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
Batters will trust the bounce from ball one. Bowlers need clear plans, because anything over-pitched or short and wide disappears. Both sides will lean on the batters, so the deeper attack matters.
Series pressure
Edge: South Africa
It is the final game, so South Africa cannot afford to coast and Bangladesh have nothing to save.
Toss call
Edge: Even
Neither batting nor bowling first offers a real edge when the pitch stays this good.
How many will South Africa and Bangladesh score?
Projected runs in each phase of the first innings, on a flat, high-scoring surface at SuperSport Park.

What would change our mind?
The developments we would react to before the first ball.
If Lungi Ngidi 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.
