Read on as we unfold South Africa’s Playing XI for the ODI World Cup 2023 against Bangladesh. Four-time semifinalists, South Africa have had a great World Cup so far. Apart from having an upset against the Netherlands, the team has won games by a huge margin.

After this defeat, the Proteas inflicted the highest defeat to the defending champions, England by 229 runs in Mumbai.

Meanwhile, after a break of three days, i.e October 24, the Green Brigade will play against Bangladesh at the same venue. While the four-time semifinalists are favorites not just to win but to maul the opposition, they still wouldn’t want to take their opponents lightly. Meanwhile, in this listicle, we will discuss the possible playing XI of South Africa

Probable South Africa’s Playing XI against Bangladesh

1. Top Order

Talking about the top-order, only one change can be made although that will be harsh on Reeza Hendricks, who scored a terrific fifty against the Three Lions. Skipper Temba Bavuma missed the game due to fever but might make a comeback. It will be a difficult selection for the team. Apart from them, the likes of Quinton de Kock (wk) and Rassie van der Dussen are certain to play.

2. Middle-order and all-rounder

The team has one of the best middle-order batters in the form of Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klassen, and David Miller in the team. During the tournament, these players have played a massive role in the team getting to an above par total. 

Apart from them, Marco Jansen, known for his bowling, has improved his batting a lot. In the game against England, he scored 75 not out. All these players are set to play against Bangladesh.

3. Bowlers

Their bowlers have done well in the first four games, picking 37 wickets so far. The likes of Kagiso Rabada, Gerald Coetzee and Lungi Ngidi make up for a good fast bowling foursome. In the spin bowling department, Keshav Maharaj and Tabraiz Shamsi have done well but only the former might play this game.
