South Africa have notched up two wins in as many games but neither of them has been convincing. They started with a hard-fought six-wicket win against Sri Lanka in a low-scoring encounter. Chasing a target of 78 on a sticky wicket in New York, the Proteas took 16.2 overs. Aiden Markram and Co. followed it up with a four-wicket win against the Netherlands at the same venue. The Rainbow Nation reached the 104-run target with seven balls to spare.
On the other hand, Bangladesh started their campaign with a thrilling two-wicket win against arch-rivals Sri Lanka in Dallas. The Bangla Tigers had some disappointing results heading into the tournament but they will take a lot of confidence from their winning start.

Probable Best Performers of the match:
Probable Best Batter
The young wicketkeeper-batter Tristan Stubbs came into the tournament on the back of a stellar IPL season, where he scored 378 runs in 14 matches at an average of 54 and a strike rate of 190.91. Here, the pitches have not been as good for batting as in the IPL but Stubbs has shown the eagerness to spend time in the middle and face the adverse conditions head-on. This could hold him in good stead on the difficult New York pitch.
Probable Best Bowler
The cunning left-arm seamer Mustafizur Rahman also had an impressive IPL season, bagging 14 wickets in nine matches. He bowled really well against Sri Lanka in the opening game and finished with figures of 3/17 in his four overs. The Fizz will enjoy bowling on the New York track, where his cutters could be way more lethal than they already are.
