Misbah, Afridi set Legends League alight with sixes, wickets

Former cricketer and head coach, Misbah-ul-Haq is aging like a fine wine quite literally with his bat. In the ongoing Legends League Cricket in Doha, the 48-year-old played a blazing inning of 44 runs off 19 balls and tugged Lions to 99/3 in 10 overs.

Abdur Razzak and Shahid Afridi delivered an economic spell and picked up two wickets each - leading their team to a comfortable win over World Giants.

 

 

The highlight of the match remained Misbah-ul-Haq's fiery inning of 44 runs including four boundaries and three sixes. Tillakaratne Dilshan provided support from the other end and both the former cricketers established a fifty-run stand.

World Giants fell short and couldn't reach the target set especially after losing Chris Gayle and Lendl Simmons in the beginning. Shahid Afridi bagged Gayle's wicket, followed by two wickets taken by Abdur Razzak of Shane Watson and Ricardo Powell - which appeared to be the final nail in the coffin. Asian Lions won the match by 35 runs.
