Road Safety World Series T20 2022 Points Table: Updated standings after India Legends vs Bangladesh Legends Match 18
India Legends squared off against Bangladesh Legends in the 18th match of the Road Safety World Series T20 2022 on Sunday, September 25. This was the last fixture of the tournament to be played at Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Dehradun.
India Legends skipper Sachin Tendulkar won the toss and opted to bowl first. The bowlers of the Tendulkar-led team performed efficiently and kept picking wickets at regular intervals. They restricted Bangladesh Legends to 121/9 at the end of their 20 overs.
Pragyan Ojha was the pick of the bowlers for India Legends and took three wickets. In reply, the India Legends started decently, scoring 29 by the end of four overs for the loss of just one wicket. However, rain arrived thereafter and no further play was possible. Consequently, both sides shared one point each.
With this result, India Legends have moved up the table. They have 14 points to their name and sit comfortably at the top of the standings. They have sealed a berth in the semi-finals and will look to be at their best in the knockout stages of the Road Safety World Series 2022.
M18: The match has been abandoned due to rain. Both teams get 2 points each. @India__Legends qualify for the semifinals. The groundstaff tried their best but the showers returned and got the better of the contest in which the India Legends dominated in the 1st half.
