We are already in match 30 of ICC t20 world cup Where South Africa will face Bangladesh in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday. Historically, South Africa have dominated Bangladesh in the T20 format and if the current form of these two sides is anything to go by, we can expect this trend to continue.

Bangladesh have not found any momentum in their three matches so far and have lost against Sri Lanka, England and West Indies. In their previous match against West Indies, they were not able to chase down 143 runs in their allotted 20 overs and fell in the last over.
South Africa, on the other hand, have been a resurgent unit after losing to Australia in the first match. In their previous match against Sri Lanka, due to late-order heroics by David Miller and Kagiso Rabada, they died and were buried, but came over the line. In Quinton de Kock, he has a match-winner in the top-order and if the left-hander fires, we could see another impressive performance by the Proteas.
abu dhabi pitch report
The pitch in Abu Dhabi can give a lot of challenge to the batsmen in this match as the slow bowlers, especially the spinners, have got a lot of help. Both these sides have bowlers who can take advantage of the terms of the offer and since it is a one day game, the dew will have no effect.
However, the captain winning the toss could have chosen to field first as has been the practice throughout the tournament.
