India Cricket WCup — Can South Africa continue their winning momentum?

South Africa will lock horns with Bangladesh in Match 23 of the 2023 World Cup today in Mumbai. The Proteas recorded a big win over defending champions England in their previous outing at the Wankhede Stadium. Aiden Markram's men will be keen to continue in the same vein.

Bangladesh, meanwhile, lost their last match against India. The Tigers have failed to play to their full potential in this World Cup and have managed only one win so far. They beat South Africa in an away ODI series during the ICC Cricket World Cup Super League. It will be interesting to see if Bangladesh can replicate that performance in Mumbai.

Both teams played their previous game without their regular captain. South Africa's Temba Bavuma was ill, while Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al Hasan had a niggle in his left quadriceps.

Before the South Africa vs Bangladesh match starts, here's a look at the pitch history, probable XIs, live streaming and telecast details for this 2023 World Cup game.

South Africa vs Bangladesh 2023 World Cup Match Prediction

Except for the match against the Netherlands, South Africa have been quite dominant in the 2023 World Cup so far. The Proteas know the conditions in Mumbai well, and their batting lineup is in better form compared to Bangladesh's batters.

Looking at the way South Africa crushed England, it should not be a surprise if they record another big win at the Wankhede Stadium. Bangladesh will have to be at their absolute best to trouble the Proteas today.

Prediction: South Africa to win against Bangladesh in today's World Cup match.
