South Africa won the toss and will bowl
Hello and welcome to the live coverage of the match 34 in the 2007 Cricket World Cup where South Africa could effectively close the World Cup aspirations of Bangladesh in the Super Eights match number 10 at the Providence Stadium in Guyana.
The tournament has taken a two-day break, allowing the teams to regroup and refocus. But it could come too late for Bangladesh, who sit at the bottom of the table without a win in their three games. And, surely, the side they would least like to be facing in this position would be the World Number 1 one-day international side.
But the Proteas have not been overly convincing since battering the hapless Scotland and Netherlands in the group stage. A defeat to Australia and a nervous win over Sri Lanka by one wicket was their record before they expectedly beat Ireland in a Duckworth/Lewis decided contest. And any side who are tottering on with their confidence need to be weary of Bangladesh.
Team news is that Bangladesh have called up all-rounder Farhad Reza to replace the injured Tapash Baisya while South Africa should retain much the same team that has served them in the tournament thus far.
Who will win today? Well, despite South Africa not playing their very best cricket, it would be a major shock if they didn't win.
The Providence Stadium in Guyana, while slightly blighted by poor crowds and the typical winter-into-spring weather, is a very pleasant stadium and has provided this World Cup with some good contests. This will be the fifth game to be played here.
It will be just the 8th time these two sides have played in one-day internationals. Their last meeting was way back in the ICC Champions Trophy of September 2004 in England. Bangladesh were rumbled for just 93 and South Africa, as in all the previous games, won easily. There have been two 10 wicket win, one 9 wicket, one 7 wicket and the three 'by runs' victories have been by 83 runs or more.
Just the one clash in the World Cup to talk of and that was in Bloemfontein in 2003 when Bangladesh were bowled out for only 108 and the Proteas needed only 12 overs to win by 10 wickets.
The highest individual score for Bangladesh v South Africa is 71 by Alok Kapali at Dhaka in 2002/2003.
The highest individual score for South Africa v Bangladesh is 153 by Herschelle Gibbs at Potchefstroom in 2002/2003.
The best bowling performance for Bangladesh v South Africa is 4-65 by Talha Jubair at Potchefstroom in 2002/2003.
The best bowling performance for South Africa v Bangladesh is 4-24 by Shaun Pollock at Kimberley in 2002/2003 and Makhaya Ntini at Bloemfontein in 2002/2003.
