Going by the previous records, South Africa can be overall considered as strong and more experienced than Bangladesh. Moreover, the batting order of this team is also strong and some renowned hitters are part of the squad of this team, for the tournament. Thus, the chances of winning are more in favour of South Africa.
However, the Bangladesh team is equally expected to come up with their incredible form and give a hardy competition to South Africa. Perhaps, the match will be a treat to eyes with plenty of strong performers playing for their teams.
