Match 02 of Legends League Cricket will see the World Giants lock horns with the Asia Lions at the Al Amerat Cricket Ground in Oman on January 21, 2022.
The World Giants, led by explosive batter Kevin Pietersen, will be confident about their chances in the tournament. Their pace battery will be led by Morne Morkel and Bret Lee. Brad Haddin, Owais Shah and Brendan Taylor will play crucial roles with the bat.
Having lost their tournament-opener to the India Maharajas, the Asia Lions will be looking to bounce back in this encounter. Batting first against the India Maharajas, the Lions put-up a steep 175-run total. Upul Tharanga (46-ball 66) and Misbah-Ul-Haq (30-ball 44) were the top-scorers for the Lions. Cameos from Kamran Akmal and Mohammed Hafeez propelled the Lions to an above par total.
Defending a mammoth 176 runs, the Lions' effective bowling petered-out after a terrific start. On a night where the bowlers were taken to the cleaners, Shoaib Akhtar rolled back the years as he bowled an economic spell, claiming figures of 1/21 in his quota of overs. Other bowlers leaked runs as the India Maharajas chased down the target with six wickets to spare.
