Pitch Report

The surface at the Holkar Stadium suits the batters, and the shorter boundaries make for a high-scoring venue. The venue went into the record books when former Indian opener Virender Sehwag registered a blistering double century in an ODI against West Indies at this venue in 2011. The team winning the toss might opt to bat first with a bit of rain in the forecast.

Probable Playing XIs

England Legends:

Mal Loye, Ian Bell (c), Tim Ambrose, Phil Mustard (wk), Rikki Clarke, Dimitri Mascarenhas, Darren Maddy, Chris Schofield, Chris Tremlett, Stephen Parry, Stuart Meaker

South Africa Legends:

Henry Davids, Morne van Wyk (wk), Alviro Petersen, Jacques Rudolph, Jonty Rhodes (c), Johan Botha, Eddie Leie, Johan van der Wath, Garnett Kruger, Makhaya Ntini, Andrew Puttick

Probable Top Performers

Probable best batter of the match:

Andrew Puttick:

The South African opening batter, Andrew Puttick, compiled a well-paced half-century in the previous encounter against the New Zealand Legends to guide the Proteans home with almost seven overs and nine wickets to spare. His innings helped his side bounce back from the embarrassing defeat against the India Legends in the first match.

Probable best bowler of the match:

Johan Botha:

The former South African all-rounder is the joint second leading wicket-taker of the tournament so far, with four scalps to his name in two matches. All of his four wickets came in the second match against a hapless New Zealand batting order as he returned with impeccable bowling figures of 4/11 in his four overs. His exploits with the ball helped reduce the Kiwis to a mediocre total of 99 runs in their 20 overs.
