Pakistan Champions posted a 157-run target against India Champions in the final match of the World Championship Of Legends (WCL) 2024 which is being played at the Edgbaston Stadium in Birmingham on Saturday.
Earlier, Pakistan Champions won the toss and decided to bat first.
Pakistan have been on fire in the WCL 2024 as they have just lost one match, which was their last group outing against South Africa.
The Green Shirts, led by Younis Khan, defeated Australia, India, England and West Indies in the group stage and are in top form.
In the semi-final against West Indies, after setting the 199-run target, the Pakistani bowlers showcased a brilliant display and propelled their team to the tournament’s final. Sohail Khan was Pakistan’s best performer with the ball as he bagged four wickets and restricted the West Indies to 178 runs.
On the other hand, India made it to the tournament’s semi-final due to having a better Net Run Rate (NRR) than South Africa as they had just won two of their five group matches.
However, in the semi-final against Australia, India handed a humiliating 86-run defeat after dominating them both with the ball as well as the bat.
Chasing the massive 255-run target, Australia were never in the game as the Indian bowlers dominated the opponents from the very start.
The Indian bowlers continued to trouble the Aussies, who concluded their innings at 168-7 in the allocated overs.
