TEAMS PREVIEW

Sri Lanka Legends Preview

The Sri Lankan squad is playing like a team on a mission. A mission to win the Road Safety Series, which they could not win in the previous edition. In both the games that they have won, they have not shown any signs of weakness nor have looked challenged. 

The batting department is in breathtaking form. While batting first, they scored 200 runs in their first game against Australia, whilst in the second game, they had to chase a target of 79 runs, which they did comfortably. Dilshan currently is the top scorer of the series (122 Runs), with opening partner Munaweera in second(119 Runs).

The Bowling department has also been sublime. They have managed to bowl out both oppositions that they have faced. The most notable one of them was bowling out the English for 78 runs. Kulasekara is the leading wicket-taker for the series picking up 6 wickets and teammate Jayasuriya coming in at 2nd with 4 wickets with an outstanding economy of 0.75.

Key Players: Tillakaratne Dilshan, Upul Tharanga, Sanath Jayasuriya,  Nuwan Kulasekara

Sri Lanka Legends Predicted Playing XI:

Dilshan Munaweera, Tillakaratne Dilshan(c), Upul Tharanga(w), Chaturanga de Silva, Asela Gunaratne, Nuwan Kulasekara, Chamara Silva, Ishan Jayaratne, Jeevan Mendis, Sanath Jayasuriya, Thisara Perera

South Africa Legends Preview

After the disappointing start to the series against India, South Africa Legends bounced back in style beating New Zealand Legends by 9 wickets. They dominated all aspects of the game and looked like a formidable unit, capable of competing in the Series.

The bowling department was fantastic, eventually sealing the game in the first innings itself after restricting the New Zealand batting lineup for 99 runs. Johan Botha turned back the years, picking up 4 wickets and giving away 11 runs. Thandi Tshabalala was not far behind picking up 3 wickets for 9 runs in his quota of 4 overs. The Proteas will look forward to a similar performance from the bowling unit, in the series ahead.

The Batting department hardly had to break a sweat, as most of the job was already made easy for them by the bowlers. Chasing a mere total of 100 runs, they chased it down in 13.3 overs losing just 1 wicket in the process. Andrew Puttick scored 51 off 36, which consisted of 3 sixes and 4 boundaries. This was a much-needed performance from the batting unit which will definitely lif up their spirits.  The South Africa legends will want to carry forward the momentum and register a famous victory against the dominant Sri Lankan side.

Key Players:  Morne van Wyk,  Andrew Puttick,  Thandi Tshabalala

South Africa Legends Predicted Playing XI:

Morne van Wyk(w), Andrew Puttick, Alviro Petersen, Jacques Rudolph, Jonty Rhodes(c), Henry Davids, Johan Botha, Johan van der Wath, Eddie Leie, Thandi Tshabalala, Garnett Kruger,

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

The weather will be pleasant, with a 25% chance of rain on match day. The maximum and minimum temperatures will be in the 29°C - 22°C range.

Venue Details

The Holkar stadium, formerly known as Maharani Usharaje Trust Cricket Ground, has staged quite a few ODIs. The wicket at the Holkar stadium usually favors the batsmen. With even bounce and short boundaries coming into play, batsmen tend to rule the roost.

Toss: To Bowl

As there are chances of rainfall, the smarter option would be to bowl first and chase down the total if the D/L method comes into play. However, being a batting-friendly wicket the teams might also want to take advantage of the fresh pitch.

SLL vs RSAL
Winning Prediction

The South Africa Legends are coming off a very strong display and will want to make a statement by beating this dominant Sri Lankan side. The Sri Lanka Legends will want to pull away from the pack in their bid to make the finals yet again.

We predict that Sri Lanka Legends will defeat South Africa Legends
