What will decide it?
The surface comes first; the other two are the factors with the most pull on this fixture.
Surface read
Edge: Even
Nothing extreme in the surface: bowlers who hit a length will be rewarded, and so will batters who are patient early. Neither attack should be specially advantaged.
Run-scoring edge
Edge: South Africa
There is a 24-run cushion in South Africa's favour on our projection, the single biggest reason the model leans their way.
Series pressure
Edge: South Africa
A win here gives South Africa control with 1 match left, and losing would hand Bangladesh momentum.
How many will South Africa and Bangladesh score?
Projected runs in each phase of the first innings, on a balanced, dry surface at Willowmoore Park.

The developments we would react to before the first ball.
If Quinton de Kock is left out
We would trim South Africa by around five points, turning this into a strong lean.
If the pitch looks drier or greener than expected at the toss
More help for the bowlers would narrow the gap between the two batting line-ups.
If rain shortens the match
Fewer overs mean more randomness, which helps the underdog.
