Bangladesh bowling against South Africa in 2nd ODI

Sports Desk: Winning the toss, Bangladesh invited the host South Africa to bat first in the second match of the three-match One-Day International (ODI) series at Boland Park in Paarl on Wednesday.

Opener Tamim Iqbal, who sustained a thigh injury, has returned in the second ODI replacing all-rounder Mohammad Saifuddin.

Tigers conceded a humiliating defeat in the first match, and they must be desperate today to keep the series hopes alive against the top-ranked Proteas.

Bangladesh squad: Tamim Iqbal, Imrul Kayes, Liton Kumar Das (wk), Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim, Mahmudullah Riyad, Sabbir Rahman, Nasir Hossain, Mashrafe Bin Mortaza (captain), Taskin Ahmed and Rubel Hossain.

South Africa squad: Quinton de Kock (wk), Hashim Amla, Faf du Plessis (captain), AB de Villiers, Farhaan Behardien, Jean-Paul Duminy, Dwaine Pretorius, Andile Phehlukwayo, Kagiso Rabada, Dane Paterson and Imran Tahir.
