The two-match Test series between Bangladesh and South Africa is set to commence on October 21, 2024. This series will be crucial for both teams as they aim to improve their standings in the ICC World Test Championship (WTC).

Both teams will enter the field after contrasting recent performances. South Africa arrives following a successful 1-0 series win against the West Indies, whereas Bangladesh aims to bounce back after a disappointing tour of India. Historically, South Africa have dominated the head-to-head record in Tests against Bangladesh, winning 12 out of the 14 matches played between them.

Najmul Hossain Shanto will continue to lead the Bangladesh side, while Aiden Makram will captain the Proteas men in Temba Bavuma’s absence.
