On Sunday, the Wanderers Stadium will host the second ODI of the three-match series between South Africa and Bangladesh. South Africa was dragged back to earth in the first ODI against Bangladesh after defeating India 3-0 in the last ODI series. The hosts will have plenty of confidence going into this encounter.
Bangladesh beat South Africa for the first time in the first One-Day International at Centurion Park on Friday. Before Friday’s match, Bangladesh had never beaten South Africa in South Africa. They will be full of confidence and believe they have a good chance of winning 2-0.
Weather
The weather was cloudy with sunny moments throughout the ODI, with temperatures ranging from 19~21°C.
Pitch
The batting surface in Johannesburg is excellent. On this ground, AB de Villiers hit a 30-ball ODI century against the West Indies. To take up wickets, bowlers will have to put in a lot of effort. Batting first and scoring runs should be the strategy going ahead.
