17:05 local, 13:05 GMT, 18:35 IST: Hello and a warm welcome to the 'Group B' fixture between Bangladesh and South Africa.

Preview

Heading into their final group fixture of the Women's T20 World Cup, South Africa and Bangladesh are on different ends of the spectrum. However, both teams are aware that anything other than a win, could potentially see them tumble out of the competition.

South Africa put up a strong show against West Indies and Scotland, winning handsomely in both games to hold a very good NRR as they inch closer to a semi-final berth. Although their only blip was against England, they play their last game before the English take the field for their remaining two games. This leaves England with the knowledge of the equation at all times with the advantage heavily on their side.

The openers have been getting solid starts while Marizanne Kapp, Chloe Tryon and Sune Luus who follow are powering the runs for South Africa. With the bowlers having been on the money so far in their two victories, the pieces are aligning for South Africa. Anneke Bosch's promotion to Number 3 might be the only issue the think-tank might raise ahead of the game, having scored only 18 and 11 in two games at less than a run-a-ball.

Bangladesh on the other hand, had a brilliant victory against Scotland on the opening day. But things have only gone downhill from there with back-to-back defeats against England and West Indies. They have struggled with the bat, not having scored 120 in any of their three games so far while only two batters have scored more than 50 runs cumulatively. With their NRR heavily on the wrong side of zero, they seem to be virtually eliminated already but a performance of a lifetime could potentially give them a glimmer of hope of progressing into the last four.

When: Saturday, October 12 at 6 PM local time, 7:30 PM IST

Where: Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai

What to expect: Dubai has played host to a lot more batting friendly conditions than Sharjah with the 170-mark now breached. Temperatures will be in the mid-thirties during the game

Team News

South Africa: Having not made any changes throughout, South Africa in all likelihood shall field the same XI that played the last game against Scotland

Probable XI: Laura Wolvaardt (c), Tazmin Brits, Marizanne Kapp, Anneke Bosch, Sune Luus, Chloe Tryon, Nadine de Klerk, Annerie Dercksen, Sinalo Jafta (wk), Nonkululeko Mlaba, Ayabonga Khaka

Bangladesh: Taj Nehar has scored only eight runs in three matches and she could potentially make way for Murshida Khatun or Disha Biswas

Probable XI: Shathi Rani, Dilara Akter, Sobhana Mostary, Nigar Sultana Joty (c & wk), Shorna Akter, Disha Biswas/ Murshida Khatun, Ritu Moni, Fahima Khatun, Rabeya Khan, Nahida Akter, Marufa Akter
