Predictions
With just 20 over’s to play per side, Bangladesh’s form and confidence may well take a beating as the South Africans are a very talented group. They will start the game as favorites to beat the hosts comfortably. Meanwhile, Bangladesh will start the game as outsiders and will have to be at their best if they have to beat a South African side with the likes of AB de Villiers as the skipper. Proteas will be favorites to win and as per Sports Mirchi predictions they have got 65 percent winning chances.
Though Bangladesh has had some great results in the last couple of months, the South Africans will provide a completely different set of challenges for them to face. They will want to portray themselves well at the beginning of the series so they can believe in themselves that they can win games irrespective of the opposition. It will be a good match to watch as both teams will give their all for an early victory in the series.
