Bangladesh are set to face South Africa in Match 16 of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2024 on Saturday, October 12 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
Both teams are aiming to secure a victory in this match to strengthen their positions in the tournament and go one step closer to securing qualification to the knockout stages.

Bangladesh, currently fourth in the standings, have registered one win and two losses in their three group-stage matches. With only two points and a negative net run rate (-0.835), this upcoming game will be their last chance to secure a win and keep their slim hopes of qualification alive.
South Africa, on the other hand, are in second place with two victories from three games, accumulating four points. A win against Bangladesh will take the Proteas closer to qualification, but the team will also focus on their NRR, which might come into play as the competition in Group B heats up.
A dry pitch at the Dubai stadium, which has historically favoured batters, will be an advantage to South Africa, as Laura Wolvaardt and Co. have been strong with their batting performances at the tournament.
However, players like Ritu Moni and Nahida Akter, who have been in great form at the Women's T20 World Cup, will look to prove their mettle in Saturday's must-win match for the Bengal Tigers.
