Fantasy Cricket: TFG Pundit tips for South Africa v Bangladesh 1st Test

Overview 

South Africa will take on Bangladesh in the first match of the two-match Test series in Potchefstroom tomorrow. Incidentally, the only Test played at this venue was way back in 2002 when the Tigers played the Proteas for the first time in overseas conditions. 

South Africa will be captained by Faf du Plessis and the visitors will be led by Mushfiqur Rahim. For Bangladesh, things will be challenging as they are going to be without their premier all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan, who has been rested for this series. 

Although Bangladesh are a much-improved side in the five-day format of the game, we feel South Africa will be the overwhelming favourites to wrap up this match and series. 

As far as the conditions go, the weather forecast appears pretty clear for the entire game and the pitch is likely to help the batsmen. That said, the initial red-ball movement for the seamers cannot be ruled out.
