BAN vs RSA Match Prediction & Analysis
After securing a commanding win in the first Test versus Bangladesh, the touring South African side will be eager to win the second Test too. A 2-0 win here will boost their chances of qualifying for the World Test Championship final. On the other hand, Bangladesh have plenty to address, especially within their top order, which must step up their game if they aspire to stage a comeback.
TEAMS PREVIEW
Bangladesh Preview
Bangladesh will be sorely disappointed with their performance in the first Test of the series. They were bundled out for 106 in the first innings and were reeling at 112-6 in the second, before Mehidy Hasan Miraz (97) and Jaker Ali (58) helped take them to 307. That still wasnβt enough as South Africa cantered to a 7-wciket win.
South Africa Preview
South Africa couldnβt have asked for a better start to their white ball tour of Bangladesh. Despite missing regular captain Temba Bavuma and despite having a relatively inexperienced batting unit, they put up a spirited performance to register an emphatic 7-wicket win.
Weather Conditions
The pitch at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium will favor spinners. However, it wonβt be as difficult for batting as the pitch in Dhaka. The first two days of the Tests will be the best time to bat. As the match progresses, the ball will grip the surface and turn more. Seamers too will find movement off the pitch in the morning session.
The weather in Chattogram throughout the Test will be hot and humid with sunshine and a few clouds. The sun will beat on hard during the day and players might tire out quickly. There is no forecast of rain so we should get an uninterrupted game.
BAN vs RSA Pitch Report
The average first innings score at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium is 380. This is more or less what both teams will target in their first innings. It wonβt be easy, though, once the pitch breaks and starts to turn.
Toss: To Bat
10 of the 24 Tests played at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram have been won by the team batting first; 7 have been won by the fielding side and 7 have been drawn. We reckon, both teams will look to bat first and put on a decent total to get ahead in the game.
