World Cup 2019, Match 5, South Africa vs Bangladesh: Why South Africa will win this match

South Africa possesses two X-factors - Kagiso Rabada and Imran Tahir

Kagiso Rabada, the leader of the pack

Bowlers who can get the ball to move and zip in and around the 140-150 km/h range and leg-spinners who can derail partnerships seem to be need of the hour for success at this World Cup.

Most teams have got their stocks filled with both such bowlers, none more than the Proteas. They have probably the best fast bowler in the world in Kagiso Rabada and also an energetic 40-year old leg-spinner in Imran Tahir to get the crucial breakthroughs.

Bangladesh certainly will be rattled and worried by the Kagiso Rabada threat. The speedster gets it to swing and move at extremely high speeds and he can also trouble oppositions with some well directed bouncers.

Rabada leads a bowling attack that may be strengthened by the inclusion of Chris Morris for today's game. With Rabada and Lungi Ngidi in some fine form aided by the pace of Andile Phehlukwayo, the Bangladesh batsmen will need to be vary of the pace threat.
