RSAW vs BANW Team Previews
South Africa Women
South Africa Women were effectively surprised by Bangladesh Women in the first match of the series. The home side must now first avoid series defeat before looking to win the series later this week. Bangladesh, meanwhile, could seal an unassailable series lead.
Eliz-mari Marx, Delmi Tucker and Nonkululeko Mlaba emerged as South Africa's top wicket-takers in the first match, though they only took one wicket each. Marx, who is a young talent, was arguably the standout during her spell of one for 43 in six overs. She should be retained in the XI and could put in another promising performance here.
Marx also top-scored with 35, followed by Sune Luus' 31. Their knocks were particularly important after the early departures of captain Laura Wolvaardt and fellow opener Tazmin Brits for five and four, respectively. South Africa can demand a lot better from their openers this time.
The Proteas are going to have to find a way to successfully navigate their way around a disciplined opposition bowling attack, who succeeded in foreign conditions, this week. How aggressively they challenge the visiting spinners, and how calculated they will be against the seamers, remains in the balance.
South Africa Women Playing 11
Tazmin Brits, Laura Wolvaardt, Anneke Bosch, Sune Luus, Marizanne Kapp, Nadine de Klerk, Eliz Mari Marx, Sinalo Jafta, Nonkululeko Mlaba, Ayabonga Khaka, Masabata Klaas.
Bangladesh Women
Bangladesh Women were largely outstanding in the series opener at Buffalo Park in East London, where they beat the favourites comfortably. They now have a big chance to complete a rare ODI series win against opposition they have mostly failed against in the past.
Murshida Khatun was in marvellous form in East London, striking her way to 91 not out from 100 deliveries. Captain Nigar Sultana also put in a key contribution. Both middle-order batters will be the ones to watch again this time, as well as Shamima Sultana and Fargana Hoque at the top of the order.
Bowling-wise, Nahida Akter will likely face a bigger challenge in Potchefstroom than she did in East London. Conditions at the venue for the second match will almost certainly be more kind to the batters than the bowlers. Regardless. Akter's three wickets in the first match merit her being the one to watch this time as well.
Bangladesh have really impressed this tour, drawing the T20I series and now forging an early lead in the ODI affair. They are several positions inferior in the International Cricket Council's rankings for ODI women's teams, but looking a lot stronger than the Proteas Women at the moment.
Bangladesh Women Playing 11
Nigar Sultana, Nahida Akter, Fargana Hoque, Murshida Khatun, Ritu Moni, Shorna Akter, Rabeya Khan, Fahima Khatun, Marufa Akter, Shamima Sultana, Sultana Khatun.
RSAW vs BANW Toss Prediction
All of the last four women's ODIs at Senwes Park in Potchefstroom, which is the venue for this match, have been won by the team that batted second.
Given that recent record and the prevailing conditions, the team to win the toss this time will likely opt to bowl first and chase later.

Pitch and Conditions
The last three first-innings totals in WODI cricket at this venue have been 63, 235 and 147. None of those totals were enough to win the match.
A first-innings total of 180-plus here should be competitive at this relatively high-scoring ground. It's well worth playing two specialists here to slow things down.
Rain is forecast for the region on matchday. This could mean a shortened fixture, which should suit the team batting second and chasing an adjusted target.
RSAW vs BANW Betting Tips
This is a big ask for the visiting team, but Bangladesh Women should win this match, especially if they maintain the discipline shown on this tour already.
South Africa Women are looking off colour and struggling to gel. Betting on Bangladesh Women, who are priced as 3.65 underdogs, to win this match could bring good value. The Proteas Women are priced as 1.29 favourites.
Bonus Cricket Bets
Khatun hit a superb near century in East London. She will bat up the order again and have a big chance during the powerplay to score quickly, too.
Mlaba is one of the best left-arm spinners in South African women's cricket. Potchefstroom conditions could help her, particularly some extra bounce, if not additional turn.
Akter's three wickets in the first match of the series put her in good form ahead of the second match. She has momentum and an understanding of conditions to succeed again.
