The SA vs BAN T20 World Cup 2024 match will be played in New York on Monday, June 10 from 8 pm IST. This is the second game for the two teams. South Africa are unbeaten against Bangladesh in T20Is.

SA v BAN Team Analysis

South Africa

Aiden Markram leads South Africa. The side has plenty of players in form who have recently played in the IPL. South Africa managed to beat Sri Lanka in a low-scoring thriller in New York.

This is another crucial game for them. A win here will take them closer to the knockouts. The overall team looks well balanced with plenty of depth with bat and ball.

Bangladesh

Najmul Hossain Shanto will lead Bangladesh. He has many experienced players to fall back on like Shakib Al Hasan, Mahmudullah, and Litton Das.

Bangladesh lost their warm-up match against India heading into this contest. Previously they lost to the USA in a T20I series in a major upset. They are yet to win against South Africa in T20Is and will be under pressure.

SA vs BAN Key Factors

Pitch Conditions

The match will be played at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York. The venue has hosted a few tough games for the batters, Sri Lanka in their first match was bowled out for just 77.

Ireland against India were bowled out for 96. The uneven bounce of the track has posed problems for the batters. The ICC has assured that the remaining games will be played on a decent track with the groundsmen subjected to monitor the pitch.

Form and Fitness

South Africa after their win over Sri Lanka and the Netherlands is full of confidence. Bangladesh is still winless against South Africa in T20Is and hence has some rethinking to do heading into this game. There are no injury concerns from the two teams.

Tactical Acumen

Aiden Markram is a more seasoned captain than Najmul Hossain Shanto who is still new to international captaincy. Both teams have plenty of senior players in their squads for the captains to fall back on.

Both teams are very mercurial in how they play their games and hence need to seize the big moments.
