Before the two teams face off, here is a stat-based prediction of who might win the toss, the predicted powerplay scores and the eventual winner of the match.
1. Toss Prediction
Although this is a brand new season of the competition meant exclusively for retired cricketers, India Legends won 3 of the 7 tosses last season.
