SA vs BAN 11Wickets Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing 11, Pitch Report and Injury Update for 1st ODI

Preview:

On Friday, Bangladesh’s long tour to South Africa would start with the first ODI at the SuperSport Park, Centurion. Bangladesh hosted Afghanistan last month for a three-match ODI and two-match T20I series. They won the ODI series by a margin of 2-1 but failed to win the T20I series as Afghanistan won the second match.

South Africa traveled to New Zealand last month to play a two-match Test series. They lost the first Test by a huge margin of an innings and 276 runs. But, the Proteas managed to bounce back in the next Test and won the same by 198 runs. South Africa might go hard against Bangladesh in this game but Bangladesh might also be able to put up a good fight and this game might not be a one-sided affair.

Shakib Al Hasan had a quiet show against Afghanistan in the limited-overs series. In three matches, he managed to score only 60 runs and picked five wickets. The former Bangladesh captain is known for his all-round skills and is rated as one of the best in modern cricket.

Rassie van der Dussen made two half-centuries in CSA One-Day Cup. In the three-match ODI series against India, he made one half-century and a century. He is one of the key players for South Africa’s middle-order.

Kagiso Rabada would be featuring in ODIs for the first time this year. Rabada won the player of the match award in the second Test against New Zealand earlier this month. Rabada might play a crucial role for South Africa considering the pitch might have enough for the bowlers.
