DHAKA: South Africa captain Faf du Plessis has won the toss and elected to bowl against Bangladesh at the Kennington Oval in London on Sunday (June 2).

The match is scheduled to begin at 3:30pm (Bangladesh time) .

South Africa spinner Imran Tahir will be playing in his 100th ODI when he takes field in his team’s second match of World Cup 2019.

The Proteas were condemned to a 104-run defeat largely due to England’s ability to use the conditions better and the combined brilliance of Jofra Archer and Ben Stokes.

Faf du Plessis: "We're playing the extra seamer today so we want to try and attack Bangladesh with some extra pace. We want to take the learning from the previous game."

It is the Bangladesh’s World Cup 2019 opener. 

Mashrafe Mortaza: "I'm fine. We are pretty confident. We've had a good preparation."
