The Otago Volts will play the Deccan Chargers, the Indian Premier League champions, in preparation for their assault on the Champions League beginning in India next month.
The match will be played under lights at the Uppal Stadium in Hyderabad on October 6, just four days before the Volts' opening match against South African side the Cape Cobras on October 10.
Otago will also play English county side Somerset in a warm-up match.
"To have such high quality opposition in our warm up matches will certainly give us a good indication of where we sit and areas for improvement leading into the tournament," Otago coach Mike Hesson said.
"It will be a special occasion to not only test ourselves against the winners of the IPL but for our young players to rub shoulders with a number of the greats of the game."
Otago will also play warm-up matches in Australia against the Queensland Academy and South Australia before leaving for India on October 2
