SA vs BAN Dream11 Prediction Fantasy Cricket Tips Possible XI Pitch Report: ODI World Cup 2023 Match 23 | Wankhede Pitch Report
South Africa will take on Bangladesh in the 23rd match of the World Cup 2023. Both teams had distinct results in the previous game and will have different expectations from this game.
South Africa registered a thumping 229-run win over England in their last game to solidify their position in the points table. Heinrich Klaasen (109) notched up a magnificent century, while Reeza Hendricks (85), Rassie van der Dussen (60) and Marco Jansen (75) also contributed handsomely to help the Proteas post a mammoth 399/7 in the first innings. In the bowling department, Gerald Coetzee starred with three wickets, while Lungi Ngidi and Marco Jansen also dismissed two batters each to complete the job.
Meanwhile, Bangladesh suffered their third defeat in a row against India in the previous game. Batting first, they could post only 256/8, with Tanzid Hasan (51) and Litton Das (66) contributing significantly, whereas Mushfiqur Rahim (38) and Mahmudullah (46) also chipped in with useful runs. Their bowlers were underwhelming, as only Mehidy Hasan Miraz, who took two wickets, looked threatening.
