A 15-minute delay marked the start of South Africa's campaign in the Twenty20 tri-series with a combination of a power failure and a misunderstanding - South Africa misread the playing conditions and thought the game began at 13:30 not 13:00 local time.
Once at the ground, South Africa chose to bat on what Hashim Amla called "a good wicket." Faf du Plessis was the notable exclusion from the XI as South Africa opted to open the batting with the usual combination of Amla and Richard Levi. The rest of the side also had a familiar look, with JP Duminy, Albie Morkel, Robin Peterson and Lonwabo Tsotsobe included. Dane Vilas will keep wicket, replacing AB de Villiers, who has been rested from the series.
Bangladesh made one change to the side that lost to Zimbabwe on Sunday in the series opener. Tamim Iqbal was ruled out with a quadricep tear and has been replaced by 19-year Anamul Haque. Bangladesh failed to chase down 155 against Zimbabwe on a slow pitch at Harare Sports Club.
South Africa: 1 Hashim Amla (capt), 2 Richard Levi, 3 Colin Ingram, 4 JP Duminy, 5 Justin Ontong, 6 Albie Morkel, 7 Robin Peterson, 8 Dane Vilas (wk), 9 Wayne Parnell, 10 Marchant de Lange, 11 Lonwabo Tsotsobe
Bangladesh: 1 Anamul Haque, 2 Mohammad Ashraful, 3 Ziaur Rahman, 4 Mushfiqur Rahim (capt & wk), 5 Mahmudullah, 6 Nasir Hossain, 7 Jahurul Islam, 8 Mashrafe Mortaza, 9 Elias Sunny, 10 Abdur Razzak, 11 Abul Hasan
