The 22nd match of World Cup T20 2022 is scheduled to play between South Africa and Bangladesh on Thursday, 27th October 2022 at Sydney Cricket Ground, Sydney

South Africa had been just outstanding in the recent T20 series and they were also good in an uncompleted match against Zimbabwe. They leaked 79 runs in nine overs and almost all bowlers from their side performed well. Lungi Ngidi was the most successful bowler with two wickets to his name in two overs against 20 runs. Wayne Parnell and Anrich Nortje picked one wicket each while Kagiso Rabada and Keshav Maharaj picked one wicket each. The way how the batters of South Africa performed in the previous match was just outstanding. They scored 51 runs in just three overs when the match was stopped. Quinton de Kock continued his good form and smashed the inning of 47 runs on just 18 balls with the help of eight boundaries and one huge six. The skipper, Temba Bavuma scored just two runs.

South Africa was just amazing in the recent three T20 series against England, Ireland, and India. They won the series against Ireland and England while they were beaten in the T20 series against India. They also had beaten New Zealand in a warm-up game. Quinton de Kock is the leading batter who had been good in recent matches. He played the main role in each and every win for the team in the previous series and he also performed well in the recent season of CPL. He was also outstanding in the first match but his opening partner, the skipper Temba Bavuma is struggling and he is not in good form. Rilee Rossouw, Reeza Hendricks, and David Miller are other key batters of South Africa. These all batters have played a lot of cricket in the conditions of Australia and we are sure that they will perform well in this tournament. Lungi Ngidi, Kagiso Rabada, Keshav Maharaj, and Tabraiz Shamsi are big names in T20 cricket and will play the main role in each and every win of South Africa.

Bangladesh was not good in their first match of the ICC T20 World Cup even though they were on the winning side. The key batters of Bangladesh like Litton Das, Shakib Al Hasan, Soumya Sarkar, and Yasir Ali were struggling. They put a total of just 144 runs on the board in 20 overs on a pitch that was good for batting. Afif Hossain proved the most successful and highest run-scorer from their side with 38 runs to his name on 27 balls with the help of two boundaries and the same huge sixes. Mosaddek Hossain also performed well and scored 20 runs. He faced 12 balls and smashed two boundaries and one huge six. Najmul Hossain Shanto was the other batter who put some runs on the board. He scored 25 runs on 20 balls.

The batting order of Bangladesh needs to give the best performance in the remaining matches to win the games for their team. Najmul Hossain Shanto is an opening batter of Bangladesh and he needs to provide a good opening start to the top and middle batting order. Soumya Sarkar is back to the side after a gap and he should play a main role Litton Das, Yasir Ali, and the skipper, Shakib Al Hasan are other good batters in the squad of Bangladesh. Taskin Ahmed, Hasan Mahmud, Shakib Al Hasan, Mustafizur Rahman, Soumya Sarkar, and Mosaddek Hossain are key bowlers in the squad of Bangladesh. Taskin Ahmed was the most successful and highest wicket-taker in the previous match with four wickets to his name in four overs against just 25 runs. Hasan Mahmud picked up two wickets in four overs while he was charged with just 15 runs. Soumya Sarkar and Shakib Al Hasan picked one wicket each while Mosaddek Hossain and Mustafizur Rahman were the bowlers who failed to pick any wicket.

The toss will play an important role in the decision of all matches of World Cup T20. Having a good total on the board is always a big advantage in these kinds of big matches. According to our toss prediction, the team who will win the toss may choose to bat first.

The 22nd match of World Cup T20 2022 is going to be held at Sydney Cricket Ground, Sydney. We had observed in the previous matches played here that the pitch here at this venue is good for batting. The track is slower than the others we have seen and helps the spinners quite a bit. We are hoping that the surface is bound to get slower and be a bit more difficult for batting in this match. A score of 180 is going to be tough to chase.

The weather forecast in Sydney is predicting some clouds around on match day but the weather forecast does not predict rain. We should be able to have a full uninterrupted match.
