South Africa captain Aiden Markram has won the coin toss and opted to bat against Bangladesh in their Group D encounter at the Twenty20 World Cup. The pitch at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York continues to be under the spotlight for its dual-paced nature.
WESTBURY, N. Y. — South Africa captain Aiden Markram called correctly at the coin toss and opted to bat against Bangladesh in their Group D encounter at the Twenty20 World Cup on Monday.
Bowling first has been an obvious call, with 120 considered to be a par score. But with India and Pakistan having played on it Sunday, the Proteas chose to take advantage of the used pitch by batting first. South Africa is unchanged from its previous game, while Bangladesh has made one change. Batting all-rounder Soumya Sarkar is left out, with opening batter Jaker Ali taking his spot.
