It was an exciting day as the Asia Lions took on the World Giants in a 10 over rain-curtailed game. Openers Misbah ul-Haq and Tilakaratne Dilshan put on a fine partnership to set their team up for success but it was ultimately the spinners who took charge to snatch the win. Abdur Razzak and Co were able to restrict the Giants to just 64 runs, 35 runs shy of the Lions’ score, despite their early momentum in the chase. The end result was a convincing victory for Asia Lions and they looked thrilled with their performance at full-time.
The anticipation is reaching a fever pitch ahead of the fourth match of Legends League Cricket 2023, between India Maharajas and Asia Lions. Gautam Gambhir will be leading India Maharaja‘s as they look to improve on their disappointing start to the season, where two games have gone winless for them. On the other side, Asia Lions will be hungry for a third consecutive victory, led by former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi. It promises to be an incredible game of cricket, with a blockbuster head to head between some of cricket’s greatest ever stars – there’s no doubt that this match has the potential to be one of the most exciting yet!
The Asia Lions pulled off a thrilling win over the India Maharajas in their last encounter. Lead by Misbah-ul-Haq, the former Pakistan captain, the Lions posted a total of 165 runs – moderate but surely obtainable. Despite an admirable knocking from Gautam Gambhir, who registered another half century, it proved to be insufficient to overcome the Lions’ tally as the Maharajas fell 9 runs short on 156. Buoyed by a near match-winning performance, it was fitting that Misbah-ul-Haq was crowned player of the match for his 76 knock which enabled them to gain such an impressive victory.
