Bangladesh will face South Africa in the first ODI of the series on Friday. However, in the first ODI, the fate of the toss did not speak for Bangladesh captain Tamim Iqbal. Bangladesh lost the toss. South Africa won the toss and elected to field.
There is a happy memory of Bangladesh in South Africa. That, of course, is not the case against South Africa. Mohammad Ashraful's side lost to West Indies in the 2007 Twenty20 World Cup. That is the first, that is the end.
Today, Bangladesh has made an XI against Proteas with three fast bowlers and two spinners. Mustafiz, Shariful and Taskin are on pace attack. Shakib, Miraj spin attack Bangladesh.
Also in the best XI are Tamim, Liton, Mushfiqur, Yasir Rabbi, Mahmudullah Riyadh and Afif.
Statistics show that Tamim and Shakib have never won in South Africa. However, the Tigers are mentally ahead after winning the ODI series against Afghanistan at home.
Bangladesh has faced them 9 times on South African soil. Bangladesh could not win a single match. This time Bangladesh wants to change that destiny in South Africa tour. Tamim Iqbal's team has entered the field in the first ODI for that purpose today.
The recent form of the ODI team is also giving air to such hopes of Bangladesh. Tamim has won all four of the last five ODIs. Are at the top of the ODI Super League. And South Africa has ten. Needless to say, Bangladesh would like to make an impression on the field performance today.
