England Legends v Bangladesh Legends – Team News

• Kevin Pietersen – The former batting star will skipper the England side. His ability to play spin in these conditions will be of great benefit and his competitive side will see him hungry for runs.
• Johnathan Trott – The talented top-order batsman is a current batting coach with the England senior side and should be able to add some vital runs.
• Monty Panesar – The left-arm spinner should be able to exploit conditions really well in this clash. He has 167 Test wickets to his name and will be interesting to see him in the T20 format.
• Mohammad Rafique – The all-rounder and Bangladesh captain will have a big role to play in this game. He will have to improve on his showing against India though.
• Mohammed Nazimuddin – The opener hit 49 against India and will look to get his team off to another good start in this one.

This looks like being a win for England but they don’t appeal at their very short price in the outright winner market.

Looking at other markets is a great way of seeking extra value.

Back Pietersen for Top Batsman

Kevin Pietersen should be able to handle these conditions and will bring a wealth of talent with him despite being retired from the international stage since 2014.

He looks a good bet in the top England batsman market and can lead from the front once more.

His price of 2.5 with 22Bet looks the pick. He is also available at 3.0 with the same betting site to bag a half-century.

More Runs for Nazimuddin

Mohammed Nazimuddin fell just one run shy of a half-century against India.

He looked in good form with the 49 coming in just 33 balls against a strong bowling attack.

Back him to be Bangladesh’s top batsmen once again. He is priced at 3.4 with 1xBet for that honour.

England to Have Highest Opening Partnership

With Nick Compton, KP, Trott all able to open the batting, backing England to have the highest opening partnership looks a solid selection.

Mohammed Nazimuddin did well for Bangladesh last time but he struggled for partners. His opening partner Javen Omar fell early last time.

England are priced at 1.532 with 22Bet to have the best opening partnership here.
