ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 Match 5, RSA vs BAN Match Prediction: Who will win today's match?
The fifth game of the ongoing Cricket World Cup will have South Africa squaring off against Bangladesh at the Kennington Oval in London.
The fifth game of the ongoing Cricket World Cup will have South Africa squaring off against Bangladesh at the Kennington Oval in London. While South Africa will be looking to get back to winning ways after the loss to England in their previous encounter, Bangladesh will be raring to kick start their season on a triumphant note. Here's our prediction for this much-anticipated encounter.
Preview for South Africa
The Proteas will be coming into the game on the back of a big defeat to the hosts in their first match. The batsmen, barring Quinton de Kock and Rassie van der Dussen, offered a meek surrender to the English bowlers, paving the way to their loss. The bowling unit too, lacked spite and could not cause problems to the strongly knit batting unit of England.
However, they will be looking to bounce against Bangladesh on Sunday. With Hashim Amla likely to miss out with an injury, de Kock and skipper du Plessis will be bearing the mantle of scoring the bulk of the runs. The bowling unit, which will once again take the field without the services of speed merchant Dale Steyn, will be resting hopes on Kagiso Rabada and Imran Tahir to blow the Bangladeshi batters away.
Preview for Bangladesh
After being brushed away by India in their only warm-up match before the tournament, the Bangladeshis will face a stiff challenge in their first outing against South Africa.
Led by MashrafeMortaza, they pack a solid unit and come as a competent opposition on any given day. While the batting contingent consists the likes of Tamim Iqbal, Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahmudullah, the bowling pack is constituted by Mustafizur Rahman, Rubel Hossain and Mehidy Hasan. However, overcoming the South Africans wouldn't be a walk in the park. The seasoned campaigners of the team will need to step up if they are to challenge their opposition today.
Who will win today's match?
While Bangladesh have been performing well over the past few years, the Proteas might be too hot to handle for them on Sunday. Expect South Africa to beat Bangladesh and get their campaign rolling in style.
