Even if delayed, the monsoon season spans 2-3 months. Expect lots of washouts.

PS: Statistically, normal monsoon arrival to the center of the country (i.e Dhaka region) is 5-9 June. So even if the monsoon is delayed by weeks, the brunt of the tour will be under peak monsoon.

this time we will atleast win something vs SA. last time we came really close but Mohammad Rafique played an important role during that series.

I remember the last time South Africa visited Bangladesh, Shahadat Hossain got 6-27 to me that's probably the best seam bowling i have ever seen from a Bangladeshi in a test match. He took good advantage of the conditions and it was a special performance. at that time He dismissed top quality world class batsmen in an uneven pitch. Unfortunately, Shahadat thinks too much of himself, and since then, Shahadat has a very poor international record which is why he is no longer considered.
