Cricket Prediction | PAK Champions vs WI Champions | World Championship of Legends 2025 | 11th Match | July 26 – Does Form or Record Prevail?

PAK-C vs WI-C Match Analysis

The 11th match of the World Championship of Legends 2025 will be played between Pakistan Champions and West Indies Champions on July 26 at Headingley, Leeds. The game kicks off at 3:00 PM local time, with both teams desperate for a win to boost their semifinal hopes.

The Pakistan Champions, led by the seasoned Mohammad Hafeez, have shown to be a well-balanced team with outstanding tactical skill. Their squad combines aggressive top-order power with all-round capabilities in the middle.

Chris Gayle’s West Indies Champions boast an explosive lineup capable of turning games in a few overs. However, inconsistency with the bat and a lack of depth in bowling have hurt them in recent games. After a crushing loss in their most recent game, they will be keen to recover.

Pakistan Champions vs West Indies Champions Team Preview & Squads

Pakistan Champions

The PAK Champions benefit from the poise, expertise, and tactical awareness that Mohammad Hafeez offers. On both ends of the field, Hafeez transforms pressure into poetry by fusing cricketing silk with tactical steel.

The top order is anchored by Kamran Akmal and Sharjeel Khan, both known for quick starts. The required acceleration and stability are supplied by the middle order, which consists of Asif Ali, Hafeez, and Malik. Finishing duties lie with Maqsood and Aamer Yamin, both capable of late fireworks.

The pace trio of Tanvir, Khan, and Raees adds both firepower and finesse to Pakistan’s well-rounded bowling lineup. Hafeez and Malik offer spin control in the middle overs. Their bowling strength was evident in defending a moderate total against the England Champions.

In their opening match against England Champions on July 18, PAK Champions posted 160/9 in 20 overs. The innings saw a late recovery after a middle-order collapse. Tight bowling and smart field placements helped limit England’s scoring to 155 for 3. Pakistan won the match by 5 runs in a nail-biter.

West Indies Champions

Chris Gayle, the Universe Boss, leads the Caribbean unit with flair and brute force. He’s the heartbeat of the team, but his recent form has been inconsistent. A return to his peak performance can give the WI Champions a much-needed boost.

Gayle, Simmons, and Smith at the top can take apart any attack if they get going. The middle order benefits from the big-hitting ability of Pollard and Bravo, but their recent performances have fallen short of expectations. Behind the stumps, Walton brings steadiness, while also being capable of holding the innings together with the bat.

Despite having seasoned players like Shannon Gabriel and Sheldon Cottrell, the WI bowling is not very crisp. Ashley Nurse and Nikita Miller offer spin options, but they struggled to contain Australia in the last game. Bravo and Pollard are handy medium-pacers but not wicket-takers at this stage.

In their previous match against the Australian Champions on July 23, the West Indies Champions managed only 142/8. Despite Pollard and Bravo’s efforts, the batting never really lifted off. In a dominant display, Australia chased down the total in only 9.3 overs, cruising to victory with 8 wickets in hand.The bowling attack looked helpless against aggressive batting.

PAK-C vs WI-C Outfield Report

Headingley, Leeds

TTraditionally a well-balanced wicket, Headingley presents initial help for bowlers, but becomes more batter-friendly under sunny skies. In the absence of grip later in the innings, spinners may have trouble.

The weather in Leeds is forecast to be pleasant, with temperatures hovering around 22°C. Cloud cover may play a role early on, aiding swing and seam. Humidity will remain moderate, not posing much of a challenge to players.

At Leeds, teams batting first generally aim for 160–175 on a decent day. Chasing has proven easier here if the dew settles or if bowlers fail to exploit early conditions. Lowest competitive scores have hovered around 130, often not enough to defend.
