South Africa Legends vs Bangladesh Legends, Road Safety World Series 2021, Match 15, Match Prediction- Who will win today’s match?

South Africa Legends were faced with some brutal power-hitting from the India Legends as a result of which they lost by 56 runs. The team is currently placed in the middle of the points table with three wins from five matches with 12 points. Their next match is against the Bangladesh Legends, who have lost all their four matches and are yet to open their account in the T20 tournament.

Another win will help the Proteas strengthen their chances of qualifying for the semis. The Tigers, on the other hand, played two one-sided affairs to start their campaign. However, the team, led by the legendary Mohammad Rafique, put forth a strong show against the West Indies Legends, though they ended up losing the game. Bangladesh would be hoping to open their account in the league.

Pitch and Conditions

The pitch in Raipur has been fairly decent for batting. The bowlers haven’t had much to cheer for on the surface. The track isn’t expected to change in nature and hence, chasing should be the way forward. The temperature will be around the 31-degrees Celsius mark with the humidity in the high-30s.

Morne van Wyk has been excellent for South Africa as he is their leading run-scorer in the tournament. The right-hander has notched 106 runs from four games at an average and strike-rate of 26.50 and 124.70 respectively. A lot will depend on how he takes his team off to a flier in the next contest.

Aftab Ahmed missed the first few matches after being tested positive for COVID-19. He batted at number three against the West Indies and showed his class. In 21 balls, he managed 31 runs and played at a strike-rate of 147.61. He will be a tough prospect to deal with for the opposition team.
