Apart from India and Pakistan, Australia and West Indies have also made it to the last 4. Now it is the turn of the semi-finals, the matches will be played on July 12.
The Indian champion team lost its last league match to South Africa
The Indian champions lost their last league match against South Africa by 54 runs. But the team has achieved the desired net run rate. Therefore the team has qualified for the semi-finals. Now in the semi-finals, on one side West Indies will face Pakistan champions and on the other side the Indian champion team will face Australia champions. Both these matches will be played on July 12. The match between West Indies and Pakistan will be played at 5 pm Indian time, while the match between Australia Champions and India Champions will start around 9 pm. The teams winning the semi-final matches will go directly to the final and the final will be played on July 13. Whichever team wins this match will be called the winner of this year's World Championship of Legends.
Despite South Africa's victory, their place in the semi-finals is confirmed
Yuvraj Singh won the toss and decided to bowl first. South Africa batted first and scored 210 runs at the loss of 8 wickets in 20 overs. Yuvraj Singh and the Indian champion camp must have been thinking that if the Indian team bats later, then the target before them would be how many runs the team needs in 20 overs so that the team can reach the semi-finals. Exactly the same happened. India needed 211 runs to win, but the team needed 153 runs in 20 overs to reach the semi-finals. Which they achieved. The Indian champion team could only score 156 runs after losing 6 wickets in 20 overs and lost the match by 54 runs. That means the South African team could not reach the semi-finals even after winning, while the Indian champion team secured its place in the semi-finals on the basis of good run rate despite losing.
Superb bowling by Harbhajan Singh
Bowling for the Indian champions, Harbhajan Singh dismissed four batsmen for 25 runs in four overs, while Dhawal Kulkarni, Vinay Kumar, Pawan Negi and Yusuf Pathan dismissed one batsman each. Yusuf Pathan scored the most runs for the Indian champions. He played a brilliant innings of 54 runs in 44 balls and got his team a ticket to the semi-finals by hitting a four on the last ball.
