Welcome to our live updates of the first ODI between Bangladesh and South Africa at Kimberley.
South Africa have the opportunity to become the top-ranked ODI team if they managed to sweep the series against the Tigers.
The Proteas will be bolstered by the return of AB de Villiers and JP Duminy into the side. Tigers have their backs on the wall having lost the two-Test series. Further bad news followed as ace quick Mustafizur Rahman will not feature in the first ODI. Mustafizur twisted his ankle during warm-up on Saturday.
However the biggest set back is that Tamim Iqbal is set to miss the first ODI as well. Tamim is yet to fully recover from the thigh muscle tear that he suistained in the three-day warm-up match in Benoni on September 21.
Tamim was seen walking around in a jacket before the toss while the rest of the team were warming up playing football.
