South Africa vs Bangladesh Live Score Updates, World Cup 2023: Markram ‘motivated’ to perform against BAN
South Africa vs Bangladesh Live Score Updates, World Cup 2023:A dominant South Africa, coming off the back of a thumping victory over England in their last encounter, will take on a depleted Bangladesh side at Mumbai’s iconic Wankhede Stadium from 2pm today.
After a shocking defeat to the Netherlands, South Africa bounced back with a dominant 229 win over England, showing excellent form with both bat and bowl.
While South Africa’s batting has been an area of strength for the team throughout the tournament, the improvement in the bowling department will come as a huge relief to skipper Temba Bavuma. Meanwhile, Bavuma’s own fitness will be an area of concern for the Proteas after the opener was ruled out of the game against England due to a last-minute injury.
In what will be a good headache for the team management, the Proteas will also have to decide what happens to opener Reeza Hendricks if a fully fit Bavuma is available for selection. Hendricks, playing ODI cricket for the first time in a long while, made an unbeaten 85 to give the Proteas a solid start that Klaasen and others could later capitalise on to post a big total.
Bangladesh, on the other hand, haven’t made much of an impact at the ICC World Cup 2023, despite beating Afghanistan in their opening match in Dharamshala. The Bangladeshi Tigers have suffered three successive defeats at the hands of the tournament’s top sides – England, New Zealand and India.
Bangladesh and England Squads:
Bangladesh: Shakib Al Hasan (c), Litton Das (w/k), Tanzid Hasan Tamim, Najmul Hossain Shanto , Tawhid Hridoy, Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Mahmudullah Riyad, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Nasum Ahmed, Mahedi Hasan, Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, Hasan Mahmud, Shoriful Islam, Tanzim Hasan Sakib.

SA vs BAN Live: Aiden Markram says SA looking to replicate England performance against BAN
SA vs BAN Live: Speaking at the pre-match press conference, Markram said, “Whenever you play Bangladesh, it is obviously a massive game for us. We have not done particularly well against them in the past, so that is extra motivation for us to come out and replicate what was a good performance against England,”
“The game (against England) was a good one for us. But you still have to respect the fact that it is a new game of cricket and against opposition that has become a really good white-ball team. Then put them in subcontinental conditions, obviously that aids them very well as well,” Markram added.

SA vs BAN Live: Wankhede stadium pitch report
SA vs BAN Live: The surface at Wankhede Stadium is designed to accommodate both pacers and spinners, with a preference for players who can swing the ball in the early phases of the game. Spin bowlers frequently find their niche as the competition progresses. Meanwhile, batters can score heavily if they exercise restraint and time it well.
So far, 24 ODIs have been played at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. On 13 occasions the team batting first won the match while the team batting second won it on 11 occasions. So, it seems to be quite a balanced affair over here.

SA vs BAN Live: Head to head records
SA vs BAN Live: South Africa and Bangladesh have played 24 ODIs so far, and the Proteas have won 18 of those.
