We are backing Bangladesh with some confidence. At 65% to win, they are strong favourites, and South Africa will need their best game to cause an upset.
Bangladesh come in with the better form, having won two of their last five games, while South Africa have won no of their last five.
The toss could matter here. Chasing has been the better option at this ground, so the captain who calls right may well choose to bowl first. We expect a first-innings score of around 155, and anything well above that should put the batting side in control.
