MUMBAI: Legendary cricketers Sachin Tendulkar and Brian Lara faced each other for a cause when India Legends took on West Indies Legends in the opening clash of the Unacademy Road Safety World Series at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Saturday (March 7, 2020). India Legends beat West Indies Legends by seven wickets chasing a target of 151 runs.

Virender Sehwag, who started off the chase in a way he usually does, hit 2 fours on the first two balls of the second innings. He continued the form till the end of the match and hit 11 fours and remained unbeaten on 74 off 47 balls. 

In the first innings, West Indies Legends with the help of the left-hand batsman Shivnarine Chanderpaul had posted a 150 run target for the India Legends. Chanderpaul who was struggling with a hamstring hit 61 off 41 balls. He was supported by the opener Daren Ganga who started off the match with some serious trouble to the India Legends bowlers. Ganga was dismissed by Zaheer Khan after adding 32 runs to the board. Zaheer ended with the figures of 2-30 in his four-over quota.

Munaf Patel and Pragyan Ojha also got two wickets each that restricted West Indies Legends to 150 for 8 wickets.

The much-awaited opening duo of India Legends came to the crease amid the loud cheer from the crowd and Sehwag didn't disappoint them as he hit 2 spectacular boundaries on the first two balls of the second innings. Sachin also joined the party later and blasted three consecutive fours that helped the team reach 83 runs in 10 overs without any deficit. The Master-blaster fell short to Sulieman Benn after blasting 36 runs off 29 balls.

While Mohammad Kaif (14) and Manpreet Gony (0) were dismissed cheaply, Yuvraj Singh (10*) and Sehwag (74*) steered India to victory with 10 balls to spare.

Carl Hooper took two wickets for the West Indies Legends.

The tournament, which is being conducted in order to raise awareness regarding road safety, will see a total of five teams facing each other once in the round-robin format. 

The top two sides after the completion of all matches will square off in the final at the picturesque Brabourne Stadium in the Cricket Club of India (CCI) ground on March 22.
