Dean Elgar struck half-centuries in both innings of the First Test. He is our tip for South Africa’s highest run scorer in this game. With the ball, Keshav Maharaj took 7-32 in the second innings in Durban and is well worth backing as South Africa’s top wicket taker against Bangladesh.
Mahmudul Hasan Joy struck 137 out of Bangladesh’s total of 298 in the First Test. He is our pick for their highest run scorer in this match. Ebadot Hossain was impressive in the opening game and took 3-40 in South Africa’s second innings. He is a strong choice for Bangladesh’s top wicket taker in this clash.
We expect to see another controlled batting performance from Dean Elgar in this Test. He is our prediction for the Player of the Match Award.

SA vs BAN 2nd Test Match Prediction & Betting Tips
The Two-Test Series between South Africa and Bangladesh comes to a conclusion with the Second Test starting on Friday in Port Elizabeth. The hosts were dominant in the First Test in Durban, losing the toss but winning the game by 220 runs. Read on as we preview the Second Test of the series. This Test begins at 10:00 local time at St George’s Park.
South Africa are growing into a very consistent Test Match winning side. Even though they are nowhere near their full strength, they were still way too good for Bangladesh in Durban.
Bangladesh were completely outplayed in the First Test and, with the exception of opener Mahmudul Hasan Joy, the batting unit must up their game if they are to be competitive in Port Elizabeth.

SA vs BAN Match Toss Prediction
Bangladesh won the toss in Durban and inserted South Africa. With the weather conditions looking good for bowling on Day 1, we expect both skippers to choose to field first should they win the toss.
SA vs BAN Pitch Report
Spinners had the most joy on this wicket during the last Test played here in 2020. However, the moist conditions could make the surface more appealing to seam bowlers this time.
Weather Report
The first three days will be played under cloudy skies before the sun becomes dominant on Days 4 and 5. Expect the temperature to be no higher than 20 degrees for the opening three days.

South Africa Team News & Playing 11
SA Team News
With many of their top players unavailable due to IPL commitments, South Africa gave Test debuts to Ryan Rickelton and Lizaad Williams in Durban. Both made useful contributions and will retain their places in what we expect to be an unchanged South Africa XI.
SA Key Players
Dean Elgar - the captain needed to be at his best in Durban and he produced valuable runs in both innings. His scores of 67 and 64 have taken his Test average up to 39.40.
Duanne Olivier - The quick bowler has a very strong Test record but picked up only 1 wicket in the opening game. He will be desperate to chip in with more dismissals in Port Elizabeth.
Keshav Maharaj - After going wicketless in the first innings, the spinner opened the bowling and was ruthless in the second. He now has 141 Test wickets from 41 games
SA Team Form
South Africa are in excellent form in Test cricket at the moment. Apart from one heavy defeat to New Zealand earlier in the year, they have been very strong irrespective of which players they have been able to call upon.
South Africa Predicted Playing 11
Dean Elgar (c), Sarel Erwee, Temba Bavuma, Keegan Petersen, Ryan Rickelton, Wiann Mulder, Kyle Verreynne (wk), Simon Harmer, Keshav Maharaj, Duanne Olivier, Lizaad Williams
South Africa vs Bangladesh Match Prediction
Bangladesh Team News & Playing 11
BAN Team News
The Tigers had been hoping to have the services of star all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan for this Test Match but it has been announced that he has travelled to the USA for family reasons and will not be available. Pace bowler Taskin Ahmed suffered a shoulder injury in Durban and will not play in this match.
BAN Key Players
Mahmudul Hasan Joy - the 21 year old right handed opener produced his first Test century in Durban. He hit 15 fours and 2 sixes in his 326 ball innings.
Liton Das - the keeper-batter hit 41 in the first innings after taking a catch to dismiss Dean Elgar earlier in the game. He is Bangladesh’s form batter across all formats.
Ebadot Hossain - the 28 year old emerged from the First Test with his reputation enhanced. In the second innings he dismissed Sarel Erwee, Temba Bavuma and Duanne Olivier
BAN Team Form
Bangladesh often struggle away from home in Tests. They will be particularly disappointed to have lost all 10 second innings wickets to spin in Durban and their batting must improve.
Bangladesh Predicted Playing 11
Mahmudul Hasan Joy, Shadman Islam, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Mominul Haque (c), Mushfiqur Rahim, Liton Das (wk), Yasir Ali, Mahedi Hasan Miraz, Abu Jayed, Khaled Ahmed, Ebadot Hossain

South Africa vs Bangladesh Betting Odds
After winning the First Test by such an impressive margin, the hosts are once again heavy favourites in this Test. Bangladesh will be weaker than in Durban due to Taskin Ahmed’s injury.
Who will win South Africa vs Bangladesh 2nd Test Match?
Although it was South Africa who emerged with a 220 run victory, Mahmudul Hasan Joy was the only batter to make three figures in Durban. We expect the experienced pair of Dean Elgar and Temba Bavuma to deliver again for South Africa.
South Africa v Bangladesh 2nd Test Top Team Batsmen
Dean Elgar, Keegan Petersen and Temba Bavuma are our batting tips for South Africa. Bavuma hit 93 in the first innings of the First Test. Petersen will be looking to add to his 3 Test half-centuries in his career so far.
Mominul Haque, Liton Das and Mahmudul Hasan Joy are our batting recommendations for Bangladesh. Das hit a half-century and two scores of 40+ on this tour so far. Haque contributed 2 runs in Durban and will be on a mission to produce a valuable innings for his side in Port Elizabeth.
South Africa v Bangladesh 2nd Test Top Team Bowlers
For South Africa, Simon Harmer, Keshav Maharaj and Duanne Olivier are our bowling tips. Olivier has a strike-rate of 35 in Test cricket. Harmer took 7 wickets across the Durban Test.
For Bangladesh, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Ebadot Hossain and Abu Jayed are our bowling tips. Hasan Miraz should enjoy the pitch in Port Elizabeth and took 6 wickets in Durban. Jayed has 30 wickets from 13 Tests with three 4-wicket hauls to his name in this format.
There were positives for Bangladesh to take away from Durban with the maiden Test century for Mahmudul Hasan Joy and the overall bowling performance. However, South Africa were the team capable of producing more consistent cricket throughout the Test. We are predicting a close game but with the hosts coming out on top once again.
