Dubai: Having won two of three games, the Bavuma-led South Africa team would like to continue their winning run against Bangladesh at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday.
As mentioned above, the South Africa team has already won two of three matches and is on the right track to make a place in the semi-finals, while on the other hand Bangladesh has suffered loss in its first three matches and with this, their chances of going to the next round are all over.
Riding on batters like Rassie van der Dussen and Aiden Markram who have performed exceptionally well with the their bat, South Africa will be confident enough to beat Bangladesh. Apart from batting, the bowlers of the Proteas also have shown their strength as bowlers like Tabraiz Shamsi and Anrich have proved themselves with their splendid performance.
Bangladesh will rely on players such as skipper Mahmudullah, Mushfiqur Rahim and Mustafizur Rahman, who to some extent are capable of chasing a target or defending a score.
Both the teams have met in 6 matches in T20 International where South Africa has defeated the latter every single time.
Head-to-head records in World Cup clashes stand at 1-0 in South Africa's favour.
South Africa Vs Bangladesh prediction
If we look at the existing or past performance of Bangladesh, they have failed both with bat and ball. Apart from these, the fielding department too let them down. Eventually, everything is pointing towards South Africa winning today's match. However, it's a cricket match and it can turn towards any team at any point of time.
