Dehradun, Sep 22 (Ians) In match number 14 of the Road Safety World Series 2022, India Legends will take on England Legends here at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on September 22.
It will be the first match for Sachin Tendulkar-led side in Uttarakhand’s capital Dehradun. The first match of the Dehradun leg between New Zealand Legends and West Indies Legends was called-off without a ball being bowled due to rain on September 21.
India Legends’ previous match in the league stage against New Zealand was abandoned in Indore due to a wet outfield on September 19. Only 5.5 overs of the first innings in that game at Holkar Stadium were possible before the skies opened up, making the outfield damp and unfit for play.
Sachin Tendulkar-led side, which landed in Dehradun on September 20, will be eager to get on the pitch and play a complete game as two of their first three games have become a victim of rain.
