South Africa will be up against Bangladesh in Match 23 of the ICC Cricket World Cup, 2023 on October 24 at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, India. The match is scheduled to begin at 02:00 PM IST. South Africa head into the match on the back of a massive 229-run win over reigning champions England on Saturday. The Proteas, after registering two back-to-back wins, had lost some ground following their shock loss to the Netherlands. However, a win in the previous match has put the Temba Bavuma-led team back in contention for the semi-finals. (World Cup points table)

Bangladesh, meanwhile, will go into the match after suffering a hat-trick of defeats against England, New Zealand and India. Despite starting the ICC World Cup 2023 campaign with a win against Afghanistan, the Bangla Tigers have fallen sideways in the race for the knockout spot. A win over South Africa on Tuesday will put them back in the hunt for the top-four spot.
