Cricket All-Stars 2015: Teams, Live Stream, TV Info and Preview for Match 2

Rory MarsdenNov 9, 2015

Sachin Tendulkar's Blasters will look to tie things up in the inaugural Cricket All-Stars series on Wednesday when they face Shane Warne's Warriors in Match 2 at Minute Maid Park in Houston.

Warne's side won the first of the three Twenty20 clashes by six wickets in New York, with Ricky Ponting's unbeaten 48 the crucial knock as the Warriors chased down the 141 target.

Both Warne and Tendulkar are aiming to increase the appetite for cricket in the United States through their All-Stars series, which involves two star-studded teams of former internationals.

TV Info: Live in the UK from 1:45 a.m. GMT on Thursday, Nov. 12 on Sky Sports 2.

Preview

The ideal scenario would see the series come down to a Match 3 decider at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles on Nov. 14, but Tendulkar's outfit must up their game if they are to claim a victory in Texas.

The Blasters squad is packed with quality and it could be that Tendulkar and West Indies legend Brian Lara prove instrumental with the bat.

Here are the full squads for both sides:

TeamLineup
Warne's WarriorsShane Warne (c), Matthew Hayden, Ricky Ponting, Michael Vaughan, Jacques Kallis, Kumar Sangakkara, Andrew Symonds, Jonty Rhodes, Saqlain Mushtaq, Wasim Akram, Daniel Vettori, Courtney Walsh, Allan Donald, Ajit Agarkar
Sachin's BlastersSachin Tendulkar (c), VVS Laxman, Sourav Ganguly, Virender Sehwag, Brian Lara, Mahela Jayawardene, Carl Hooper, Lance Klusener, Shaun Pollock, Moin Khan, Graeme Swann, Glenn McGrath, Muttiah Muralitharan, Shoaib Akhtar, Curtly Ambrose

The bowling from the Blasters needs to improve as they could only take four wickets in New York and Warne's Warriors were able to keep ahead of the required rate as a result.

Former Pakistan fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar was the most effective of the Blasters bowlers, taking two wickets in his four overs while keeping his economy down to a very respectable 6.50.

On the other hand, Curtly Ambrose and Shaun Pollock were both very expensive and failed to take any wickets between them.

Tendulkar may choose to make some changes for Wednesday's clash at the home of MLB's Houston Astros.

Here are the two sides that played out the match at Citi Field, both of which could well be altered for Match 2, per Cricket All-Stars:

Former Australia spinner Warne was the most effective of all the bowlers in the opener, as he took three for 20 in his four overs.

He was ably assisted by Allan Donald, Daniel Vettori and Andrew Symonds as the Blasters were held to 140 for eight, and the 46-year-old will hope his bowling attack can be similarly restrictive in Houston.

The 2015 Cricket All-Stars kicked off in exciting fashion in Match 1 as some of the best players to ever play the game faced off.

With the series now hanging in the balance and Tendulkar's side eager to force a decider, Match 2 should be another thrilling encounter.
