Asia Lions are favorites to win
Asia Lions will take on India Maharajas at the Asian Town Cricket Stadium. Match 4 of the 2023 Legends League Masters begins at 17:30 local time on Tuesday 14th March.
It is two wins from two games for the Asia Lions after they won the rain-reduced clash with the World Giants by 35 runs on Monday evening. A win in this match would guarantee their place in the final which is due to take place next Monday.
Misbah-ul-Haq continued his impressive form in the competition with 44 not out from 19 balls in Monday’s victory over World Giants. He has already hit over 100 runs in the tournament and his strike-rate on Monday was a very impressive 231.57.
Shahid Afridi and Abdur Razzak will both come into this game full of confidence after taking two wickets each from their allocated two overs in the win in Match 3. Razzak was particularly impressive, conceding only two runs and also bowling a maiden over.
Asia Lions are the only team with a 100% record in the Legends League Masters and are at the top of the table.
Defeat in this fixture for India Maharajas would see them up against it in the group stage. They are already two points behind the World Giants, who will have a game in hand after this match, and four points behind Asia Lions. However, they were only narrowly beaten in their last fixture.
Skipper Gautam Gambhir and keeper-batter Robin Uthappa formed a powerful opening batting pair for India Maharajas against World Giants and put on 65 runs from 6.2 overs before the first wicket fell. Murali Vijay retired hurt on Saturday and we do not expect him to play in this match.
Harbhajan Singh was the standout bowler for India Maharajas against World Giants. After going wicketless against Asia Lions in the opener, the 42 year old took 4-13 and was well backed up by 51 year old leg-spinner Pravin Tambe who took 2-17. However, there could be more in this surface for the likes of Irfan Pathan in this match.
India Maharajas are still looking for their first win of the campaign after losing two from two so far.
The match will be played at the Asian Town Cricket Stadium, Doha. After rain during the game on Monday, there could be more moisture in the pitch which should assist the seam bowlers in this match.

Asia Lions won the first meeting between these teams on Friday, but the winning margin was only nine runs so they will not be taking things lightly in this match. India Maharajas have been very competitive but have lacked the ability to get over the finish line and win games so far in the tournament. With Misbah-ul-Haq looking so good with the bat for Asia Lions, we are backing them to win again.
