South Africa won the toss and sent Bangladesh to bat first in the T20 World Cup match on Tuesday.

Two changes for Bangladesh. Shamim Hossain comes in for the injured Shakib, and Nasum Ahmed comes in for Mustafizur Rahman. Interesting that they’ve left him out and picked another left-arm spinner. Shamim bowls a bit of offspin too, but he’s more of a batting allrounder.

“Of the three games we played, we were close to winning two,” Mahmudullah says. “Having said that, it’s time to play for our pride now.”

Bangladesh: 1 Mohammad Naim, 2 Liton Das (wk), 3 Shamim Hossain, 4 Soumya Sarkar, 5 Mushfiqur Rahim, 6 Mahmudullah (capt), 7 Afif Hossain, 8 Mahedi Hasan, 9 Nasum Ahmed, 10 Shoriful Islam, 11 Taskin Ahmed

South Africa: 1 Reeza Hendricks, 2 Quinton de Kock (wk), 3 Rassie van der Dussen, 4 Temba Bavuma (capt), 5 Aiden Markram, 6 David Miller, 7 Dwaine Pretorius, 8 Kagiso Rabada, 9 Keshav Maharaj, 10 Anrich Nortje, 11 Tabraiz Shamsi
