Team News
Sri Lanka Legends
The Sri Lanka Legends have been bang on in this tournament so far and have put in all round performances with the bat and the ball in their first two games. Dilshan and Munaweera have been in sublime form with the bat in hand and the former has led the side remarkably well.
They also have great bowling options in their ranks such as Isuru Udana, Nuvan Kulesekera and Jeevan Mendis. The old GOAT Sanath Jayasuriya still has got magic with the ball in his hand. In the game against England Legends, he picked up 4 wickets.
South Africa Legends
South Africa have also had a good run in the tournament so far. After getting a beating against the India Legends, South Africa Legends bounced back and put in a comprehensive performance to get the better off New Zealand Legends. They have the likes of Alviro Petersen, Morne Van Vynk, Andrew Puttick and Vermon Philander which makes this a dangerous outfit.
