AI overview

South Africa get the nod at 80% in this 2nd ODI, with Bangladesh at 20%. It is a strong lean, not a lock.

Lean: South AfricaSurface: Dry / turningToss: bat firstHome side: South Africa

St George's Park hosts South Africa against Bangladesh in the 2nd ODI, number 4 in an 8-match Bangladesh tour of South Africa, 2026. It is listed for Friday 27 November 2026, with the start at 19:30 IST. South Africa have home conditions on their side, which our model counts as a small edge.

South Africa's edge is their pace attack, while Bangladesh's is their spin attack. The side whose strength suits St George's Park gets the first say. St George's Park is a slower surface that gives spinners more of a say than most grounds in the country, so we expect a dry / turning surface with a first-innings score around 279–324 for South Africa and 257–299 for Bangladesh.

Warm days keep the surface hard, with afternoon storms possible on the highveld. The toss lean is to bat first. The surface is expected to slow and grip, so setting a target is the safer plan.
