The 24th of September 2022 brings a double header in the Road Safety World Series 2022. Australia Legends will go against South Africa Legends in the first match while Sri Lanka Legends take on New Zealand Legends in the second. 

Let’s look at all the details of the second match between Sri Lanka and New Zealand Legends. 

Match 17: Sri Lanka Legends vs New Zealand Legends 

The 17th match of the Road Safety World Series 2022 brings the third-placed team Sri Lanka Legends against the fourth-placed team New Zealand Legends. Sri Lanka have won all of their three matches so far and look like one of the strongest teams in the league. The Tillakaratne Dilshan-led side has so far defeated South Africa, England and Australia and have continued their form from the last edition when they lost in the finals. 

The New Zealand side on the other hand are nowhere close to Sri Lanka’s team contrary to their league table standings. The Ross Taylor-led side has won just one of their four matches so far. Although two of them have been abandoned by rain as well. They have however failed to score big which could be a huge area of concern for the Kiwis against a high-scoring Sri Lanka side. 

Probable XI: 

Sri Lanka Legends: Dilshan Munaweera, Tillakaratne Dilshan (c), Upul Tharanga (wk), Chamara Silva, Jeevan Mendis, Asela Gunaratne, Isuru Udana, Ishan Jayaratne, Sanath Jayasuriya, Nuwan Kulasekara, Chaturanga de Silva

New Zealand: Ross Taylor (C), Jacob Oram, Jamie How, Jason Spice, Kyle Mills, Scott Styris, Shane Bond, Dean Brownlie, Bruce Martin, Neil Broom, Aaron Redmond, Anton Devcich, Craig McMillan, Gareth Hopkins, and Hamish Bennett.
