Legends League Cricket 2023, Match 2, World Giants vs India Maharajas: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, and Live Streaming Details

World Giants and India Maharajas will lock horns in the second game of the Legends League Cricket (LLC) 2023 on Saturday (March 11) at the West End Park International Cricket Stadium in Doha.

The Maharajas, led by Gautam Gambhir, didn’t make the greatest of starts to their campaign. On Friday (March 10), they lost by nine runs to Asia Lions, captained by former Pakistan all-rounder Shahid Afridi.

After batting first, the Lions racked up a decent score of 165-6. Misbah-ul-Haq rolled back the clock with a knock of 73 off 50 with two fours and four sixes. Gambhir scored 54 off 39 but failed to help his team chase down the target.

The Giants will be captained by Aaron Finch, who recently announced his retirement from all forms of international cricket. Their batting lineup, consisting of the likes of Shane Watson, Chris Gayle, Lendl Simmons and Hashim Amla, is a power-packed one.

Watson and Kallis are also expected to roll their arms over and chip in with useful overs. Brett Lee, one of the fastest bowlers during his heydays, will also be in action. The Giants also have Tino Best and Monty Panesar in their bowling lineup.
