India and Pakistan will clash in the final of the World Championship of Legends. Pakistan will surely be in a bad shape before this title clash on the evening of 13th July. This is because while defeating Australia in the second semi-final of WCL 2024, Indian captain Yuvraj Singh has shown them the trailer of their destruction and ruin. Actually, the condition of Indian batting in this match was such that whoever came, started thrashing the Australian bowlers. The real king of this explosive Indian batting, adorned with 18 sixes and full of action, was Yuvraj Singh, who created havoc in just 28 balls.
In the semi-final match, India Champions batted first against Australia Champions. The team did not have a good start as the first two wickets fell before the score crossed 50 runs. But, what happened after that was something Australia Champions would not have even imagined. Captain Yuvraj Singh made a mark as soon as he came to the crease. Robin Uthappa, who was already standing firm at one end, was already attacking. But, now Uthappa's attack on the Australian bowlers had got Yuvraj's back-up.
Robin Uthappa was out after scoring 65 runs in 35 balls.
His innings, played at a strike rate of 185.41, included 6 fours and 4 sixes. Yuvraj was still at the crease, Yusuf Pathan came to support him and he also picked up the game from where Uthappa had left it. Yuvraj and Yusuf thrashed the Australian bowlers.Yuvraj Singh faced 28 balls and scored 59 runs at a strike rate of 210.71, in which he hit more sixes than fours. Left-handed explosive batsman and captain of India Champions Yuvraj Singh hit 5 sixes in his innings as compared to 4 fours.
After the departure of Yuvraj Singh, the Pathan brothers together razed Australia to the ground, which you can guess by looking at their batting strike rate in the match. Yusuf Pathan's strike rate was 221.73. Whereas Irfan Pathan created a storm with a strike rate of 263.15. The result was that the Indian champions scored a mammoth score of 254 runs in the semi-finals.
Now Australia had a target of 255 runs. But, what is this, they collapsed after scoring only 168 runs.
And, in this way, the Indian Champions got the license to face Pakistan in the final of the World Championship of Legends. That is, the batting fireworks shown against Australia was just a trailer, the real picture is yet to come, which will be seen in the final against Pakistan Champions some time from now.
