Abu Dhabi, Nov 2 (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 2nd Nov, 2021 ) :South Africa skipper Temba Bavuma won the toss and elected to bowl against Bangladesh in the Super 12 clash of the Twenty20 World Cup on Tuesday.
The Proteas will play the same team that beat Sri Lanka in the previous match to boost their chances of moving into the semi-finals from Group 1 led by unbeaten England.
"Good for our confidence. It is good that batting got us home," Bavuma said on his team's successful but tense chase against Sri Lanka.
"Looking at the wicket, we hope that it assists our bowlers. We would want to improve our fielding." Bangladesh have made two changes with Shamim Hossain and Nasum Ahmed coming in for Mustafizur Rahman, who has been rested, and Shakib Al Hasan, who was ruled out with hamstring injury.
Captain Mahmudullah Riyad said the team will play for pride after being effectively knocked out of the race for the semi-finals with three losses from three games.
"Still need to play for our pride and get wins under our belt," said Mahmudullah.
"The three games we have played, we were close to winning in two of those games. We would like to play some good cricket."
