Legends League Cricket 2022, Match 2, Manipal Tigers vs Bhilwara Kings: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast and Live Streaming Details

In Match 2 of the Legends League Cricket, Manipal Tigers will take on Bhilwara Kings at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on Sunday (September 18). After an exhibition match between India Maharajas and World Giants on Friday and the first league game between India Capitals and Guajrat Giants on Saturday in Kolkata, the action shifts to Lucknow.

In the first game, Guajrat Giants chased down a target of 180 at the Eden Gardens against India Capital, thanks to Kevin O'Brien’s 106 off 61 balls and 20s from Parthiv Patel and Yashpal Singh. Before that, it was a Caribbean show, as power hitting from Ashley Nurse made sure the Capitals put a decent total on the board. Nurse scored an unbeaten 103 off 43 balls, which included eight fours and nine sixes. Ramdin chipped in with 31 off 26.

Now, we move to Lucknow for another interesting battle between Harbhajan Singh’s Manipal Tigers and Irfan Pathan’s Bhilwara Kings. Both teams have decent squads, which could make for a neck-to-neck battle.

Manipal has some great spinners like their captain Harbhajan Singh, Muttiah Muralitharan and Imran Tahir. Meanwhile, Bhilwara have a seam-heavy bowling attack, with Irfan Pathan leading alongside S Sreesanth, Tim Bresnan, Fidel Edwards and Tino Best.
