World Giants are favorites to win
Asia Lions will take on World Giants at the Asian Town Cricket Stadium. Match 3 of the 2023 Legends League Masters begins at 17:30 local time on Monday 13th March.
After having Saturday off, Asia Lions are back on the pitch in this game looking to build on their nine run victory over India Maharajas in their opening match. They were over-reliant on a couple of players in Match 1 and will be looking for more players to contribute in this clash.
Misbah-ul-Haq top scored for Asia Lions against India Maharajas with 73 runs from 50 balls. He shared in a 108 run partnership with opener-keeper-batter Upul Tharanga and we expect the pair to again be big contributors for Asia Lions in this game.
It was an excellent team bowling performance from Asia Lions on Friday and it was only captain Shahid Afridi who went wicketless out of the six bowlers used. Left arm pace bowler Sohail Tanvir was the pick of the bowlers and will lead the attack again in this match.
Asia Lions got off to a winning start on Friday but there is still plenty of room for improvement for the side.
Aaron Finch’s side got their campaign underway on Saturday and got over the winning line with a very narrow two run victory over India Maharajas. Requiring four runs to force a super over, Brett Lee managed to restrict Irfan Pathan to only two runs.
The Australian pair of Aaron Finch and Shane Watson were the two key batters for World Giants in Match 2 and both players made half-centuries whilst hitting three sixes. Chris Gayle, Jacques Kallis and Ross Taylor all made single figure scores but we would not be surprised to see big scores from them in this match.
As well as holding his nerve with the final ball of the game. Brett Lee also returned impressive figures of 1-17 from his three overs against India Maharajas. However it was off-spinner Ricardo Powell who took the best figures and finished with 2-16 from his three overs. Monty Panesar also bowled well and conceded only 19 runs from four overs.
World Giants have won four of their last five games in Legends League Cricket.
The match will be played at the Asian Town Cricket Stadium, Doha. We have seen four innings with the scores all between 156-166 and we expect another close contest between bat and ball.
