In match 14 of the Road Safety World Series 2022, India Legends will lock horns with England Legends at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Dehradun. The tournament is turning out to be a great one with Sri Lanka Legends currently looking like the favourites to clinch the win. Here’s the match preview for tomorrow’s clash between India Legends and England Legends:
Team News:
India Legends
India Legends have been unlucky so far in the tournament as they are unbeaten and yet remain in third place. The rain gods will have to show mercy on the team in tomorrow’s clash against England Legends. Out of the three matches that they have played, two got washed out due to rain.
India Legends look in fine touch and they might aim to carry on with their great form. The team led by Sachin Tendulkar might as well play the finals if they work hard and win most of their remaining matches.
Players to watch out for:
1) Sachin Tendulkar
Sachin Tendulkar, the Indian great and the skipper of the India Legends, played well against New Zealand Legends. Before the match got washed out, the player played a few great shots. The Indian star will look to replicate the same against England Legends.
2) Yuvraj Singh
Yuvraj Singh will be the X-factor for the team given his proven all-rounding prowess. The former star will look to do well for India and contribute with the bat and the ball as well.
3) Munaf Patel
Munaf Patel is one of the underrated bowlers and he produced an economical spell against South Africa Legends. The former player managed to bag a two-for to his name and for India Legends as well.
Predicted Playing XI:
Naman Ojha (wk), Sachin Tendulkar (c), Suresh Raina, Stuart Binny, Yuvraj Singh, Yusuf Pathan, Irfan Pathan, Manpreet Gony, Rahul Sharma, Pragyan Ojha, Abhimanyu Mithun
England Legends
England Legends are not in the best of forms and the team has already lost two matches. The match against India Legends will be crucial for the team and they will do all it takes to take the win.
Players to watch out for:
1) Ian Bell:
If England Legends plan to win, then Ian Bell will have to fire for the team. Much to the dismay of the team and the unit, the veteran star has let the team down in all three matches. Ian Bell will look to hit back in the next match against India Legends.
2) Phil Mustard
Phil Mustard, the wicketkeeper is the hope for the team alongside Ian Bell. The duo is mostly likely to open for the team and the former must make some contributions with the bat.
3) Rikki Clarke
The all-rounder is in fine form of late and scored a half-century in the match against West Indies Legends. The veteran also managed to bag a two-for to his name and will replicate the same against India Legends.
Predicted Playing XI:
Phil Mustard (wk), Ian Bell (c), Mal Loye, Darren Maddy, Dimitri Mascarenhas, Rikki Clarke, Chris Schofield, Chris Tremlett, Stephen Parry, James Tindall, Jade Dernbach
