PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
The pitch & the weather conditions are bright & sunny with less chance of rain. The surface is expected to be on a slower side & we can expect spinners to have an upper hand on this pitch. A score around 140-150 is perfect on the slow surface of Kimberly.
Toss to Bat
We expect both teams to win the toss & bat first on this pitch which will slow down as the match progresses ahead.
Winning Prediction
South Africa is having a good batting & bowling order with quality players in the lineup. But they have missed some experienced players which is a concern for them. On the other hand, Bangladesh has a good batting order which has played superbly in the first clash. Their bowling is a major positive for them & could restrict the opponents easily. We expect the home side to win this clash and take an unassailable lead.
