Sri Lanka Legends vs West Indies Legends Team Previews

Sri Lanka Legends

Sri Lanka Legends have demonstrated their purpose for this year by winning four of the five total games in the competition. They are now vying for a position in the finals for the second time in two years, but they must first overcome the task of West Indies legends in the semi-final on Friday. Tillakaratne Dilshan demonstrated his scoring talents in the most recent encounter against the Bangladesh Legends. He made 51 runs on 30 balls. Mahela Udawatte contributed 43 runs off 27 balls. Tillakaratne Dilshan has 179 runs in his past four innings this year. This year, the team appears to be stronger than last season. While protecting 214 runs, Asela Gunaratne grabbed two wickets for 24 runs in three overs, while Tillakaratne Dilshan, this occasion with the ball, claimed three wickets in three overs. The bowlers’ ability to manage West Indies’ explosive opening duo will be put to the test in the semi-final against them.

West Indies Legends

For the second consecutive campaign, West Indies Legends have advanced to the semi-finals, where they will meet Sri Lanka Legends in Raipur. West Indies Legends will make the most of this situation and will not pass up the chance to participate in the finals. West Indies Legends lost their last league round game against Australia Legends after beating Bangladesh Legends and England Legends. Dwayne Smith resumed his good form, scoring 65 runs off 33 balls, but despite Kirk Edwards’ 46 runs off 33 balls, no other hitter could help to the 178-run total. The squad appears to be formidable in the batting area, but they will need to improve their death bowling and wicket-taking ability when they play Sri Lanka Legends in the second semi-final. After chasing 179 runs, Australia Legends hammered West Indian bowlers and won with a magnificent chase in the 16th over. When protecting the score, Dave Mohammed and Dwayne Smith each managed to take only one wicket for their side.
