South Africa are without regular opener Lizelle Lee for this fixture
Bangladesh chose to bowl v South Africa
South Africa opted for four quicks in a line-up that is headlined by Shabnim Ismail and Marizanne Kapp, with Masabata Klaas and Ayabonga Khaka making up the rest of the attack. Kapp was also penciled in to bat at No.6, ahead of Chloe Tryon and Trisha Chetty. South Africa are ranked second in ODIs and are one of the favourites to win the tournament.
Bangladesh, by contrast, are ranked sixth and qualified for the tournament after the qualifiers were cancelled in Zimbabwe last year. They have three players in Rumana Ahmed, Fargana Hoque and Jahanara Alam in the XI, who have played over 40 ODIs. Former captain Salma Khatun is close on their heals, making her 38th appearance. They also have Fariha Trisna, the 19-year-old left-arm seamer who made her international debut in the qualifiers last year, in their side for the opener.
Bangladesh: 1 Shamima Sultana (wk), 2 Sharmin Akhter, 3 Farghana Hoque, 4 Nigar Sultana (capt), 5 Rumana Ahmed, 6 Murshida Khatun, 7 Ritu Moni, 8 Salma Khatun, 9 Nahida Akter, 10 Fariha Trisna, 11 Jahanara Alam
