Background
Cricket fans and enthusiasts, welcome to the 23rd match of the ICC Men's World Cup 2023, where today, Bangladesh will face off against South Africa at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. It's Tuesday, October 24, and we're in for what could be another electrifying contest that promises to keep cricket enthusiasts on the edge of their seats.
The Wankhede Stadium has already witnessed one memorable showdown in this tournament, where South Africa displayed their dominance by demolishing the defending champions, England, with a staggering 229-run victory on Saturday, October 21.
South Africa enter this match with soaring confidence, currently standing at third place in the points table with an impressive net run rate of +2.2, which is the best among the ten competing teams. On the other hand, Bangladesh find themselves in a more challenging position, having lost their previous three matches in the ICC Men's World Cup 2023. They currently occupy the seventh spot in the points table with a net run rate of -0.78.
For Bangladesh, this match is crucial as they need a win to keep their hopes of reaching the semifinals alive. Meanwhile, South Africa have their sights set on dethroning New Zealand from the second spot in the points table.
One player to watch out for is South Africa's right-handed middle-order batsman, Heinrich Klaasen, who is in formidable form. In their last game against England, Klaasen's explosive 67-ball century propelled South Africa to a formidable total of 399-9 in 50 overs.
Head-to-head, South Africa have dominated Bangladesh in ODIs, leading the tally 18-6. However, it's worth noting that Bangladesh have pulled off surprising victories against South Africa in the previous two World Cup encounters, in 2007 and 2019. So, don't rule them out just yet.
Coming to the weather, once again, Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai is set to experience scorching heat and sultry conditions on Tuesday, October 24, with absolutely no chance of rain. In the tournament's opening match at this venue, players struggled with the intense heat, leading to sweating, cramps, and fatigue, and it appears that similar conditions are on the offer for Tuesday.
As the two green-clad teams prepare to lock horns at the Wankhede, let's take a look at the playing elevens for today's match:
Bangladesh: Tanzid Hasan, Litton Das, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Shakib Al Hasan(c), Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Mushfiqur Rahim(w), Mahmudullah, Nasum Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, Shoriful Islam, Hasan Mahmud
South Africa: Quinton de Kock(w), Reeza Hendricks, Rassie van der Dussen, Aiden Markram(c), Heinrich Klaasen, David Miller, Marco Jansen, Gerald Coetzee, Keshav Maharaj, Kagiso Rabada, Lizaad Williams
Stay tuned, as we're about to witness what could be another cracker of a game in the World Cup.
