Possible XI: South Africa vs Bangladesh
Let us now take you through the possible playing XIs for the teams to help you analyse the South Africa vs Bangladesh best odds.
South Africa’s bowling has been exceptional until now. Anrich Nortje, Kagiso Rabada, Marco Jansen and Ottneil Baartman have been on their mark thus far. But it is their batting that is yet to be at its best. Against the Netherlands, the Proteas batting faltered big time. It was only after David Miller’s unbeaten 59 that they managed to chase down 104 against the Dutch.
Bangladesh, on the other hand, would be happy with how their bowlers performed against Sri Lanka. Rishad Hossain was sensational after he picked up 3 wickets and dismissed Wanindu Hasaranga with a delivery that turned sharply. Mustafizur Rahman, who holds the record for the best bowling figures by a Bangladeshi, picked up 3 wickets for 17 runs.
Taskin Ahmed recently recovered from a side strain and he did not let his guard down with figures of 4-0-25-2. However, concerns remain with Soumya Sarkar, who bagged a duck last time around. Shakib Al Hasan also faltered big time, both with bat and ball. However, Towhid Hridoy kept growing in stature after he hit Hasaranga for 3 sixes in a row.
South Africa: Quinton de Kock (wk), Reeza Hendricks, Aiden Markram (c), Heinrich Klaasen, David Miller, Tristan Stubbs, Marco Jansen, Keshav Maharaj, Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje, Ottneil Baartman
Bangladesh: Tanzid Hasan, Soumya Sarkar, Litton Das (wk), Najmul Hossain Shanto (c), Towhid Hridoy, Shakib Al Hasan, Mahmudullah, Rishad Hossain, Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, Tanzim Hasan Sakib

South Africa favourites, but Bangladesh no pushovers
South Africa will go into the game as favourites with odds of 1.332 on 22Bet.
South Africa are not far away from securing their berth in the Super 8. It also goes without saying that they will go into the upcoming as the firm favourites. Given their past records against Bangladesh, it’s tough to say that the Proteas would not win their next game.
However, Bangladesh have the firepower to roll over their opponents. They held their nerves against Sri Lanka under pressure. Mahmudullah, their old warrior, played another knock of substance in the death overs. If the Tigers are to beat South Africa, their experienced players need to come to the party.
If you believe, Bangladesh can pull off a surprise, go to Parimatch and Betwinner where the odds are 3.70.
Venue analysis Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, New York
The pitch in New York has not been great for batting by any means. Bowlers have had their say mostly. Run-making has been extremely tough with the ball moving around and pitch offering indifferent bounce.
Characteristics of the venue:
- Pace and movement from the surface, making life tough for batters
- Fast bowlers will get a lot of help from the pitch especially with the new ball
- Slow outfield will only make it more difficult for the batters
South Africa vs Bangladesh best odds for betting
Here are some of the betting tips based on the South Africa vs Bangladesh best odds (Parimatch).
Quinton de Kock is going to be the top batter for South Africa in the next game with odds of 3.75 on Parimatch.
Litton Das is going to be the top batter for Bangladesh in the upcoming contest with odds of 4.75
Mustafizur Rahman is going to be the standout bowler for Bangladesh against South Africa with odds of 3.60
Kagiso Rabada will be South Africa’s leading bowler against the Tigers with odds of 3.20
