India Champions will play their first match in this tournament, but the players of their squad have recently played in a similar tournament, as India Masters. They defeated West Indies Masters by 6 wickets in the final of International Masters League T20. In that match Ambati Rayudu played a match-winning innings of 74* while Vinay Kumar and Nadeem bowled very impactfully with the ball. The team will have experienced stars like Sachin Tendulkar, Rayudu, Vinay and Binny who have performed in pressure matches before as well. This team is emerging as a powerful contender in the tournament and if their recent form is anything to go by, then it would mean that India Champions have the power to easily defeat any team.
Pakistan Champions have started their tournament campaign with a resounding win. They won by just 5 runs against England Champions but their overall performance in the match was balanced. Captain Mohammad Hafeez played a crucial innings of 54 runs while Aamer Yamin made 27 runs off 13 balls in the end to make the score competitive. With the ball, Rumman Raees gave away just 14 runs in 4 overs and took one crucial wicket while Sohail Tanvir took two crucial wickets at the pressure moment. This team is currently on top of the points table and their confidence is also high – especially their disciplined bowling attack that helped them win.
The pitch at Edgbaston is excellent for batting. The ball bounces well and is also fast. The batsman does not face any problem in hitting shots. Fast bowlers also enjoy it here, especially the new ball. If there are slight clouds, the pitch can become slow. If the match is played in the evening, then a little effect of God can also be seen in the second innings. The average score on this ground has been seen to be around 186. There are full chances of it being a high scoring match.
This is not just another T20 match. This is such a rivalry between India and Pakistan where not just ball and bat clash, but emotions clash too. Be it World Cup or any other league, when these two teams face each other the TV remote falls short.
This time the stage is set for legends. There will be openers like Shikhar Dhawan and Robin Uthappa, while Mohammad Hafeez and Sharjeel Khan are also standing in the line. Yuvraj Singh and Suresh Raina will have experience in the middle order, and Shoaib Malik and Asif Ali are also ready to fire. The clash between Yuvraj and Malik has been famous since 2007. At that time, both of them said a lot of things on the field in the World T20. Now, both are coming back as legends, but have the same passion in their hearts.
Where Yusuf and Irfan Pathan can turn the match around with an all-round game on one side, bowlers like Wahab Riaz and Sohail Tanvir will come at full speed from the other side. Wahab vs Yuvraj? That's enough guys, keep the popcorn ready.
Earlier, these two teams did not have a head-to-head record as this is a new season of the Legends Championship. But now, the time has come to write a new chapter. For the first time, cricket warriors from both countries will clash as legends. The more runs are scored, the more memories will be created. Every six, every wicket will have a new story.
This match is not just for the points table, this match is for pride. It is for names. And most importantly, it is for the country.
