ODI World Cup 2023: Match 23, South Africa vs Bangladesh Match Prediction – Who will win today’s match between South Africa vs Bangladesh?

The 23rd match of the 2023 Cricket World Cup is set to take place between South Africa (SA) and Bangladesh (BAN) at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium on October 24th, with the game scheduled to start at 2:00 PM (IST).

After facing a challenging situation following their loss to the Netherlands, South Africa managed to successfully recover by defeating England. Their performance against the reigning Cricket World Cup champions was notably strong, but they must be cautious not to repeat any mistakes when facing Bangladesh.

Bangladesh kicked off their 2023 Cricket World Cup campaign with an encouraging win against Afghanistan. However, subsequent losses to England, New Zealand, and India have dented their momentum. While a fourth consecutive defeat might somewhere eliminate their chances of reaching the semi-finals, a loss could significantly impact the remainder of their tournament journey.

Wankhede Stadium Pitch Report:

This match is the second of five at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium in the tournament. The pitch should help the runs flow, but historically, the average score in the last five ODIs at this venue has been around 269, not typically a high-scoring ground. South Africa recently scored 399 here, defying the usual trend.

The days leading up to the match are expected to be rain-free, and there is no indication of adverse weather conditions for the match day. Therefore, we anticipate a complete and uninterrupted fixture. Mumbai, in line with India's typical climate, will experience the usual high temperatures and humidity levels.

Probable Best Performers

Probable Best Batter: Heinrich Klaasen (South Africa)

Dynamic South African batter Heinrich Klaasen, who recently delivered a remarkable century against England, considered it one of his career's finest innings despite the draining Mumbai heat. With the upcoming match against Bangladesh at the same venue, Klaasen faces another test of enduring the scorching conditions. Nevertheless, he is in excellent form and aims to maintain his performance.

Probable Best Bowler: Kagiso Rabada (South Africa)

Kagiso Rabada remains a persistent threat, unfazed by the conditions. Although he hasn't delivered explosive performances in the World Cup so far, his consistent efforts have raised significant challenges for opponents. His crucial 3/33 against Australia played a pivotal role in restricting the five-time champions to just 177 runs, making Rabada a formidable force in the tournament.
