Earlier, former Sri Lankan cricketers Upul Tharanga and Tillakaratne Dilshan hit a brilliant 115-run opening stand as Asia Lions gunned down a 148-run chase with 23 balls to spare. With that, the Lions are the new champions of Legends League Cricket, replacing World Giants. Former South African cricketer Jacques Kallis smashed an unbeaten 78 to power World Giants to 147/4. Kallis and Ross Taylor steadied World Giants’ ship after three early wickets. Abdur Razzak bagged two wickets to remove both openers Shane Watson and Morne van Wyk. But Kallis first played the anchor role and then upped the ante to take Giants to 147.
