well," Markram added.
