The T20 World Cup 2021 has entered its latter stage and stakes in the remaining game are incredibly high. Match 30 of the tournament will see South Africa crossing swords with Bangladesh at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi. Both teams have made contrasting start to the competition and the same makes the Proteas side firm favourites for this fixture. Having won two of their three games so far, the Temba Bavuma-led side is on the right track to qualify for the knock-out stage. On the other hand, Bangladesh are all but out of the semi-final race, having lost their first three games in the Super 12 stage.
Head to Head record:
South Africa comprehensively dominate Bangladesh in terms of head-to-head record in T20Is. These two teams have played 6 T20I matches so far and South Africa emerged victorious every single time. As far as T20 World Cups are concerned, these two teams have met once and the Proteas side walked away with a four-wicket triumph in that game.
