INDM vs AL Team Previews

India Maharajas

The Indian Maharajas will be looking to put their performance in the last season, where they managed to win just 1 of the 4 matches, and will be looking to make a fresh beginning here.

The Maharajas will be led by Gautam Gambhir this season and he will be looking to make a positive start here. Gambhir is likely to pair up with Robin Uthappa at the top of the order and together, the duo will be hoping to give the Maharajas a solid start. Mohammad Kaif is likely to come in at number 3, with Yusuf Pathan following him lower down the order.

The Maharajas have a great finisher in the form of Suresh Raina, however, the team lacks depth in their batting. In turn, they will have to rely on all-rounders Irfan Pathan and Harbhajan Singh to score runs lower down the order.

The team has some good seamers in the form of S Sreesanth, Praveen Kumar, and Irfan Pathan, while Harbhajan Singh and Praveen Tambe are the only two quality spinners in the team.

Asia Lions

The Asia Lions made it to the Finals of the Legends League Cricket in the last season but ended as the runners-up after being defeated by the World Giants in a high-scoring encounter. However, they will be hoping to lift the trophy by the end of this season.

The Asia Lions have a strong batting line-up consisting of some big hitters like Shahid Afridi and Tillakaratne Dilshan. The presence of Musbah ul-Haq, Upul Tharanga, Asghar Afghan, and Rajin Saleh adds depth to the batting order. The team has a couple of quality all-rounders in the form of Thisara Perera and Abdul Razzaq, who can score quick runs toward the end of an inning.

Talking about the bowling, the Asia Lions are likely to start their new ball attack with Shoaib Akhtar and Sohail Tanveer. Muttiah Muralitharan is also a part of the squad for the Asia Lions and will play an important role in this match. He will be helped by Bangladeshi spinner Abdur Razzak during the middle overs.

Pitch and Conditions

The surface at Doha is likely to be flat, offering little assistance to the quicker bowlers. The spinners might get some turn from the pitch but it is the batsmen who will prevail most of the time. We are likely to see a high-scoring encounter here with a first-inning score of close to 180.

The weather is expected to remain slightly overcast with temperatures of around 25 degrees Celsius. 

 

INDM vs AL Betting Tips

Since this is the first match of the season with plenty of changes compared to when the teams last met, this is a difficult match to call. However, we will back the Asia Lions to win this match. They have plenty of depth in their batting and also have two world-class bowlers in the form of Muttiah Muralitharan and Shoaib Akhtar, who are likely to ask tough questions of the Indian Maharajas.

Bet on the Asia Lions to win.
