Legends League Cricket 2023, Eliminator, India Maharajas vs Asia Lions: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, and Live Streaming Details
India Maharajas and Asia Lions are set to face each other in the Eliminator of the Legends League Cricket (LLC) 2023 on Saturday (March 18). The West End Park International Cricket Stadium in Doha will host the contest.
The Maharajas, led by Gautam Gambhir, didn’t have the greatest of times in the league stage. They finished bottom of the table with two points and a net run rate of +0.512 courtesy of one win from four matches.
Barring their 10-wicket win over the Asia Lions in their penultimate league game, the Maharajas have looked a tad out of sorts. They will go into the Eliminator after losing to the World Giants by three wickets on March 15.
The Lions, led by Shahid Afridi, started their campaign with two back-to-back wins over India Maharajas and World Giants. Just when it seemed the Lions would advance to the finals, they slumped to two back-to-back defeats.
The Lions lost to Aaron Finch’s Giants, who booked their place in the final, by 20 runs in their previous match. After being asked to chase down 151, the Lions were bowled out for 130 in 19.1 overs.
