Bangladesh vs South Africa Live Streaming: Bangladesh will host South Africa in a two-match Test series, which will be part of the World Test Championship cycle, starting with the first Test at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur, Dhaka from Monday (October 21).

Bangladesh led by Najmul Hossain Shanto dropped to seventh position of the WTC standings during the defeat to India in the away series last month. The home side will be keen to bounce back and get the series off to a winning start.

Aiden Markram’s South Africa, on the other hand, are sixth in the WTC table after their recent 1-0 series win over West Indies in the Caribbean. Both sides are still mathematically alive in the WTC Final race, but face a big task as the front-runners seem to stretch their lead.

This will be South Africa’s first visit to Bangladesh since 2015 when the honours were shared after the two-match series ended in draws. The Proteas, however, hold an unbeaten record on their three previous visits to Bangladesh, where they have won 4 of 6 Tests.

The match was originally slated to be Shakib Al Hasan's farewell Test, but threat of protests led the all-rounder to miss the game in his hometown as Bangladesh replaced him with Hasan Murad.

The Bangladesh squad otherwise holds a familiar look, while South Africa will be without their regular skipper Temba Bavuma, who misses the series due to an injury.

With both teams mathematically still alive in the WTC final race, the series garners interest among cricket fans across the world, who will be eager to for more red ball action. So, here is a look at the Bangladesh vs South Africa Live Streaming and Telecast Info:
