Road Safety World Series 2021: Bangladesh Legends vs West Indies Legends | Preview, probable XIs, match prediction and live streaming details
Bangladesh Legends will take on West Indies Legends in a Road Safety World Series game in Raipur on Friday. Both sides are yet to record a win in the tournament, having each lost their first three games.
Bangladesh Legends have had a torrid time in the Road Safety World Series since being drafted into the competition earlier this year. Their batting has let them down, with the side going past the 115-run mark just once so far.
After batting first in their first two matches, chasing didn’t change their fortunes in the third game either. Sri Lanka Legends set a target of 181, but Bangladesh Legends could only manage 138/6 as they lost the match by 42 runs. The heavy losses have adversely impacted their net run rate, with the Bangladesh Legends' NRR of -3.306 being the worst among all teams in the Road Safety World Series.
They will look to stitch together an all-round performance against West Indies Legends as they aim to get off the mark on Friday.
Their opponents have had their own struggles to deal with and sit second-last in the Road Safety World Series table. West Indies Legends were also beaten by Sri Lanka Legends in their last game, losing by five wickets to Tillakaratne Dilshan’s men.
West Indies Legends scored 157/4, but saw the target chased down with ease, courtesy of Upul Tharanga’s half-century (53*). They have had time to regroup, with this being their first Road Safety World Series 2021 game in about a week.
