Mustafizur Rahman: South Africa celebrates Bangladesh Day with the Super 12 Game of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021 at the Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi.
It is a hot and humid day on the ground. The team will play on the new pitch.
The surface is green and hard, which is supposed to provide something to the pace bowler. South African captain Temba Bavuma wants to take advantage of it.
South Africa, who will play in second place in the group, will be able to consolidate this position and win to six points in four games.
Bangladesh is looking for the first point of the Super 12 Group.
Playing XI
- Temba Bavuma (capt)

Mustafizur Rahman has rested and left-arm spinner Nasum Ahmed is back in XI.
