๐ICC T20I WC 2024: Match 21: South Africa vs Bangladesh, New York @ 10:30 AM IST๐
South Africa will face Bangladesh in their third match of the T20 World Cup 2024 at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York today.
South Africa have won both of their opening matches, defeating Sri Lanka by six wickets in their first match and beating Netherlands by four wickets in the second.
Bangladesh too began their T20 World Cup 2024 campaign with a two-wicket victory over Sri Lanka and would look to make it two in two.
On this pitch,in the first three games, balls that bounced in the same spot were by no means certain to reach batters at more or less a consistent height.
Couple that with plenty of swing and seam, and an outfield that refused to allow the ball free passage towards the boundary.
Even the kind of calmed down surface we saw on Saturday would keep the bowlers in the game more than they were in the run-soaked spectacle of this year's IPL.
That should make for a better contest than we have seen in previous T20 World Cup games between these teams, which have been dominated by the South Africans.
The fact that neither batting line-up has put in a commanding performance in the three matches they have played so far - David Miller's 51-ball 59 not out against the Dutch is the only half-century scored by a Bangladesh or a South Africa player - also bodes well for those who want to see a decent game of cricket, not just another glut of runs.
