Tigers look to add South Africa to the list

 

Bangladesh will take on mighty South Africa, eying first-ever series victory, in their third and last match of their three-match National Polymer ODI Cricket Series at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chittagong Wednesday.  The series deciding battle will begin at 3:00pm Bangladesh time. Earlier, Bangladesh sealed a 7 wickets victory over the Proteas in the second match to level the series 1-1 on Sunday at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium after conceding a 8 wickets defeat in the first match at the same venue riding on the visitors pacer Kagiso Rabada’s record best 6/16 including a hat-trick on ODI debut. Including the win in the series Bangladesh won two ODI against South Africa in their 16th ODI battle which is first at home soil after ICC World Cup 2007 in West Indies.  Winning the third match Bangladesh can enjoy four successive series victory after, Zimbabwe 5-0, Pakistan 3-0 and India 2-1, which can carry more sweet for the cricket loving people ahead of the holy Eid. However, the wicket is likely to be flatter and better for batting in Chittagong which would mean a lot of the burden will be on the side batting first. Bangladesh likely to field their second match’s winning squad unchanged for third and last ODI, according to a news agency.
