The Kanpur phase of the Road Safety World Series 2022 has ended and the mega event now moves to Holkar Cricket Stadium, Indore.

The first day in the central Indian state brings a doubleheader to cricket fans. Bangladesh, New Zealand, England and West Indies are the four teams partaking in the first day of the Indore phase. Let’s look at all the details about the two matches of the RSWS 2022.

Match 8: Bangladesh Legends vs New Zealand Legends

The first match at Holkar Stadium pits the sixth and eighth teams against each other. Both Bangladesh and New Zealand have lost their first match and have failed to gain a single point so far. Similarities between the two bottom teams do not end just there. Both these teams have also failed to get past 100 runs in their first match with Bangladesh Legends producing 98/10 whereas NZ Legends coming up with 99/8 against South Africa Legends.

Both teams would have to improve massively if they are to move ahead in the RSWS Table.

Match 9: England Legends vs West Indies Legends

The second match of the Indore leg brings two of the mid-table teams against each other. Both West Indies and England have played two matches so far with West Indies winning one while England winning none.

Both teams’ one match however got washed out due to rain so it would be a little difficult to draw any major conclusions from the matches. England however looked really poor in their first match as they could only reach 78 against a strong Sri Lanka side.

West Indies meanwhile came up with a dominating win in their first RSWS 2022 match against Bangladesh as they won the game by six wickets.

England Legends vs West Indies Legends Probable XI:

England Legends: Phil Mustard (wk), Ian Bell (c), Mal Loye, Darren Maddy, Tim Ambrose, Dimitri Mascarenhas, Rikki Clarke, Chris Schofield, Chris Tremlett, Stephen Parry, Stuart Meaker

West Indies Legends: Dwayne Smith, Dave Mohammed, Narsingh Deonarine, Kirk Edwards (c), Danza Hyatt, William Perkins (wk), Sulieman Benn, Devendra Bishoo, Marlon Black, Krishmar Santokie, Daren Powell
