T20 World Cup 2022: Match 22, SA vs BAN Match Prediction – Who will win today’s T20 World Cup match between SA vs BAN?

South Africa and Bangladesh are set to take on each other in Match 22 of the T20 World Cup 2022 Super 12 Stages at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Bangladesh survived a scare from the Netherlands in their first encounter and despite the victory, they still have to work on their batting which seems to be an issue. The top-order has looked rusty and chopping and changing personnel has not worked for the Shakib al Hasan-led side. 

On the other hand, the South Africa side almost were on the verge of winning the game against Zimbabwe when rain came down heavily and the match was eventually called off. It was a rain-shortened game already and the bowlers did a fantastic job up front with the new ball. With Quinton de Kock's fireworks inside the powerplay, a similar kind of clinical performance could be expected from the Proteas.

Probable Top Performers from SA vs BAN 

Probable best batter: Quinton de Kock 

Quinton de Kock looked at his supreme best in the previous game against Zimbabwe until the rain spoiled the party. The left-hander was on the verge of breaking his own record of the fastest fifty by a South Africa batter in T20Is and remained unbeaten on 47 off 18 balls. With eight fours and a six in his innings, de Kock made a strong statement and is likely to continue the assault in the upcoming fixture.  

Probable best bowler: Wayne Parnell 

Wayne Parnell has looked in great rhythm with the new ball since his return to the international setup and has been playing a vital role at number seven. The left arm-seamer has used the extra bounce he generates and finished with an economical spell in the previous rain-affected game. He can nail his Yorkers in the final overs and has been an asset in the bowling group.
