England Legends will square off against Bangladesh Legends in the seventh match of the Road Safety World Series on Sunday. While it will be England Legends' first outing in the tournament, Bangladesh Legends have already played one game.
England Legends, led by Kevin Pietersen, have a strong side at their disposal. Pietersen, Jonathan Trott, and Owais Shah are likely to be star batsmen. On the bowling front, the likes of James Tredwell, Monty Panesar, Ryan Sidebottom, and Chris Tremlett will lead the charge. They will start Sunday's game as favorites.
Bangladesh Legends, on the other hand, were humbled by Indian Legends in their first game of the Road Safety World Series. They did get off to a solid start, with Nazimuddin stroking his way to a solid 49. But once he was dismissed, it was all downhill for Bangladesh Legends. From 59/0, they crumbled to 109 all out. Their bowling looked toothless as well as the India Legends wiped out the chase in 10.1 overs. The Mohammad Rafique-led side need to pull up their socks quickly, starting against England Legends.

Pitch Report
The track at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium in Raipur has something in it for everybody. It is a solid one to bat on, but the bowlers will be assisted as well. While the fast bowlers got some movement early on with the new ball, the spinners also got decent turn. A score of around 150-160 could be par at the venue.
