Miraj International Cricket Stadium

Afghanistan Pathans and Sri Lankan Lions face off in the Asian Legends League with both teams looking for their first win of the tournament. The match is scheduled to be played at the Miraj International Cricket Stadium on 12th March from 2:30 PM IST.

Facts:

Sri Lankan Lions’ Vikum Sanjaya is the leading wicket-taker in the tournament so far with 4 wickets in the opening match.
Two matches out of the scheduled four games in the inaugural edition of the tournament have been abandoned due to inclement weather conditions.

Afghanistan Pathans vs Sri Lankan Lions Chance of Winning

Afghanistan Pathans managed to get off the mark on the points table after their second game of the tournament against Bangladesh Tigers was washed out. Their season hasn’t got off to a great start with a loss in the first game and the second being washed out. Their batters did well in the opening game, but their bowlers would have been eager to make a comeback against the Tigers.

Vikum Sanjaya’s heroics with the ball failed to help his team get a win against the Indian Royals in their first ever game of the Asian Legends League. Their bowlers restricted the Royals to just 161 runs with Sanjaya taking 4 wickets, but their batters failed to perform as a unit as the Lions started the tournament with a loss.

Afghanistan Pathans vs Sri Lankan Lions Prediction & Betting Tips 2025

The Miraj International Cricket Stadium has helped batters with three of the four innings played at the venue so far seeing scores above 160. The average score at the venue is over 178 and hence, we’re expecting another high scoring match if the weather permits.

The Pathans captain Asghar Afghan scored a half century at a strike rate of over 180 in the opening match. He has pedigree on his side and we’re expecting the wicketkeeper-batsman to go big against the Lions. Lasith Lakshan top scored for the Sri Lankan Lions in their opening game with 35 runs before being stumped in the 15th over. While the openers didn’t get going, Lakshan stabilised the innings and we’re backing him to post a big score for the team once again in Nathdwara.

Afghanistan Pathans vs Sri Lankan Lions Match Toss Prediction

Sri Lankan Lions failed to chase the target down against the Indian Royals in their opening game. The Afghanistan Pathans, on the other hand, were unable to defend the target against the Asian Stars. With it being an afternoon game, we’re expecting the captain that wins the toss to bat first and avoid fielding in the afternoon sun.

Weather Report

The players are in for a windy game at the Miraj International Cricket Stadium, which is ideal for a game that is expected to be played with the temperature in the mid-thirties. After two matches getting washed out, we’re likely to see a complete game being played out as the sky is expected to remain clear during match hours.

Afghanistan Pathans vs Sri Lankan Lions Betting Odds

Expect wickets to fall in the powerplay overs

Both teams failed to perform well in the powerplay overs in their respective games. The team from Afghanistan had lost both their openers by the fourth over itself against the Stars in a game where their middle order excelled. The Lions were even worse against the Indian Royals, seeing three of their batters go back to the pavilion during the field restrictions. While we’re expecting both teams to do better, we would be surprised if we didn’t see four or more wickets in the powerplay overs.

Afghanistan Pathans vs Sri Lankan Lions Top Batters

Asghar Afghan to be Afghanistan Pathans’ top batsman

Afghanistan’s wicketkeeper-batsman and captain Asghar Afghan is our pick to be the team’s top scorer in the match against the Lions. The 37-year-old was at his aggressive best against the Asian Stars. He will be eager to get back to the pitch after the second game was abandoned.

Lasith Lakshan to be Sri Lankan Lions’ top batsman

Uncapped batter Lasith Lakshan was the Lions’ top scorer in the opening match. He managed the Indian bowlers well by finding his way to a 32-ball 35, a knock which included four boundaries. We’re expecting him to bat sensibly against the Pathans and top score for his team once again.

Afghanistan Pathans vs Sri Lankan Lions Top Bowlers

Ashraf Pathan to be Afghanistan Pathans’ top bowler

The medium pacer is trusted with the ball right after the powerplay overs have ended. Ashraf Pathan is an economical bowler as he showcased in the runfest in the opening match, conceding just 27 runs in his quota of four overs. We’re expecting him to trouble the Sri Lankan Lions batters in Nathdwara.

Vikum Sanjaya to be Sri Lankan Lions’ top bowler

33-year-old Vikum Sanjaya became the leading wicket-taker of the tournament with a sensational performance against Indian Royals. The medium pacer ended the match with figures of 4/23 while bowling at an economy rate of 6 runs per over. We’re expecting him to perform well once again.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Afghanistan Pathans

Afghanistan Pathans showed that they have what it takes with the bat in the first game. Their bowlers didn’t get a chance to redeem themselves in the second match. Sri Lankan Lions, on the other hand, didn’t impress against the home team. We’re expecting the Pathans to finally get their hands on a win at the third time of asking.
