Aiden Markram-led South Africa cricket team is all set to go one-on-one against Najmul Hossain Shanto's Bangladesh in match 21 of the ongoing edition of the T20 World Cup 2024 which will be played at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York, on June 10 (Monday). Both teams are yet to face defeat in this mega tournament and would try to keep this unbeaten run going by extending their winning stint with another big victory. Proteas will most likely seal their spot in the Super 8 stage with a win against Bangladesh as it will be their third straight win. On the other hand, the Bangla Tigers are coming here after a hard-fought win against Sri Lanka and would edge closer to the next round with another win here.
Head-to-Head
South Africa have not ever lost against Bangladesh in the T20 World Cups. They have a 3-0 lead against the Asian side.
Pitch Report
The pitch will favour the bowlers and the slow outfield won't make scoring runs easy. It is unlikely to be a high-scoring game. It is the same venue as the IND vs PAK game.
