BAN vs SA Dream11 Prediction: Bangladesh will be looking to end a three-match losing streak in Test cricket when they take on South Africa in the second Test at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium, starting Tuesday, October 29, 2024. Bangladesh trails the series 0-1 after losing the first Test by five wickets.
Bangladesh raised hopes after defeating Pakistan 2-0 in their own backyard during the two-match Test series. However, since then, the performance of the Bangladesh cricket team has taken a nosedive. They were clean swept by India in both the Test and T20I series and lost the opening Test of this series as well.
South Africa, on the other hand, is on a three-match unbeaten run in Test cricket, with two of those ending in wins. The Proteas also have a lot riding on these Test matches, as they can still qualify for the final of the ICC Test Championship.

TOP Picks For BAN vs SA Dream 11 Match
Captain Options:
- Kagiso Rabada: Kagiso Rabada: Kagiso Rabada is part of a rare breed of bowlers, like Jasprit Bumrah, who can make life difficult for batsmen on any pitch. The 29-year-old was unplayable in the first Test match, tearing through Bangladesh’s batting lineup and taking a combined nine wickets across both innings.
- Mahidy Hasan Miraz: Bangladesh’s trump card in all formats, Mehidy is currently the most consistent player in Bangladeshi cricket. Whether with the bat or ball, he leaves his mark on the match. In the first Test, he scored 110 runs and picked up two wickets.
- Mushfiqur Rahim: Bangladesh’s most experienced and important batsman in Test cricket, Mushfiqur Rahim is someone who is difficult to dismiss in this format.
- Aiden Markram: South Africa’s captain is certainly a player who can win any match with his batting alone, even though he has been struggling for runs recently. Markram should definitely be included in your BAN vs SA Dream11 teams.
Vice-Captain Options:
- Wiaan Mulder: He scored a half-century in the first innings of the first Test and took four wickets. With his all-round skills, Wiaan is a solid choice as either captain or vice-captain.
- Taijul Islam: Taijul claimed a combined eight wickets in the first match and also scored 23 runs. He is in good form and can make a significant impact in the second Test between Bangladesh and South Africa.
- Kyle Verreynne: South Africa’s wicketkeeper helped his team out of a tough situation with a magnificent century in the first Test. The 27-year-old should be your top choice for the wicketkeeping position in Dream11 fantasy cricket teams.
- Keshav Maharaj: The 34-year-old needs no introduction; he is South Africa’s best spin option and consistently performs well. In the last match, Keshav picked up three wickets in both innings.
