Match Preview

Bangladesh Legends will up against the West Indies Legends in the 12^th match of the Road Safety World Series 2020-21 on Friday. Bangladesh Legends’ campaign in this tournament has been nothing short of a miserable journey, as they lost 3 consecutive matches on the trot. They have look fragile on the field and will need to complete makeover to come back strongly in this competition. Mohammad Nazimuddin looks like the only batsman they can rely on at the top-order.

Meanwhile, West Indies Legends’ story isn’t any different. They too have lost all of their 3 matches in this competition. Two of those defeats were prior to the COVID-19 pandemic last year and they haven’t able to get back to the winning ways this year as well. Skipper Brian Lara and Dwayne Smith have performed well for them, but they will need to perform better as a collective unit.
