Bangladesh Cricket team will take on South African Airways Challenge XI today in a two-dayer warm-up match, which begins at 2.30 PM (Bangladesh Standard Time) at KImberly in South Africa.

Earlier, the plucky Tigers made an unlucky start as they lost to South Africa by 12 runs in their Twenty20 clash on November 5.

Later, Bangladesh tasted a 61-run defeat by South Africa in their first ODI on November 7.

Then, the Tigers conceded a massive 128-run defeat by the Proyeas in the second ODI on November 9.

The Tigers saved from a whitewash by their counterpart as the third and last ODI between Bangladesh and South Africa was washed out by rain.

Ahead the first Test match, which is scheduled to be held on November 19 to November 23, the lone practice two-dayer will be important for the tourists as the Tigers have a preparation for the upcoming Test match.
