Road Safety World Series 2021: India Legends vs South Africa Legends | Preview, probable XIs, match prediction and live streaming details
In a classic face-off, India Legends will take on South Africa Legends in the Road Safety World Series on Saturday. Both teams come into the game with a point to prove in the competition.
India Legends have been one of the standout teams in the Road Safety World Series this season. They sit in second place, with 12 points from four games and a league-high Net Run Rate (NRR) of 1.412.
If they felt they would steamroll their way to the title, India Legends were handed a reality check in their last outing, as England Legends beat them in a thriller.
The India Legends bowling attack was taken to the cleaners by Kevin Pietersen and co., who scored 188/7 in their 20 overs. Tasked with pulling off a record chase in the Road Safety World Series, India Legends fell short by six runs.
The loss, their first of the tournament, shouldn’t bog India Legends down too much since their lower order fired in the game. With most of the players contributing during the tournament, India Legends are expected to bounce back with a win against South Africa Legends.
However, that would be easier said than done, considering the performance South Africa Legends pulled out in their last game. They became the first team to stop the England Legends juggernaut in a clinical performance on Thursday.
Jonty Rhodes’ men bowled England Legends out for 121, with Thandi Tshabalala picking up three on the night. The South Africa legends then cantered to their target with seven overs to spare, with Morne van Wyk top-scoring with 46.
A win on Saturday will take South Africa Legends level on points with India Legends. That should make for a cracking game in the Road Safety World Series.
