South Africa vs Bangladesh, World Cup 2019 : Head-to-head, Playing XI & Match details

Faf-du-Plessis-led South Africa after losing its 2019 World Cup opener to England will look to win when they face Bangladesh on June 2 at the Oval. While Mashrafe Mortaza led Bangladesh will look to start their World Cup campaign with a victory against the under-pressured proteas.

Key players to watch: 

Hashim Amla (South Africa): After being undone by a vicious Jofra Archer bouncer, Amla's return to the crease in the 32nd over of the innings, came in as a huge relief for South Africa.

 Shakib Al Hasan(Bangladesh): Ranked as the No 1 all-rounder in the ICC ODI rankings, Shakib has always risen up on big occasions for Bangladesh.
