The Australian Legends are set to take on their South African counterparts in match number 15 of the 2022 Road Safety World Series.

Australia Legends, under Shane Watson’s leadership, are currently placed at number six on the points table. They won their latest contest in the final over against Bangladesh Legends, courtesy of a Brad Haddin special in the run-chase. The win remains their only moment of triumph this season since they lost their opening fixture to Sri Lanka Legends earlier this month.

The South Africa Legends, on the other hand, are ranked fifth on the eight-team standings. They have managed just a solitary win out of their four games this season, which came against the New Zealand Legends earlier in the tournament.

The upcoming contest marks a must-win fixture for both sides, as they place their bids for a spot in the semi-finals.
