India Legends-England Legends (Source: Twitter)
The 14th match of the Road Safety World Series 2022 will have India Legends take on England Legends on Thursday. After winning the first match, India’s next two matches resulted in washouts. Thus in three matches, they have managed to secure only 1 win so far.
India Legends played their first match against South Africa Legends and won the game by 61 runs. Riding on a sensational knock from Stuart Binny, they notched a massive score of 217 runs on the board at the end of the first innings.
Suresh Raina also made a vital contribution of 33 runs in 21 balls, including 4 fours and 1 six, while Yusuf Pathan showed his class with an unbeaten 15-ball 35-run cameo in the latter part of the innings. India later restricted South Africa Legends to 156 in the second innings.
Rahul Sharma was the pick of the bowlers as he claimed 3 for 17 in 4 overs. Besides, Munaf Patel (2 for 24) and Pragyan Ojha (2 for 32) also made impressive returns. Sadly, they couldn’t get a result in the next two games because of rain and thus, would be desperate to earn a win on Thursday.
Facing them are England, who are languishing at second from the bottom of the points table. They are yet to win a game in the tournament and have suffered two losses in three matches. Valuable contributions from Ian Bell (46 off 43) and R Clarke (50 off 25) helped them reach 156 in their last game against West Indies. However, Brian Lara and Co. easily chased down the target in 17. 2 overs. It will be interesting to see how England comes back in the next game.
