BAN vs SA Top Captain and Vice-captain Picks
Scenario: If Bangladesh Field First
Mustafizur Rahman (BAN): If Bangladesh bowl first then Mustafizur Rahman will be a great threat for South African batters. Mustafizur Rahman has been in fine form and his ability to pick wickets up front and the back end of an innings. He picked-up three wickets in the last match.
David Miller (SA): David Miller played a winning knock in the last match by scoring 59 runs off 51 balls with three boundaries and four maximums. If South Africa bats first, then Miller will be the key batsman in this match. He is a prime C/VC option for this game.
Scenario: If South Africa Field First
Anrich Nortje (SA): Anrich Nortje picked up six wickets in their two games so far of T20 World Cup 2024. If South Africa bowl first then he will try to put Bangladesh early pressure by picking-up wickets in powerplay and he will be a good pick for the C/VC option for this game.
Towhid Hridoy (BAN): Towhid Hridoy played an excellent innings by scoring 40 runs with an strike rate of 200 in the last match and he will be a good pick for the C/VC option for this game.
BAN vs SA High Risk, High Rewards
Litton Das (BAN): Wicket-keeper batsman Litton Das is an experienced and reliable batsman on his team. He has scored 36 runs in the last match for his team and can be dangerous in this upcoming match but he is not consistent which makes him a risky but worthy choice.
Heinrich Klaasen (SA): The South African keeper-batter has been in a dream form in the T20 format this season. Heinrich Klaasen will have the responsibility of taking South Africa to a respectable total in the game but in first two matches of this tournament he has scored 23 runs with a strike rate of only 79.31.
BAN vs SA Stay Aways
Soumya Sarkar (BAN): Soumya Sarkar is a pretty good all-rounder form Bangladesh team but his recent form and performance in the last match is poor. Considering his recent form he could well be avoided for this fixture.
Reeza Hendricks (SA): Reeza Hendricks is a destructive opening batsman but he is not in his great form right now. In last three T20I innings he has scored 13 runs. He could be avoided for this fixture.
