ODI World Cup: Bangladesh won the toss and elected to bat first against South Africa in Match 14 of the ICC Women's ODI World Cup at ACA-VDCA Stadium here on Monday.

Bangladesh made two changes to their playing XI, with Fargana Hoque and Ritu Moni coming in. South Africa also made two changes, bringing in Masabata Klaas and Annerie Dercksen, as Sune Luus sits out.

Bangladesh captain Nigar Sultana Joty said they have seen the last two matches played in this venue and feel this is the kind of wicket where they can get runs batting first. She said they wanted to give their bowlers the best bowling conditions. Though their bowlers have done reasonably well, Bangladesh's batting has not clicked.
