Bangladesh will try to keep their hopes of reaching the knockouts in the World Cup alive as they take on South Africa today.
This will be the 23rd match of the World Cup 2023 and will be played at Wankhede Stadium Mumbai. It will begin at 1:30 p.m.
In a curious twist of events, both teams are not certain that captains Temba Bavuma and Shakib Al Hassan will be fit to play.
Bangladesh enter the game with three consecutive losses against England, New Zealand and India after a win against Afghanistan.
Meanwhile, South Africa overcame the hiccup against the Netherlands with a convincing win over defending champions England.
Conditions are expected to be hot and dry and whoever wins the toss will likely bat first.

1 Quinton de Kock (wk), 2 Temba Bavuma (capt)/Reeza Hendricks, 3 Rassie van der Dussen, 4 Aiden Markram, 5 Heinrich Klaasen, 6 David Miller, 7 Marco Jansen, 8 Gerald Coetzee, 9 Keshav Maharaj, 10 Kagiso Rabada, 11 Lungi Ngidi.
