T20 World Cup: Bangladesh bat first vs South Africa

Bangladesh lost the toss and were sent to bat first in their fourth match in the Super 12s stage of the T20 World Cup on Tuesday at Abu Dhabi.

Bangladesh lost three matches on the trot, and they have no real chance to qualify for the semifinals. Still, the last two matches of Super 12s will play a big role in their ranking that might guarantee a Super 12s berth in the next World Cup.

Bangladesh made two changes— Nasum Ahmed and Shamim Hossain are recalled to the playing XI to replace Shakib Al Hasan and Mustafizur Rahman.

Bangladesh (Playing XI): Mohammad Naim, Liton Das(w), Soumya Sarkar, Mushfiqur Rahim, Mahmudullah(c), Afif Hossain, Shamim Hossain, Mahedi Hasan, Nasum Ahmed, Shoriful Islam, Taskin Ahmed

South Africa (Playing XI): Quinton de Kock(w), Reeza Hendricks, Temba Bavuma(c), Rassie van der Dussen, Aiden Markram, David Miller, Dwaine Pretorius, Kagiso Rabada, Keshav Maharaj, Anrich Nortje, Tabraiz Shamsi
