KEY POINTS
- India’s Legends team bowed out winless after three defeats and forfeited the match against Pakistan
- South Africa lead the tournament and Pakistan follow closely
ISLAMABAD: India’s legends cricket team has become the first side to be eliminated from the World Championship of Legends, exiting the tournament without a single point after three defeats and a forfeited match against Pakistan.
Though India is scheduled to play its final group match against the West Indies Champions tomorrow in Leicester, their fate in the tournament is already sealed.
This sporting disappointment compounds a recent administrative blow, as the Asia Cup 2025 has now shifted to the United Arab Emirates from India.
Meanwhile, South Africa Champions lead the Legends tournament table with 8 points from four wins in five matches, displaying formidable consistency.
Pakistan Legends follow closely in second place with 7 points, while it was deprived of points against India, who refused to face Pakistan.
Pakistan now prepares to take on the Australia Champions in their last pool match at 4:30 PM PST on Tuesday, aiming to secure a strong position ahead of the semi-finals set for July 31.
The grand finale will be held on August 2, promising an exciting climax to the tournament.
