South Africa seeks series win against Bangladesh to boost World Test Championship hopes

espncricinfo.com

South Africa aims for a 2-0 series win against Bangladesh in their final away Test of the World Test Championship cycle. They won the first Test and are looking to maintain momentum despite missing captain Temba Bavuma due to injury. Bangladesh will be without batter Jaker Ali, who is sidelined with a concussion. The team is also facing internal challenges, including captain Najmul Hossain Shanto's desire to step down after the series. Chattogram's pitch is expected to favor batters, contrasting with the conditions in Mirpur. Both teams are under pressure, with South Africa needing to win most of their remaining Tests to qualify for the WTC final.
