Libra Legends face Leo Lions in the final fixture of the group stage of Masters Champions League (MCL) at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Sunday.
The Legends have been the weakest team so far in this tournament, and are yet to win a game. However, they can spoil Leo Lions' party if they can manage to defeat them.
Leo Lions have won a couple of games so far in MCL 2016 and have managed to collect four points from as many games.
This is a must-win game for the Lions if they want to qualify for the semi-finals of MCL 2016. If they lose this game, they will have to do nothing but hope Capricorn Commanders do not win their match against Virgo Super Kings. Even if the Commanders win, they will have to win by a close margin and that wil propel the Lions into the semi-finals.
Although, it is highly unlikely that the Lions will end up losing their match against the Legends on Sunday. But this is a funny game: One can never guess the outcome beforehand.
The Legends have been outclassed in all departments in all their games. It is almost like they are the easiest side to defeat in the league. The Lions will be aware of the Legends' form, and will look to capitalise on that and make a comfortable entry into the final four.
Gemini Arabians have already made it to the semi-finals and so have Sagittarius Strikers (because of their net run rate). But the second, third and the fourth-placed in the top four will only be determined after the two games on Sunday.
Squads:
Leo Lions: Brian Lara (C), Darren Gough, Simon Jones, Fidel Edwards, Herschelle Gibbs, Robin Peterson, Johan Botha, Scott Styris, Hamish Marshall, James Franklin, Heath Streak, Brendan Taylor, Kyle Jarvis, Ramesh Powar, Neil Carter, Mohammad Tauqir.
