South Africa come into this game with the hopes of making it to the semi-finals. They have one win in three games, which came against New Zealand. Currently, the team is in the fourth spot in the table but has a much higher net run rate than New Zealand and Sri Lanka. The Proteas women are coming into the game on the back of a six-wicket defeat against group leaders Australia. The team scored 124 runs which the Aussie women chased down in just 16.3 overs. All-rounder Marizanne Kapp with her form will be key to success in the clash against Bangladesh.

Bangladesh form
Bangladesh is yet to open their account in this competition. They have lost all three of their games so far. They can cause a massive upset if they can pin the hosts South Africa on Tuesday. The team has shown brilliance in flashes but has not been consistent which has been the cause of their downfall. Marufa Akter has taken four wickets in the competition so far and will be eager to add more to her tally. They are a well-balanced side which can cause some serious damage to South African dreams.
Bangladesh Lineup
Murshida Khatun, Sobhana Mostary, Sharmin Akhter, Shorna Akter, Salma Khatun, Ritu Moni, Rumana Ahmed, Nigar Sultana(C), Shamima Sultana, Nahida Akter, Fahima Khatun
Expert betting tips
The pitch will assist batters but it will also help the spinners. Turn and bounce is plenty on this track which can be exploited. Teams will prefer to defend a total on this pitch as the trend goes. We expect a low-scoring game and South Africa to come out on top.
