Bangladesh A v South Africans - 3 day match - at Sylhet - 1998/9 - Match Preview

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?
