Preview
India Maharajas and Asia Lions will be up against each other for the second time in the third edition of Legends League Cricket (LLC) Masters and the Gautam Gambhir-led team will be eyeing a revenge when the two teams meet on Tuesday. Shahid Afridi-led Asia Lions registered a thrilling win (by 9 runs) over India Maharajas when they met last time. Maharajas then also lost their match against World Giants making it difficult for them to stay alive in the tournament.
Although captain Gautam Gambhir and a couple of players have put on good performances so far, they have been unable to perform as a group. This is what India Maharajas will look to change when they face Asia Lions on Tuesday. Meanwhile, the Lions will look to replicate or even better their performance from their last meeting.
