Australia Champions head into their second match of the World Championship of Legends 2026 looking to bounce back after a 46 run defeat to India Champions.
In that game vs India Champions, they were bowled out for 150 in 16.2 overs while chasing 197. D’Arcy Short top-scored with a rapid 65 off 28 balls, and Joe Burns contributed a useful 45, but the rest of the batting struggled to build partnerships.
With the ball, Ben Hilfenhaus took 2 for 42, Ben Laughlin claimed 2 for 20, and Fawad Ahmed picked up 2 for 31. Kane Richardson and Nathan Coulter-Nile went wicketless.
The side still has plenty of firepower with David Warner, Chris Lynn, Usman Khawaja and Ben Dunk in the lineup. Their pace attack remains a strong point, and Australia Champions will look to tighten both batting and bowling to get back to winning ways.

Pakistan Champions enter the World Championship of Legends 2026 with a strong and experienced squad, though their opening match against Bangladesh Champions was postponed.
Led by the explosive Shahid Afridi, the side has plenty of power-hitters and all-round options. Kamran Akmal keeps wickets and opens the batting, while Asif Ali and Sharjeel Khan add big-hitting ability. Mohammad Hafeez, Iftikhar Ahmed and Umar Amin provide balance in the middle order.
The bowling looks sharp with Mohammad Amir, Wahab Riaz, Sohail Tanvir and Rumman Raees sharing the pace duties, while Asif Afridi handles the spin. Pakistan Champions have the quality to post big totals and take regular wickets, and they will be eager to make a strong statement in their first outing.

The pitch is typically dry and slows as the match progresses. Pacers can extract some early movement, but spinners become increasingly effective later with grip and turn. Short boundaries (around 60–65 metres) encourage aggressive batting once players settle. The average first inning score at the venue is 156.
The captain who win the toss would want to bowl first. The venue has historically favoured the chasing team with dew playing a significant role. Data suggests 54% of the matches have been won by the bowling first team.
Pakistan Champions are slight favourites. They hold a 2-0 head-to-head edge and possess explosive talent in Shahid Afridi, Mohammad Hafeez and a sharp pace attack led by Mohammad Amir and Wahab Riaz. Australia Champions have firepower with David Warner and Chris Lynn but will need to bounce back from their opening defeat. The Aussies might also find it difficult against Pakistan's spin bowling. So back Pakistan Champions to win.
