India Legends
India Legends was successful in winning the 2021 version of the Road Safety World Series and it was against the same opposition Sri Lanka. Indian Legends are playing host to the final and they will have another opportunity to make it two in a row against the same opposition in this game. In their last game, India Legends defeated the Australia Legends by a margin of 5 wickets and with 4 balls remaining. The wicket-keeper batsman for India Naman Ojha played a splendid knock of 90 runs not out from 62 balls in this semi-final win.
Naman Ojha hit five sixes and seven fours during his effort. He was also involved in a 38-run opening wicket partnership with Sachin Tendulkar. Irfan Pathan also provided some fireworks hitting 37 not out from 12 balls. In their semi-final win over Australia Legends, there were only 3 bowlers from the Indian bowling attack that were among wickets. Abhimanyu Mithun picked up 2 wickets for 25 runs from his quota of 4 overs and Yusuf Pathan picked up a couple for 36 runs. Rahul Sharma on the other hand picked up the crucial wicket of the Aussie skipper Shane Watson.
Even though several matches in the Rad Safety World Series for 2022 were washed away due to rain, India Legends have managed to remain unbeaten in the competition. This is a huge morale booster ahead of the finals of the tournament.

In their Friday encounter against the West Indies, Sri Lanka Legends provided a fabulous bowling and fielding display. It was instrumental in the side managing to defend their score of 172 for 9 they had set earlier. They have been pretty impressive during their campaign in the Road Safety World Series 2022. They will be keen to exact revenge for the defeat they suffered in the last year’s final of the same competition.
Sri Lanka Legends have been one of the strongest sides in the competition if not the strongest side. Their batters have kept the runs flowing right throughout the competition. Even though none of their batsmen scored more than 31 runs in the match against the West Indies Legends in the semi-final, they still succeeded in putting up 172 for 9 and won the game in the end. Nuwan Kulasekara continues to have a terrific competition by taking the wickets of skipper Brian Lara and Narsingh Deonarine.
Sanath Jayasuriya picked up his 6th and 7th wicket of the competition in this game. One of these wickets was the crucial wicket of the in-form batter Dwayne Smith.
