South Africa are favorites to win
South Africa and Bangladesh begin their three-match ODI series with a day-night fixture at Supersport Park, Centurion on Friday afternoon. The hosts won their last ODI series 3-0 against India in January. Bangladesh beat Afghanistan 2-1 in February. Read on as we preview this opening game of the series. This ODI begins at 13:00 local time in Centurion.
South Africa come into this game in excellent ODI form after beating India to nil in January. They will be very confident of winning this opening game of the series.
Bangladesh have a very strong recent record in this format of the game. Although they lost the final ODI against Afghanistan in February, they had already won the series and had performed to a high standard.
Star Sports will show the game live in India and throughout the Asia subcontinent. SuperSport will broadcast the match live in South Africa with Sky Cricket in the UK and Fox Cricket showing the game in Australia.
Live Streaming: Fans can stream the match on Disney+ and SkyGo.
In recent ODIs in South Africa, most teams have chosen to bat first if they win the toss. We predict that both skippers will want to bat first.
The pitch is often two-paced in Centurion and we expect to see that again in this match. A par score on this surface will be 290-310.
Cloudy conditions with the temperature between 19 and 17 degrees throughout the game.
Read on for team previews, betting tips, latest odds, and match prediction for South Africa vs Bangladesh 1st ODI Match 2022
After their very impressive 3-0 ODI series win over India earlier this year, we expect South Africa to stick with a very similar team for this opening match. Sisanda Magala failed a fitness test and we predict that he will be replaced by Kagiso Rabada in the only change from their last game in this format.
South Africa are targeting their fourth successive ODI victory.
Quinton de Kock (wk), Janneman Malan, Temba Bavuma (c), Aiden Markram, Rassie van der Dussen, David Miller, Andile Phehlukwayo, Dwaine Pretorius, Keshav Maharaj, Kagiso Rabada, Lungi Ngidi
After a disappointing T20 World Cup at the end of 2021, the Tigers showed that they are still a force to be reckoned with in ODIs, particularly at home. They gave a debut to Yasir Ali in the series against Afghanistan and we expect him to get another opportunity in this match.
Bangladesh ended their five match winning run in ODIs in their last game against Afghanistan.
Tamim Iqbal (c), Liton Das, Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Yasir Ali, Mahmudullah, Afif Hossain, Mehidy Hasan, Taskin Ahmed, Shoriful Islam, Mustafizur Rahman
Although South Africa have a very strong record against Bangladesh, the Tigers won their last ODI contest.

The hosts are favourites to get off to a winning start in the series.
There are some fine batters on show in both teams in this game. Expect the South Africans to start playing their shots early in their innings in this match.
Quinton de Kock, Janneman Malan and Temba Bavuma are our batting tips for South Africa. Malan averages 69.00 from 14 ODIs.
Shakib Al Hasan, Tamim Iqbal and Liton Das are our batting recommendations for Bangladesh. Iqbal has hit 14 centuries in this format.
For South Africa, Kagiso Rabada, Lungi Ngidi and Keshav Maharaj are our bowling tips. Ngidi has 59 wickets from 32 ODIs.
For Bangladesh, Mustafizur Rahman, Shakib Al Hasan and Shoriful Islam are our bowling tips. At 20 years of age, Islam already has 41 wickets.
Bangladesh impressed in their ODI series win over Afghanistan at home in February but South Africa away is a much tougher prospect. Both teams have strong squads but Bangladesh may struggle with a lack of match practice in South African conditions. We are backing the hosts to win this opening ODI.
