DHAKA: Bangladesh and South Africa will face off in their second One Day International of the three-match series in Mirpur on Sunday.

The match scheduled to begin at 3:00 local time (09:00 GMT) at Shere Bangla National Stadium.

For the first time since December 2011, Bangladesh were bowled out for less than 200 when batting first in an ODI. Their batting form was not all that good even in the India series, but they managed to get the job done.

South Africa never give up, and in the second ODI, Bangladesh should be prepared to put up a fight, something they have failed to do in the series so far.

If Bangladesh stick to their eight-batsmen strategy, then there isn't much need of a change. If they do revert back to five bowlers, either of Arafat Sunny or Rubel Hossain will likely be picked in the XI.

After their eight-wicket win in the first ODI on Friday, South Africa will look to continue in the same vein, which means changes in the XI are unlikely.
