Pakistan Champions posted a 157-run target in the final of the World Championship Of Legends (WCL) 2024 which is being played at the Edgbaston Stadium in Birmingham on Saturday.
The Men in Green finished on 156/6 after winning the toss and opting to bat first.
Anureet Singh led India Champions’ bowling charge with a three-for and curtailed Pakistan Champions on a small total.
Younis Khan’s decision to bat after winning the coin toss did not bear fruits for the Pakistan Champions as they put a par total on the board.
Pakistan Champions had a shaky start to their innings as their in-form hard-hitting opener Sharjeel Khan fell victim to Anureet Singh in the second over with just 14 runs on the board.
Pakistan looked to score at a better rate, with Sohaib Maqsood (21) taking charge; however, Vinay Kumar bowled him to put pressure on the Men in Green.
Kamran Akmal (9-24) also couldn't capitalise on the start he got, whereas Younis Khan (7) couldn't replicate his semi-final heroics.
