Preview
South Africa will take on Bangladesh in the Group D match of the T20 World Cup 2024 at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York. In their second match of the tournament, South Africa managed to get over the line against Netherlands in a tricky run chase after losing early wickets, getting a stranglehold on the group standings. Following their big win over Sri Lanka in their T20 World Cup 2024 opener, Bangladesh will be upbeat about causing some problems to the Proteas in their upcoming clash.
Pitch Report
The Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York continues to be quite tough for the batters to get any fluency in their stroke play, giving a lot of variable bounce for the pacers to exploit. The average first innings score of 103 at this venue in its short T20I history, can be quite tough for teams to chase if they lose early wickets.
Team Analysis
South Africa
David Miller and Tristan Stubbs were very patient with the bat while resurrecting the South African innings in a tricky run chase of 104 runs against the Netherlands after falling to a score of 3/3 in the first few overs. The bowling lineup for the Proteas was outstanding once again on a spicy pitch in New York, with the likes of Ottneil Baartman, Anrich Nortje, and Marco Jansen being the pick of the bunch against the hapless Dutch batting lineup.

Bangladesh
Bangladesh lost early wickets while chasing a 125-run target against Sri Lanka in Dallas, but the key fourth wicket partnership of 63 runs between Litton Das and Towhid Hridoy put them in a strong position before Madmudullah Riyad used his experience to take the team over the finishing line. In the bowling side of things, the pacers Mustafizur Rahman, Taskin Ahmed, and Tanzim Hasan Sakib were quite good, but it was the leg-spinner Rishad Hossain, who stole the show with his three wickets against the Sri Lankans.
