South Africa vs Bangladesh, Mumbai Pitch report

The Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai is one of the most high-scoring venues in the country. It will have plenty of bounce for the pacers and this will allow the batters to hit through the line as was shown by Heinrich Klaasen and Marcon Jansen in the last match against England.

With dew playing a part, the captain winning the toss could opt to bowl first, but the ball moves under lights and this will be a tricky decision to make.
