- Mashrafe Mortaza is also a small doubt but is expected to be passed fit.
Match Tips:
- Weather Forecast: Mostly cloudy with the temperature hovering between 17-20 degrees and a 7% chance of rain.
- The Pitch is likely to be batsman-friendly with assistance for the spinners in the 2nd innings.
- Even without Steyn, South Africa possess a fearsome bowling attack. However, their batting lineup is over-reliant on Amla, De Kock and Du Plessis.
- Match Prediction: Bangladesh will give South Africa a tough fight. However, expect the Proteas to scrape through in the end.
Key Players:
Bangladesh: Shakib al-Hasan, Mustafizur Rahman, Mushfiqur Rahim
