On Sunday the final battle in ODI played in East London is set for South Africa and Bangladesh in 2017, and they will each eye a good finish, as Proteas aiming for a series whitewash while the visitor seeks to taste their first victory of the tour, although the game holds a little more importance for Bangladesh, who are trailing 0-2 in the series. While Bangladesh will look to salvage a win, South Africa will want to finish with their second series sweep of the year.
Bangladeshi’s bowler struggles a lot in the series against the Proteas in test and ODI series. The hosts' dominance has been driven by their batting. The first two ODIs saw AB de Villiers, Hashim Amla, and Quinton de Kock make the most of the opportunities. While Amla and de Kock made hundreds in the first ODI in Kimberley, setting up a record opening partnership in the process, the second match belonged to de Villiers, who brought up his personal best of 176 off only 104 deliveries.
Bangladesh's batting hasn't been as miserable but it hasn't won those matches either just because of lack of wicket. Mushfiqur Rahim has scored the ton and has been dismissed once, while Imrul Kayes has struck his first fifty this year in Paarl. The rest, however, have fallen after getting starts.
