Who will win?
Bangladesh doesn’t have a good batting lineup and they mostly rely on Shakib in the middle while South Africa has a very strong batting and bowling unit.
After that unlucky washed out against Zimbabwe, this match has become very important for them, they need to win this to stay alive in the competition.
Hence, we predict that South Africa will beat Bangladesh in the 22nd match of this T20 World Cup 2022.
