We are providing safe, perfect and accurate today match prediction for all matches of cricket world cup 2019.

South Africa lost their opening encounter of this big tournament against England by a massive margin of 104 runs. Now they are going to face Bangladesh in their second match. They are going to be playing three matches in the opening week of the cricket World Cup. In their first match against England, they won the toss and decided to field first. Their bowling unit could not perform well in this match. They leaked 311 runs in their 50 overs. Lungi Ngidi remained the most successful bowler from their side who got three wickets against 66 runs in ten overs. Imran Tahir and Kagiso Rabada got two wickets each. Andile Phehlukwayo got one wicket while he leaked 44 runs in eight overs. Their batting unit also failed to give their best performance in this match. They only could manage to score 207 runs and were all-out in 40th over. Their five batsmen could not even enter into the double figure. Quinton de Kock was the most run-scorer from their side who scored 68 runs. Rassie van der Dussen also had an excellent performance in this match. He scored his half-century on 61 deliveries. Hashim Amla could manage to score just 13 runs. Their skipper, Faf du Plessis scored five runs.

Bangladesh has the young but experienced squad for this big event and they have the ability to upset any of the teams it plays against. They beat West Indies for three times in the same series. That will be a big task for Bangladesh team to beat South Africa but there are some players in their side who can do that for Bangladesh. They have a good bowling attack on their side. Mustafizur Rahman is in good form as we saw him in recent series. His presence in the attack alongside Mashrafe Mortaza, Shakib Al-Hasan, Mehidy Hasan are the bowlers who have the ability to perform well against any strong team of this tournament. They also have a choice between Abu Jayed and Rubel Hossain to make a decent bowling attack. These bowlers can be useful for Bangladesh on Oval wicket that is expected to be slower. They also have quality spinners in their side who can perform well on this pitch. Bangladesh also has a decent batting order in their side. Iqbal, Soumya Sarkar, and Mehidy Hasan are in good knock for them. The big names of Bangladeshi side like Tamim Iqbal, Soumya Sarkar, Shakib Al Hasan, Mahmudullah, Mushfiqur Rahim, and Sabbir Rahman will have to perform well against a stronger team to play a key role for a victory to their side.

The pitch at the Oval was bouncy but did not have the pace that it usually does. The groundsman would have had a couple of days in between matches to fix that and we could see an even better batting surface in this match.

A score of 330 seems to be the minimum that teams need to aim for batting first.
