Cricket Free Tips | Road Safety World Series 2020-21, Match 6: Sri Lanka Legends vs West Indies Legends

On Saturday, the Sri Lanka Legends will play the West Indies Legends in the sixth match of the Road Safety World Series 2020-21. Both teams have previously competed in this tournament before the COVID-19 pandemic, but the rosters have drastically changed. Sri Lanka Legends won their first match by 7 runs against the Australian Legends, but the Indian Legends outplayed them by 5 wickets in their second match. They are currently in third place in the standings with four points. It will be a new beginning for them as they return to action following a one-year break.

On the other hand, West Indies Legends have lost two of their three matches against India Legends and South Africa Legends. Dwayne Smith’s inclusion would be extremely beneficial to them, as he is a strong striker who can also use his weapons when necessary. When comparing the two teams, Sri Lanka Legends has a younger squad and will start as a favourite.

Weather 

The sky will be clear in the evening, with temperatures ranging from 22 to 28 degrees Celsius and a humidity of 23%. There is no risk of precipitation in this match.

Pitch 

It’s a neutral wicket that provides equal support to batters and bowlers. In the second half of the match, batting will become much simpler, and whoever wins the toss should aim to bowl first. On this wicket, anything over 160 is a defendable result.
