On Thursday, South Africa showed Bangladesh the major gap they have with the big opposition when it comes to T20 cricket. The Proteas side thumped the Tigers by a huge 104 runs in their second match of the T20 World Cup 2022. Let’s have a look at the Bangladesh team’s player ratings against the South African side. BAN vs SA 2022: Bangladesh player ratings The confidence level of the Bangladesh team was high after their satisfying victory over the Netherlands in the opening fixture. On the other hand, the South African side was under pressure after losing points against Zimbabwe due to inclement weather. So,it was expected that the Proteas side would come out with a lot of aggression against the Tigers in order to increase their run rates. South African players did exactly what they planned to do against Bangladesh. In contrast, Bangladesh's players choked big time and suffered a huge defeat. Here are the player ratings of the Bangladesh cricketers.

He played a very bad shot off an incoming delivery by Nortje, which resulted in a clean bowled. Soumya Sarkar (3/10) Soumya smacked two beautiful sixes in the mid-wicket region and showed intent to chase down South Africa’s massive 206 run target. But after making a 26-run stand with Najmul Hossain in 2 overs, Soumya lost his wicket to Anrich Nortje. Litton Das (5/10) Litton Das played a decent 34 off 31 balls knock after coming to the crease in the third over. He stayed at the crease till the 14th over, witnessing the wickets fall of the Bangladesh players. Shakib Al Hasan (4/10)Shakib is yet to fulfill his expectations in the ongoing Twenty20 World Cup. The left-hand all-rounder made 1 run and picked up 2 wickets with the ball at an economy rate of 11. Afif Hossain (3/10) Afif didn’t do much with the bat in this match, scoring only 1 run. But he got the wicket of Quinton de Kock when bowling the 15th over. Mehidy Hasan Miraz (2/10) Yasir Ali was replaced by off-spinning all-rounder Mehidy Hasan Miraz for this match. However, his inclusion proved to be fruitless. Miraz conceded 32 runs in 3 overs and made 11 runs with the bat. Mosaddek Hossain (2/10)Mosaddek played a crucial knock in the last match against the Netherlands. But he didn’t do anything against South Africa. Mosaddek conceded 16 runs in 2 overs and made a duck with the bat.

Hasan Mahmud (5/10) Hasan Mahmud continued his good showing with the ball in the match against South Africa. The promising young pacer finished his spell with a 4-0-36-1.

The left-arm pacer had the best economy rate among the bowlers despite remaining wicketless. Mustafizur's final tally was 4-0-25-0. Aftermath Bangladesh's 104-run loss against South Africa was their biggest defeat in T20 cricket, making the Shakib-led team even more embarrassing. The bowling unit performed well in Bangladesh's opening T20 World Cup 2022 encounter against the Netherlands, which enabled them to win the match. But against South Africa, the Tigers woefully failed in every area, which had an impact on their players' ratings. Read More: T20 World Cup 2022: Bangladesh player ratings vs Netherlands

South Africa have had an instance of being eliminated from ICC events after losing points due to inclement weather. They started the T20 World Cup 2022 campaign by sharing 1 point each with Zimbabwe and now hope for good weather for their Thursday fixture against Bangladesh in Sydney. Tigers, on the other hand, will be looking to choke an under-pressure Proteas side in order to secure their second consecutive victory. 2022 Twenty20 World Cup: Bangladesh vs South Africa Match Preview South Africa are a way better team than Bangladesh in all departments. In addition, the conditions will also favour the Proteas side as their players are well versed in what it takes to perform better on Australian pitches. The South African side, therefore, is expected to show a dominant performance against Bangladesh in order to clinch their first victory of the competition. Read: T20 World Cup 2022: Ireland upset England in rain-hit match Bangladesh players, on the other hand, have no prior experience of playing in Australia. Besides, the batters have continued to show their limitations in execution. The expectations from the batting unit, therefore, should not be so high. Keeping as many wickets as possible in hand for the death overs would be key for them to consolidate a challenging total to defend. If the Tigers are to upset the Proteas, the pace bowlers will have to shoulder the majority of the responsibility, as they did in the first match. Bangladesh vs South Africa: H2H T20I Record Bangladesh have no wins in the T20 format against South Africa. They have lost all seven matches played against the Proteas national men’s side. The Proteas will once again be favourites to win tomorrow’s match, but the Tigers will try to make it harder for them.

Bangladesh vs South Africa 2022 Twenty20 World Cup: Who will likely be in the playing XI The Bangladesh team might not make any changes to their winning combination.
