Legends Cricket T20

The much-awaited Legends League Cricket T20 kickstarted with the opening encounter between the India Maharajas and the Asia Lions on Thursday at the Al Amerat Cricket Ground in Muscat, Oman. The India Maharajas started off their campaign with a superb 6-wicket victory against Asia Lions in the first match of the T20 competition.

After losing the toss and being asked to bat first, the Asia Lions posted a challenging total of 175 for 7 in their quota of 20 overs. Upul Tharanga played a brilliant innings of 66 runs off 46 balls that included 7 fours and 2 sixes while skipper Misbah-ul-Haq also contributed with a vital 44 runs off 30 balls. On the other hand, India Maharajas found themselves in trouble upfront having been reduced to 34 for 3. However, explosive batsman Yusuf Pathan then smashed a blinder of a knock of 80 runs off only 40 deliveries that consisted of 9 fours and 5 sixes to help his team chase down the total with four balls to spare. India Maharajas stand-in captain Mohammad Kaif also remained unbeaten on 42 off 37 balls.
