The hosts will be led by Temba Bavuma. They recently toured New Zealand for a Test series, while their last limited-overs series was against India at home which they won by a 3-0 margin. They will be looking to continue their excellent white-ball form in the upcoming ODI series against the Tigers.

The likes of Quinton de Kock, Aiden Markram, Rassie van der Dussen, and Kagiso Rabada will continue to play a huge role in the side. Wayne Parnell is back in the squad and will be looking to cement his place going forward. They will be hoping to start the series with a win.

Meanwhile, Tamim Iqbal will be leading Bangladesh in the ODI series. They last faced Afghanistan in a limited-overs series at home. They won the ODI series by a 2-1 margin but the T20I series was leveled at 1-1 after the Afghan side won the final game of the series.

The Asian side have put in a solid squad for the series against the Proteas. The likes of Mushfiqur Rahim, Shakib Al Hasan and Mahmudullah will play a vital role in the side.
