Let us tell you that the first semi -final match of WCL 2025 was to be played between India and Pakistan on 31 July. Pakistan won all matches and made it to the semi -finals. At the same time, India has won only one match due to net run rate and reached the semi -finals.
Shahid Afridi’s controversial statement
Former Pakistan player Shahid Afridi said with full confidence before the match, “Pakistan has reached the semi -finals. Now I don’t know with which mouth India will play, but it will play with us.” Just hours after his statement, India Champions announced to withdraw from the semi -finals, causing Afridi to become trolling on social media.
In its official statement, India Champions wrote, “With a heavy heart we have decided not to play the semi -finals against Pakistan. This decision was not easy. Our players have always made the country proud and they have the right to play without any fear. We can back down from the match, but not with our values. The country is first.
Confirming the decision, the organizers of the World Championship of Legends issued a statement. He wrote, “The game has the power to bring inspiration and positive change, but the respect of the spirit of the audience is paramount. We respect the decision of India Champions and appreciate the readiness of Pakistan Champions. The match is canceled in view of all the circumstances. Pakistan Champions will reach the finals directly.”
