South Africa is set to face Bangladesh in the 23rd match of the Cricket World Cup at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium on October 24. South Africa has performed commendably, securing three wins out of four matches, while Bangladesh has only managed one victory. In the current rankings, South Africa holds the third position, while Bangladesh is in the fifth spot.
In their recent match against England, South Africa demonstrated their dominance. England won the toss and opted to field, a choice that backfired spectacularly as South Africa’s batsmen, notably Klaasen and Jansen, wreaked havoc, amassing an imposing total of 399 runs. England’s attempt to chase this target was feeble, and they were eventually bowled out for a mere 170 runs, suffering a crushing defeat by a staggering 229-run margin.
Bangladesh faced India in their last match, winning the toss and choosing to bat. They got off to a strong start, with both openers notching half-centuries. However, wickets fell at regular intervals after the openers’ departure. Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahmudullah then stabilized the innings, guiding Bangladesh to a respectable total of 256 runs. In response, India had a commanding start with Rohit and Gill, and Kohli’s century secured a comfortable seven-wicket victory for them.

Wankhede Stadium Pitch Report:
This match is the second of five at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium in the tournament. The pitch should help the runs flow, but historically, the average score in the last five ODIs at this venue has been around 269, not typically a high-scoring ground. South Africa recently scored 399 here, defying the usual trend.
The days leading up to the match are expected to be rain-free, and there is no indication of adverse weather conditions for the match day. Therefore, we anticipate a complete and uninterrupted fixture. Mumbai, in line with India’s typical climate, will experience the usual high temperatures and humidity levels.

Probable Best Performers
Probable Best Batter: Heinrich Klaasen (South Africa)
Dynamic South African batter Heinrich Klaasen, who recently delivered a remarkable century against England, considered it one of his career’s finest innings despite the draining Mumbai heat. With the upcoming match against Bangladesh at the same venue, Klaasen faces another test of enduring the scorching conditions. Nevertheless, he is in excellent form and aims to maintain his performance.
Probable Best Bowler: Kagiso Rabada (South Africa)
Kagiso Rabada remains a persistent threat, unfazed by the conditions. Although he hasn’t delivered explosive performances in the World Cup so far, his consistent efforts have raised significant challenges for opponents. His crucial 3/33 against Australia played a pivotal role in restricting the five-time champions to just 177 runs, making Rabada a formidable force in the tournament.
