Road Safety World Series 2021: England Legends vs Bangladesh Legends | Preview, full squads, match prediction and live-streaming details

England Legends will look to open their account in the Road Safety World Series 2021 when they take on Bangladesh Legends in Raipur on Sunday.

Although both teams were added to the Road Safety World Series this year, Bangladesh Legends have already got their first taste of the tournament. England Legends, meanwhile, are a late inclusion in the 2021 Road Safety World Series after Australia Legends pulled out of the tournament due to the COVID-19 situation.

In their tournament opener in this season's Road Safety World Series, Mohammad Rafique’s men were hammered by India Legends by ten wickets. They were bundled out for a paltry 109 before India Legends ran riot in Raipur. Apart from Nazimuddin’s quickfire 49 at the top, none of the Bangladesh Legends batsmen went past 15 as Vinay Kumar, Pragyan Ojha and Yuvraj Singh picked up two wickets apiece.

Virender Sehwag and Sachin Tendulkar then pulled back the years, helping India Legends streak past their target with almost ten overs to spare.

After a poor start to their 2021 Road Safety World Series campaign, Bangladesh Legends will look to fare better against the England Legends.

Led by Kevin Pietersen, England Legends boast experienced campaigners like Monty Panesar, Jonathan Trott and James Tredwell in their ranks and could be a handful to any team in the Road Safety World Series.
