The second season of the Road Safety World Series is all set to commence at the historic Green Park Stadium in Kanpur on Saturday. India Legends will be taking on South Africa Legends in the tournament opener in what promises to be a mouth-watering contest. Before the two teams face off, here is a stat-based prediction of who might win the toss, the predicted powerplay scores, and the eventual winner of the match.
A winning start is what Indian legends will be aiming for against South African legends. The task though won’t be easy as the Proteas are packed with a lot of quality players such as Rhodes, which includes players like Jacques Rudolph, Lance Klusner, Vernon Philander, and Johan Botha. Their pace attack is their strength, and they would like to trouble Indian batters with fiery bowling.
India has quality players in the batting and they would be yet again banking on Tendulkar to give blistering starts up front.
