Forgotten heroes
Ullaskar suffered immensely after being caught by the British and was sent to the Cellular jail in the intractable Andamans.
South Africa have won the toss and decided to bowl first against Bangladesh at the Kennington Oval in London on Sunday.
Bangladesh were 85-2 after 14 overs with Andile Phehlukwayo sending Tamim Iqbal (16), and Chris Morris sending Soumya Sarkar (42) back to the hut.
The Proteas — who lost their first match to hosts England by 104 runs — will be looking for a comeback here. Bangladesh, on the other hand, will be hoping to put up a good fight against South Africa and start their World Cup campaign with a win.

However, it is to note that three times out of four, teams batting second in the ongoing World Cup have won. Hence, it will be interesting to see if South Africa can maintain the trend or Bangladesh pull off a blinder.
Here are the playing XIs of both the teams:
Bangladesh (Playing XI): Tamim Iqbal, Soumya Sarkar, Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim(w), Mohammad Mithun, Mahmudullah, Mosaddek Hossain, Mohammad Saifuddin, Mehidy Hasan, Mashrafe Mortaza(c), Mustafizur Rahman
South Africa (Playing XI): Quinton de Kock(w), Aiden Markram, Faf du Plessis(c), Rassie van der Dussen, Jean-Paul Duminy, David Miller, Andile Phehlukwayo, Chris Morris, Kagiso Rabada, Lungi Ngidi, Imran Tahir
