Champions Cup 2024 Match 2, STA vs LIO Match Prediction: Who Will Win Today's Match?

STA vs LIO, Champions Cup 2024: Prediction for 2nd Match [X]

The Stallions (STA) and the Lions (LIO) will play against each other in the second match of the Champions Cup 2024. This match will be played at the Iqbal Stadium in Faisalabad on September 13 at 3:30 PM IST. 

Mohammad Haris, the young wicket-keeper batter of Pakistan, will lead the Stallions in this tournament. The Stallions will be boosted by the presence of players Babar Azam and Shan Masood in their team. While their batting unit looks pretty strong, the bowling is also not behind. Haris will have bowlers like Ubaid Shah, Abrar Ahmed, and Haris Rauf to use during the tournament. The Lions look balanced on paper, with all their bases covered. 

The ace Pakistani speedster Shaheen Afridi will be in charge of the Lions. In his batting department, Afridi will have the likes of Abdullah Shafique, Imam-ul-Haq, and Omair Yousuf. Hunain Shah, Aamir Jamal, and Faisal Akram will be matching shoulders with him in the bowling department. 

Both teams look pretty balanced, and they will be looking to start off their journey with a win in this game. 

How Will the Iqbal Stadium Pitch Behave?

The pitch at the Iqbal Stadium in Faisalabad looked flat, helping the batters play their shots freely and get full value for their shots in the first match, especially during the first innings under the sun. However, the new ball bowlers did get a bit of assistance from the track under the lights, and we can expect much of the same in this game. 

STA vs LIO: Predicted Toss Result

The track looked better for batting in the first innings. With the sun out, the track looked good for batting, and there was not much moisture on the track for the bowlers. However, under the lights, the story changes a bit. The new ball bowlers got movement off the track during the second innings. So, the captain winning the toss might look to bat first.
