ODI MATCH LIVE UPDATES

SA vs BAN World Cup 2023 Live Score Updates: South Africa’s Aiden Markram won the toss and elected to bat against Bangladesh in a World Cup match in Mumbai on Tuesday as regular captain Temba Bavuma remained sidelined through illness. A Proteas spokeswoman said Bavuma had not fully recovered from the stomach problem that forced him out shortly before South Africa’s crushing 229-run win over England in Mumbai on Saturday. Bavuma’s continued absence meant Reeza Hendricks retained his place after responding to a late call-up with a fine 85 against the world champions.

South Africa made one change after paceman Lungi Ngidi, ruled out with a knee injury, was replaced by Lizaad Wiliams — making a World Cup debut in just his second one-day international.

Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan, however, was passed fit following a thigh injury, with the star all-rounder replacing Towhid Hridoy in the only change to a Tigers team defeated by table-toppers India last time out. Markram’s decision to bat first in the heat of the day was understandable given how England had struggled in the energy-sapping conditions, with South Africa century-maker Heinrich Klaasen saying it felt like he was “batting in a sauna”.

Victory over England saw South Africa, who’ve won three of their four matches, get their World Cup campaign back on track after a shock loss to the Netherlands — a non-Test side. Bangladesh, by contrast, have lost three of their four matches and another reverse could end their hopes of reaching the semi-finals. But they go into this game having won three of their last four one-day internationals against South Africa.
