The 17th match of the Road Safety World Series will bring two heavyweights up against each other as second placed West Indies Legends take on Australia Legends on September 25 (Sunday) at Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium, Dehradun. Both the teams are coming on the back of comprehensive wins in their last games and will look to continue to better their standings in the tournament.
Pitch Report:
The surface at Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium is known for being batting friendly and we expect so good batting display from players. Although, fast bowlers will have to apply well in order to make a mark in the match.
Team Analysis:
Brian Lara-led side will be favourites when they will be up against Australia Legends due to their dominating performance in the tournament so far. Opener Dwayne Smith's all-round performance guided the side to comprehensive wins in the competition and he will be crucial once again. Krishmar Santokie is another prominent performer from the side as he has picked five wickets in two games he played. He is currently the third highest wicket-taker in the tournament. Meanwhile, Australia Legends will heavily depend on skipper Shane Watson, Callum Ferguson and wicket-keeper batter Brad Haddin for adding crucial runs. Brett Lee and Dirk Nannes will be two crucial bowlers for the side.
