India Champions produced a strong all-round effort to defeat West Indies Champions by 5 wickets in Match 15 of the World Championship of Legends (WCL) 2025 at Grace Road, Leicester. After electing to bowl first, India made early inroads, reducing the West Indies side to 57/6. However, Kieron Pollard's explosive innings helped them set a challenging target of 144/9 in 20 overs.

West Indies Champions Innings

Captain Kieron Pollard was the mainstay of the innings; he blasted 74 unbeaten off only 43 balls, which comprised 8 sixes and 3 fours. After losing top- and middle-order batsmen very quickly, Pollard coming from the other end gave the total some respectability. Dwayne Smith (20 off 21) and Dwayne Bravo (9 off 20) were too cautious against Indian bowlers, and hence they scored at a slow rate. Piyush Chawla was brilliant with the ball, finishing with figures of 3/18 in his 4 overs, while Stuart Binny (2/17) and Varun Aaron (2/40) also got some wickets. At one point, the Windies were 57/6 before Pollard’s explosive finish pushed them to 144/9.

India Champions Innings

Chasing 145, India Champions made light work of the target, reaching 148/5 in just 13.2 overs. Stuart Binny continued his all-round brilliance, scoring 50 off 21 balls to set the tone for the chase. Shikhar Dhawan played sensibly and scored 25 off 18 balls, while Yuvraj Singh was brisk enough to score 21 off 11 balls to seal the match. For the West Indies, Dwayne Smith (2/27) and Dwayne Bravo (2/47) got some wickets, but they were unable to control the Indian batsmen Barrage. Sheldon Cottrell also took 1/33 in his 4 overs. With this victory, India Champions created their berth in the semi-finals of WCL 2025.
