South Africa had their African derby with Zimbabwe curtailed and then abandoned due to the weather, with the sides sharing the points. It means that we have not really seen much of the Proteas, save for some devasting batting from Quinton de Kock who managed to get 47 runs off just 18 balls in a desperate bid to score quickly.
Bangladesh got their Super 12 campaign off to a decent start, beating the Netherlands by 9 runs. Afif Hossain scored 38 from 27 balls, while Musaddek Hossain finished unbeaten on 20 from 12 deliveries. It should give them some confidence going into this game against much more challenging opposition.
South Africa have enjoyed some of their biggest T20 victories over Bangladesh – an 83-run win in 2017 and a 52-run victory in 2015. The Tigers also lost by 6 wickets when the sides met in the World Cup last year and will be hoping to avoid a similar fate this time around.
Who will come out on top and put themselves in a strong position to qualify for the next stage of the tournament? Find out by watching the South Africa vs Bangladesh live stream.

The South Africa vs Bangladesh live stream will be shown on many different channels across the world, but what if you’re not in your home country and want to watch it on your usual service?

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we’ve said, ExpressVPN (opens in new tab) is our favorite.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance if you’re in the U.S. and want to view a U.K. service, you’d select U.K. from the list.

How to watch the South Africa vs Bangladesh live stream in the UK
The South Africa vs Bangladesh live stream will be shown live in the U.K. on Sky Sports (opens in new tab) and via the Sky Go app.
If you already have a Sky subscription that doesn’t include Sports, you’ll need to pay £22/month to add those channels. If you don’t have Sky at all, it’ll cost you at least £41/month, depending on which other channels you choose.
Whichever package you go for (opens in new tab), you’ll also gain access to coverage in 4K and HDR, so long as you also have an HDR-ready Sky Q box and HLG-compatible TV.
Sky Glass (opens in new tab) is another option. This gives you Sky TV within a 4K TV that has a built-in Dolby Atmos soundbar, and without the need for a dish. Prices start at £13/month for the TV, plus a sky sub on top of that.
If you don’t want to shell out for a full Sky subscription, you could also consider its Now Sports (opens in new tab) streaming service. This gives you 24-hour access for £11.99 or month-long access for £33.99.
