South Africa Team News & Playing 11
Team News
After their victory in the first T20I, the South Africans might not think about making changes to their playing 11 for the second game. No injuries in the team were reported at the time of writing.
Key Players
South Africa's batting class resides mainly in their top three - Quinton de Kock, Hashim Amla and AB de Villiers. Both de Kock and de Villiers had a good outing last time and the team will want them to carry on with their good form. Andile Phehlukwayo and Dane Paterson picked up two wickets each and they are likely to trouble the Bangladeshi batsmen again. Beuran Hendricks and Robert Frylinck also took two wickets apiece but they were a little on the expensive side.
Recent Form
South Africa have now won four and lost as many matches out of the eight T20 internationals they have played since the start of 2017. There are no consecutive wins for them this year which shows that the Proteas have not been able to find consistency in their performance.

Bangladesh Team News & Playing 11
Team News
The Bangladeshi team do not have any injury concerns to be worried about ahead of the second T20I. The selectors are expected to retain the same lineup despite the team having faced defeat in the last game.
Key Players
Soumya Sarkar looked to be in control with a brisk 47 in the first T20I and he will be the key man in this Bangladeshi batting lineup for the next game. Mushfiqur Rahim had a good ODI series and the team will need him to replicate his ODI form in the T20s. Shakib Al Hasan could not contribute much the other night but he is expected to make his presence felt this time with both bat and ball. Offspinner Mehidy Hasan was the most impressive of the Bangladeshi bowlers and he will be the main spin threat for South Africa.
Recent Form
Bangladesh succumbed to their fifth loss in six T20 internationals this year. Their bowlers were smashed all over the park in the last game and though they put up a good fight with the bat, South Africa's target proved to be 20 runs too many for them in the end.

South Africa vs Bangladesh Head-to-Head

South Africa vs Bangladesh 2nd T20 Betting Odds
South Africa are huge favorites amongst the bookmakers to win the second T20 international at extremely short odds of 1.16 on 1xbet and 1.12 on Bet365. They have been miles ahead of Bangladesh in all departments of the game and they have not even allowed them to sniff victory in any of the matches. The touring side on the other hand continue to be giant underdogs at a massive 6.8 price on Betfair and 6 on Bet365.
South Africa vs Bangladesh 2nd T20 Prediction
Bangladesh were hoping for some respite with the commencement of the T20I series but their hopes were dashed as South Africa cruised to yet another victory over them. Having gained an unassailable 1-0 in the series, the hosts find themselves in a comfortable position while the pressure is all on the visitors who must win this game to prevent a clean sweep of them across all formats. Even without some of their key players, South Africa are looking strong and we predict them to keep Bangladesh winless on this tour.
Final Verdict: Back South Africa to beat Bangladesh in the second T20 at 1.16 with 1xbet and 1.12 with Bet365.
