South Africa won the toss and chose to bat first in Tuesday's ICC World Cup encounter in Mumbai against Bangladesh.

Bangladesh's captain, Shakib Al Hasan, is making a comeback in this match after being sidelined in the previous match against India due to a thigh muscle injury. In favor of Shakib, Bangladesh decided to overlook Towhid Hirody, who has been struggling to find good form.

While Bangladesh welcomes back their captain, South Africa will be led by stand-in captain Aiden Markram. Their regular captain Temba Bavuma is suffering from sickness.
