India Champions have secured their place in the semifinals of the ongoing World Championship of Legends after a dominant victory over West Indies Champions in their final group stage match on Tuesday. Chasing a target of 145, the Indian team, featuring legends like Yuvraj Singh, Shikhar Dhawan, and Harbhajan Singh, comfortably reached the target in just 13.2 overs.
A spectacular quickfire innings from Stuart Binny, who scored 50 runs off just 21 balls, played a crucial role in the successful chase. Contributions from Dhawan (25), Yuvraj (21), and Yusuf Pathan (21) further strengthened the team's batting performance. On the bowling front, Piyush Chawla was impressive, picking up three wickets to restrict the West Indies to 144 runs in their 20 overs.

In the semifinal, they will be up against Pakistan, but the fortune of the match has been a subject of widespread speculation. The Indian team pulled out of the group stage clash against their arch-rivals, citing national sentiment and an apathy to play against the neighbours. But it is likely that the Indian team will be playing against Pakistan in the semis.
Amid this, India's captain Yuvraj Singh expressed his excitement, saying, "We're delighted to qualify for the semifinals and are optimistic about our chances as the tournament progresses. The target was challenging, but we believed in our ability to chase it down within the allotted overs. Now, our focus is entirely on the upcoming matches as we aim to win the championship."
If we are to take clue from Yuvraj's words, who would have known that they would face Pakistan in the semis, the current notion feels positive. The Indian team will be hoping to showcase their might against Pakistan, which is set to become a high-voltage encounter.
The India vs Pakistan match will start on 5 pm IST on Thursday (July 31).
