Bangladesh A v South Africans - 3 day match - at Sylhet - 1998/9 - Match Preview Pitch: 67 - A damp wicket that is likely to cut up quickly and could offer the bowlers, especially the spinners, a lot of help late in the match. While the wicket stays sound it should play reasonably well, the batsmen are never likely to dominate for long and this could be a low scoring match. Day 1 Starting Pitch: 5 - Normal Wicket Day 1 Weather: 1 - Hot and Humid - (Swing favoured) Bangladesh A: Shahriar Hossain Mehrab Hossain Al Sahariar Akram Khan Sanwar Hossain OB Khaled Mahmud (c) RM Khaled Mashud (wk) Mushfiqur Rahman RFM Enamul Haque snr SLA Fahim Muntasir OB Hasibul Hossain RFM South Africans: G.Kirsten H.H.Gibbs J.H.Kallis RFM D.J.Cullinan B.M.McMillan RFM L.Klusener RFM M.V.Boucher (wk) P.L.Symcox OB S.M.Pollock RFM A.A.Donald RF M.Ntini RF Toss: South Africans, who elected to Bat first Pat Symcox is the lone South African spinner on a pitch expected to turn, is this a mistake by the coach?
