India vs West Indies Champions LIVE Score, WCL 2025: Pollard Fights, but India Champions Keep Hopes Alive
The World Championship of Legends (WCL) 2025 is heating up, and today’s clash between India Champions and West Indies Champions was a do-or-die battle for both teams. Held in Leicester, this bottom-of-the-table encounter had high stakes—with the loser facing likely elimination from the tournament.
Early Dominance by India Champions
Winning the toss, India Champions opted to bowl first, and the decision paid off right from the beginning. Varun Aaron and Piyush Chawla tore through the West Indies top order, each picking up two wickets inside the powerplay. Stuart Binny also added to the pressure with a wicket, leaving the Caribbean side struggling at the start.
At one point, it looked like the Windies wouldn’t even cross 100, but then came the resistance.
Pollard Power Lifts WI to 144
Just when things looked gloomy for West Indies, veteran Kieron Pollard stepped up in style. Slamming a superb 74, Pollard kept his team alive in the game. Despite losing wickets regularly at the other end, his aggressive batting helped West Indies Champions reach 144/9 in their 20 overs—a total that gives their bowlers something to defend.
India’s Qualification Hopes Still Alive
Coming into this match, India Champions were under immense pressure. With just 1 point from 4 matches, they were at the bottom of the table. They had lost to England, Australia, and South Africa, and even refused to play against Pakistan. Their only hope of making it to the next round was to beat West Indies by a big margin—and they’ve taken the first step by restricting them to a modest total.
For West Indies, the equation was simple: win and qualify, or lose and go home. With only 2 points from 4 matches before this game, this was their final shot at reaching the top 4.
What’s Next?
Now all eyes are on the second innings. Can the India Champions chase down the target in quick time and boost their net run rate? Or will the West Indies bowlers fight back and spoil India’s hopes?
