Winning Prediction
Bangladesh has a good batting & bowling lineup with quality players who are delivering in tough conditions. Proteas have a good batting order but lack discipline when facing quality bowlers in tricky situations. Their bowlers were good in patches but need to perform well as a unit together. We expect Bangladesh to win in this match.
