STAT: South Africa have lost 10 of their last 14 Tests in the subcontinent and drawn the other four and their last win on Asian soil came against Sri Lanka in the July 2014 Galle Test. They are on a 9 match losing streak in Asia since November 2015.
Stat: Bangladesh are yet to beat South Africa in Tests (14 matches). Bangladesh has managed to draw 2 matches when both these teams last met in Bangladesh in 2015.
Shukri Conrad | South Africa head coach: It’s been great, we had a camp here and then a rest day, so our preperation has been as it good as it can be. Obviously you will expect it to be spin-dominated. Once you got here, the conditions are everything we expected it to be. It’s a great challenge for our batters and bowlers. Look the inexperience of the batters yes but we see it as a great challenge. The focus will be on scoring runs and find the right balance.
