Cricket Free Tips | Road Safety World Series 2020-21, Match 12: Bangladesh Legends vs West Indies Legends

Today the Bangladesh Legends will face the West Indies Legends in the Road Safety World Series match 12 at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium in Raipur.

Bangladesh Legends have lost all three games so far and are currently ranked last in the Road Safety World Series. They haven’t found their pace with the bat or the ball. The Bangladesh Legends will be desperate to succeed for the first time in this match.

West Indies Legends played two games and lost both of them last year before the series was postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic. They’ve only played once since the Road Safety World Series resumed earlier this month, losing the match as well. The West Indies Legends will also be hoping to get off to a good start today.

Weather 

Raipur will be partly cloudy in the evening, with a maximum temperature of 32 degrees Celsius to a minimum temperature of 26 degrees Celsius expected. The humidity level would be 34%. For this match, there is no risk of precipitation.

Pitch 

The pitch at this venue is ideal for batting. The ball clings to the bat ideally, allowing batsmen to play up-and-down shots. Although the new ball provided some movement to the pacers early on, spinners have dominated the Road Safety World Series so far.

It’s a match between two of the worst teams in the Road Safety World Series, but West Indies are getting better with each passing game. Brian Lara and Dwayne Smith’s runs in the previous match improved their confidence even further. Bangladesh, on the other hand, is short on batting talent. The West Indies will be the favourites to win the match.
