The first edition of the World Championship of Legends is currently into its business end, with as many as five teams fighting for the three remaining semifinal slots.
Pakistan Champions, guided by former national team captain Misbah-ul-Haq, became the first side to qualify for the knockouts earlier this week by defeating their Australian, West Indies, Indian and English counterparts.
Quite recently, the 2024 edition of the World Championship of Legends unveiled its entire semifinal and final schedule. Here at OneCricket, we take a detailed look into the date, time table, venue and the qualified teams for the impending knockout fixtures of the tournament.
As of July 8, only Pakistan Champions have qualified for the semifinals of the 2024 World Championship of Legends. The Pakistan Champions are also the only unbeaten side of the tournament so far, and are currently placed at the top of the six-team points table.
They are followed by Australia Champions and India Champions at number two and number three respectively, with England and West Indies Champions occupying the next two slots on the standings. Winless South Africa, meanwhile, are placed at the bottom of the table and another defeat for them at this stage of the tournament will likely end their semifinal prospects.
As far as schedule is concerned, both semifinals of the 2024 World Championship of Legends will be played at the County Cricket Ground in Northampton. The two semifinal matches will be played on the same day, i.e., on July 12. The first semifinal is scheduled to start from 12:30 PM Local Time (5 PM IST) and the second semifinal will launch at 4:30 PM Local Time (9 PM IST).
The final, meanwhile, will be played at Birmingham’s Edgbaston on July 13.
