England Legends v West Indies Legends – Match Preview

West Indies picked up a win over Bangladesh in their previous outing and will have been lifted by that.

England, meanwhile, started the competition well but then slipped to back-to-back losses.

Where: Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium, Raipur

When: Tuesday, 16 March 2021

Start time: 19:00 IST (13:30 GMT)

Pitch conditions: Batting second still looks the favourable option given past results at this ground. We have seen mixed showing of both big scores and teams being bowled out cheaply. Anything over 180 looks very competitive.

Weather conditions: It is set to be another dry and warm evening in Raipur. There is no rain forecast but dew could be seen later in the game.

England Legends v West Indies Legends – Team News

• Phil Mustard – England’s top order has failed recently and Mustard has to try and offer more support to Kevin Pietersen if his team are to have a chance.
• Chris Tremlett – He hasn’t been among the wickets as much as he’d like but has made some solid contributions with the bat. Bringing wickets to that will be his main motivation here.
• Monty Panesar – The England spinner was the main man for England in the last game. He took all four Sri Lankan wickets in the defeat.
• Brian Lara – The Windies legend has been in good form this series. He followed up a half-century against Sri Lanka with 36 against Bangladesh.
• Tino Best – The bowler has been causing plenty of problems with his pace this series and it would be no surprise to see him get more wickets.

England Legends v West Indies Legends – Betting Tips and Prediction

This looks like being a close match against two evenly-match sides.

However, given England’s recent form and failures with the bat, West Indies look a little overpriced.

Having Brian Lara firing with the bat and support from a solid top-order means England could struggle.

Tino Best and Sulieman Benn look dangerous with the ball in hand.

Siding with the Windies at 2.1 with bet365 looks a good option.

Back Lara for Top Batsman

Brian Lara has done well this series and comes into this on the back of two good knocks, especially his half-century two games ago.

He can bat anywhere in the order and can be his team’s top batsman in this contest.

His price of 4.5 with 22Bet looks too big given his recent form.

West Indies to Have Highest Opening Partnership

One thing that has really held England back at times this tournament has been the lack of support for KP at the top of the order.

Phil Mustard just hasn’t been able to get runs on the board. Even if Pietersen return to form here, there is nothing to say Mustard will stick around.

In contrast, the West Indies’ openers have been solid.

William Perkins and Ridley Jacobs made an accomplished start against Bangladesh and could be paired together again on the back of that.

West Indies to have the highest partnership is priced at 1.85 with 22Bet.
