South Africa vs Bangladesh on October 15

After a one-sided Test series, Bangladesh would look to hit back at South Africa in their strongest format, ODI cricket. Bangladesh will need to put on a huge effort to find any success away from home unlike the ease with which they got past oppositions in their own backyard and they learnt it with the Test series against South Africa where they couldn’t match the home side at any point. The Asian team can take the confidence of defeating the South Africans in their previous series and hope to get off the mark with a win against the home side.

·         Best economical pick – Bangladesh’s Soumya Sarkar scored 205 runs in the previous series between the two teams at an average of 102.5 in the three innings. Soumya Sarkar’s 90 in the last ODI between the two sides in 2015 is the highest individual score for a Bangladesh player in ODI cricket against South Africa. In the previous game, Sarkar scored an unbeaten 88 which is the 2nd highest for a Bangladesh player against South Afria.

·         Top captains & vice captains – AB de Villiers’ batting average in ODI cricket against Bangladesh is 71. He has scored 213 runs against them in five innings with two fifties. Hashim Amla smashed 2 centuries in the 2 match test series. The right-hander is a class batsman to have at the top of the order as he has the right blend of attack and defense. He is a senior statesman in this team and will have to strike the telling blows upfront.

·       Smart pick – Kagiso Rabada was the star of the show with the ball in the second test as he picked up a couple of five-wicket hauls during the Test match to complete his third 10-wicket haul in the match. He also reached the tally of 100 Test wickets to become the youngest player to achieve the feat for South Africa.

·         Cautious Pick – Imrul Kayes has been in and out of the side due to his inconsistency and this test was a big opportunity to prove himself at the helm of the batting order. Like always he failed in the test series so making a place in the Playing XI will be very difficult for him as of now.

My XI – AB de Villiers (Captain), Hashim Amla (Vice-Captain), Soumya Sarkar, Kagiso Rabada, Mustafizur Rahman, Dwaine Pretorius, Wayne Parnell, Quinton de Kock, David Miller, Sabbir Rahman, Mushfiqur Rahim
