TEAMS PREVIEW

England Legends Preview

While this tournament was quite a forgetful one, they will want to go out on a positive note. They would like to give it their all in the last game against arch-rivals Australia and round up the series on a good note. The bowling department took a solid hammering in the previous game, conceding 170 runs in a maximum of 15 overs.

The bowling department looked down and out as the Indian batsmen went berserk. But Stephen Perry was an absolute star, as he picked up 3 wickets for 19 runs in 3 overs. Chris Schofield chipped in with one wicket, but other than that, all the other bowlers leaked runs. The batting department had yet another off day. The England Legends would have hoped for the batting department to have a great time, but that never happened.

The batting has thoroughly let down the squad, and they will like to rectify it in their last game. Phil Mustard scored 29 off 19 balls and looked good before getting out. In need to muster up quick runs, none of the English Batsmen quite kept going. The England legends will want to perform better and showcase a much better performance as they are now playing for pride. They themselves would not want to go out of the tournament without a win.

Australia Legends Preview

There was a time in international cricket when all teams used to compete against each other just to face Australia in the finals. In the past few games, Australia has definitely turned back the clock as they seem to dominate right from the get-go. On the accounts of the past few games, and whilst securing a semi-final spot in the process, this Australian team has definitely put their hands up as contenders to go all the way.

While it felt that Australia might have to chase a target in excess of 200, the bowling department did a fantastic job of restricting the West Indies to under 180. Bryce McGain was the pick of the bowlers as he not only picked up 3 crucial wickets. He was very economical, giving away just 23 runs in his quota of 4 overs. Dirk Nannes also chipped in with 2 wickets at the death to round off a good bowling display.

The batting department made a complete joke out of the total, which looked quite challenging given the conditions. Chasing a total of 179, Australia Legends finished the innings off in 15.1 overs. The opening pair put on 130 runs before Alex Doolan departed after scoring 56 off 30 balls, which consisted of 6 mammoth sixes and 2 boundaries.

Captain Shane Watson looked like he was auditioning for the T20 world cup, scoring 88 of 50 balls, including 9 huge sixes and 5 boundaries. The Aussies look in fine fine touch and have peaked at the business end of the tournament. It will be interesting to see how far they can carry this momentum

Key Players: Shane Watson, Alex Doolan, Dirk Nannes, Bryce McGain
