It is the 22nd match of the T20 World Cup 2022, with South Africa taking on Bangladesh at Sydney Cricket Ground in what is a massive encounter for both these sides.

It was a big steal from the hands of the Proteas, where they were cruising towards victory against Zimbabwe before rain forced them to share the points. Now, they would want to go all in and earn those two essential points against the Bangla Tigers.

Bangladesh were brilliant in their victory against the Netherlands and would want to continue the momentum they gained. They would be extremely motivated to give their opponents a tough time considering they might want to play fearless cricket.

Prediction

Lately, many predictions have gone horribly wrong, and it has nothing to do with team dynamics. Any weaker side has come out on top without any prior notice and dominated the big giants, especially during this mega-event.

However, with this clash, it should not surprise you anymore unless something goes terribly wrong for the Proteas, they should win.
