England legends haven’t played a game yet in the Road Safety Series. They had an ordinary season last year as they failed to make it to the semis. They played six games and won three while losing the remaining three games. This year they have a decent team with players like Ian Bell, Nick Compton, and Phil Mustard, but against quality teams like India and Sri Lanka they may struggle.
Meanwhile, Sri Lanka legends defeated Australia legends by 38 runs in the first match. Tillakaratne Dilshan turned back the clock and scored a brilliant 107 while Dilshan Munaweera scored 95 as Sri Lanka legend scored 218-1 in 20 overs before restricting Australia legends to 180.
The wicket is a belter to bat and there is nothing on offer for the bowlers which is evident by the high-scoring games we have seen in the tournament.
There is a 50 per cent chance of rain on the match day. The humidity will be 86 per cent while the temperature will be in the high 20s.
Ian Bell (C), Nick Compton, Darren Maddy, Rikki Clarke, Darren Steven, Stephen Parry, Dimitri Mascarenhas, Phil Mustard, Chris Tremlett, James Tindall, Jade Dernbach

Sri Lanka legends will play the same team while England have a very small squad of 13 members. Tim Ambrose and Mal Loye are likely to miss out.
The two teams met once last season and Sri Lanka legends won by 6 wickets.

Dilshan turned back the clock and smashed the Aussie bowlers, scoring 107 runs in 56 balls with 14 fours and four sixes. He looks still very fit and will be hard to stop for England bowlers.
Upul Tharanga didn’t get much chance to bat in the first game but he is also likely to come good in the coming game. Tharanga was last seen in Legends League Cricket in Oman and he played some magical knocks for Asia Lions.
The all-rounder is remembered for hitting five sixes in an over of Yuvraj Singh. He is a handy all-rounder who can chip in with 2-3 overs and can tonk the ball big down the order.
Isuru Udana is a wonderful cricketer from Sri Lanka. At 34, he is still very young and was an active member of the Sri Lanka team recently. He is an all-rounder so he can contribute both with bat and ball.
Despite retiring from the game, Kulasekara still looks good to trouble the best batters. The banana swing was again on display in the first match as Kulasekara picked up four wickets for 36 runs and helped Sri Lanka beat Australia.
