Who will win the match? – South Africa
SA vs BAN Preview:
South Africa’s bowlers secured their third win of the tournament by defending a modest total of 113 runs against Bangladesh in their last match in New York. Key performers included Keshav Maharaj, Anrich Nortje, and Kagiso Rabada.
The batsmen have faced significant challenges, with all three matches played at the same New York venue. In their opening game, they lost four wickets while chasing a 78-run target against Sri Lanka. In the second match, they lost six wickets before reaching a 104-run target against the Netherlands in the 19th over. As they head to St. Vincent for their final group stage match, South Africa hopes for a batting resurgence.
The pitch in St. Vincent is expected to be more favorable for batting than the one in New York. This should allow players like Quinton de Kock, Aiden Markram, and Heinrich Klaasen to find their rhythm and make significant contributions against a relatively inexperienced bowling attack.
David Miller has been a consistent performer in the lower middle order, scoring an unbeaten 59 against the Netherlands and a slower-paced 29 against Bangladesh. Reeza Hendricks and Quinton de Kock will be crucial at the top of the order. They need to find form and provide a strong start during the powerplay overs.
Overall, South Africa has a stronger squad and is expected to have the upper hand in this contest.
Nepal has struggled in both their warm-up games and group matches. They were bowled out cheaply by the Dutch bowlers and, despite a commendable bowling effort, couldn’t secure a win.
Captain Rohit Paudel will be looking for openers Kushal Bhurtel and Aasif Sheikh to form a steady and impactful partnership at the top. The middle order, comprising Paudel, Kushal Malla, and Dipendra Singh, is crucial for setting a competitive total. Nepal has depth in their batting lineup with several capable lower-order batsmen.
Nepal’s bowlers have shown promise in recent years, particularly in last year’s Asia Cup. The bowling attack, led by Karan KC, Sompal Kami, and Dipendra Singh Airee, looked impressive in their last game. If Nepal bowls first, they could make a significant impact. However, to secure a win, the batsmen need to put up a competitive score when batting first.
SA vs BAN Possible Playing XI:
South Africa: Aiden Markram (c), Quinton de Kock(wk), Reeza Hendricks, Heinrich Klaasen, David Miller, Tristan Stubbs, Marco Jansen, Keshav Maharaj, Tabraiz Shamsi, Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje.
Nepal: Rohit Paudel (c), Kushal Bhurtel, Aasif Sheikh (wk), Sundeep Jora, Kushal Malla, Dipendra Singh Airee, Gulsan Jha, Sompal Kami, Karan KC, Abinash Bohara, Lalit Rajbanshi.
