Taiwan's baseball team is scheduled to head for Tokyo this Saturday for the World Baseball Classic games.
Chinese Professional Baseball League chair Cai Qi-chang says matchups against South Korea and Australia will be key to advancing in the tournament.
The other two teams in Group C of the WBC games are from Japan and the Czech Republic.
Cai says Team Taiwan will first play two exhibition games against Japanese professional teams at the Taipei Dome this week to raise the level and intensity of competition.
It will then fly to Japan on the 28th, with a brief send-off ceremony at the airport that afternoon.
According to Elta TV, Taiwan first faces Australia at 11 AM on March 5th, followed by a game against Japan at 6 PM the next day.
Taiwan plays the Czech Republic at 11 a.m. on March 7th, and wraps up group play against South Korea on the 8th.
