South Africa and Bangladesh, two teams that have had contrasting journeys in the 2023 World Cup so far, will clash in match 23 at the Wankhede stadium in Mumbai. South Africa, apart from the shocking defeat at the hands of the Netherlands, have won their other three games while Bangladesh, apart from winning against Afghanistan in their opening game, have lost their other three games.
South Africa comes into this game with a boost of confidence, having recently secured a significant victory over England at the same venue last Saturday. After choosing to bat first, South Africa put up an impressive total of 399 runs, with Reeza Hendricks (85), Rassie van der Dussen (60), Aiden Markram (42), Heinrich Klaasen (109), and Marco Jansen (75) all contributing significantly. In response, England was dismissed for just 170 runs, with Gerald Coetzee being the standout bowler with three wickets. This 229-run victory marked England’s largest loss in ODIs. The Proteas will now look to deliver another batting masterclass at the same venue.
South Africa finds themselves in the third spot in the points table. Their impressive victories by significant margins, such as a 102-run win against Sri Lanka, a 134-run victory against Australia, and a remarkable 229-run triumph over England, have secured them the top spot for the best net run rate in the tournament.
Bangladesh’s performance in the tournament has left much to be desired. Despite a winning start against Afghanistan, they went on to lose three consecutive matches. Their players have struggled both with the bat and ball. To keep their hopes alive for a spot in the semifinals, winning this upcoming match is a must. Presently, they sit at the seventh position in the points table, having secured only one win in four matches.
