Sri Lanka Legends will square off against the New Zealand Legends in the 16th match of the Road Safety World Series T20 2022 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Dehradun on Saturday.

Sri Lanka Legends are having a fantastic time in the competition. They have played three games so far, winning them all. They defeated South Africa Legends in a hardfought contest in their last game.

After being asked to bat first, contributions from Jeevan Mendis (43*) and Upul Tharanga (36) helped the Lankans post 165 on the board. The bowlers stepped up and bowled beautifully to restrict the Proteas to 154 for a 11-run win. They picked up six wickets in total, with Nuwan Kulasekara finishing with two scalps.

New Zealand Legends, meanwhile, got off to a losing start against the South Africa Legends. They bounced back to win their next game against the Bangladesh Legends. Their following game against India Legends was washed out due to rain.

The Kiwis were scheduled to face West Indies Legends in their fourth match but the rain played spoilsport yet again. The game was washed out without a single ball being bowled.

New Zealand Legends have eight points to their name and are placed mid-table. They will hope for the rain to stay away so that they get a chance to grab their second win of the competition.
