Match preview

After heavy defeats to Sri Lanka and England, Bangladesh blew a great chance of victory against the West Indies last time out and they may struggle to get a win on the board against South Africa.

The Tigers scrambled through to the Super 12 stage despite a shock opening defeat to Scotland but they have failed to live up to the promise of their pre-tournament series wins over Australia (4-1) and New Zealand (3-2).

South Africa made a bold bid to defend a meagre total of 118-9 in their first Super 12 group match against Australia and they bounced back from that five-wicket defeat with victories over the Windies and Sri Lanka.

A third straight win would bolster their chances of reaching the semi-finals and batsman Aiden Markram looks a big price to top-score against Bangladesh.

The Test opener has established himself in the middle-order of the T20 team, scoring five fifties in just 16 innings and top-scoring with 40 against the Aussies.
