Buckle up, cricket fans — the mother of all clashes is back!
After weeks of suspense, drama, and controversy, Pakistan and India are officially set to collide in the semi-final of the World Championship of Legends (WCL) 2025 on July 31 at Grace Road, Birmingham — and it’s going to be fireworks!
This wasn’t just any fixture. It was the one that never happened — scrapped earlier in the group stage after India refused to play Pakistan, causing massive uproar and leaving fans heartbroken.

🏏 India’s Last-Minute Resurrection!
India snatched a miraculous semi-final spot from the jaws of elimination, chasing down 145 in just 13.2 overs against West Indies Champions. Needing to do it under 14.1 overs to stay alive, Stuart Binny smashed a fiery half-century, with Yuvraj Singh calmly steering the ship. With nerves of steel, India pulled off one of the tournament’s most dramatic turnarounds — clinching the final semi-final spot by net run rate!

Meanwhile, Pakistan steamrolled past Australia with a 10-wicket demolition job, topping the points table with 4 wins from 5 matches, 9 points, and a monstrous +2.452 NRR. The Men in Green are unbeaten against every team they’ve faced — and now, their eyes are locked on the ultimate prize.
