Bangladesh chose to bat vs South Africa
Bangladesh have won the toss and chosen to bat first in the final group-stage match of the 2023 Women’s T20 World Cup, a must-win for South Africa if they are to make it into the semi-finals.
Allrounder Marizanne Kapp told the host broadcaster: “We probably didn’t rock up on the first night of the World Cup, but lucky it [qualifying] is still within our hands and we know what we have to do. It is not going to be easy but we have to go out fighting tonight. I am a bit disappointed with my performances throughout this World Cup, and hope tonight I can set that straight.”
