England Legends haven’t won in any of the two matches they have played so far and are placed in fifth place in the points table.

Sri Lanka Legends covered the runs in just 14.3 overs for a loss of just 3 wickets. EN-L faced a very humiliating defeat just because both their batting and bowling departments failed to perform under pressure. Their second match against South Africa Legends was abandoned without a ball bowled. 

On the other side, West Indies won their first match against Bangladesh Legends by 6 wickets and also their second match against India Legends was abandoned due to a wet outfield. WI-L is occupying the 3rd spot in the league table. In the inaugural match of the league, BAN managed to score only 98 runs losing all their wickets in the first innings. Krishmar Santokie led the bowling attack by picking three wickets along with Sulieman Benn and Dave Mohammed taking two wickets each.
