Legends League Cricket 2023, Match 1, India Maharajas vs Asia Lions: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, and Live Streaming Details

India Maharajas and Asia Lions are set to lock horns in Match No.1 of the Legends League Cricket (LLC) 2023 on Friday, March 10. The West End Park International Cricket Stadium in Doha will host the contest.

India Maharajas will be captained by Gautam Gambhir, who is also a two-time IPL champion, having captained Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) to the titles in 2012 and 2014.

The team has a strong batting line, consisting of the likes of Murali Vijay, Suresh Raina, Robin Uthappa and Yusuf Pathan. Harbhajan Singh, Pravin Tambe and Pragyan Ojha form a spin trio good enough to take down the best of the batting lineup. Irfan Pathan and Yusuf Pathan are the all-rounders. The likes of Mohammad Kaif, Manvinder Bisla and Stuart Binny are also a part of the squad.

The Asia Lions, on the other hand, will be led by Shahid Afridi, who recently played an exhibition match for Peshawar Zalmi and Quetta Gladiators ahead of PSL 2023. Upul Tharanga and TM Dilshan should open the open the batting with Misbah-ul-Haq and Asghar Afghan in the middle order.

Thisara Perera and Abdul Razzaq are the all-rounders that the Lions have at their disposal. Sohail Tanvir, who recently retired from all forms of cricket, is also a part of the squad. Muttiah Muralitharan and Abdur Razzak further strengthen their bowling attack.
