"Shaandar Jeet, Dhamaakedaar Dikhawa!" – Australia Champions Thrash West Indies Champions by 8 Wickets

It was absolute carnage in Northampton as Australia Champions made light work of a modest 143-run target, chasing it down in just 9.3 overs to beat West Indies Champions by 8 wickets in the World Championship of Legends 2025.

Batting first, West Indies never really got going. Dwayne Smith scored 22 runs, Chris Gayle scored 21 runs, and Lendl Simmons 29 runs all got decent starts but couldn’t convert them into big scores. Their middle order struggled, and they kept losing wickets at regular intervals. Dwayne Bravo tried to fight back with a quick 26 off 17 balls, but Australia’s bowling attack kept things tight. Peter Siddle was the pick of the bowlers, grabbing 3 wickets, while Coulter-Nile took 2. West Indies finished with 142/8 in 20 overs, which seemed just about competitive until Chris Lynn walked out to bat.

The Aussie opener went berserk, smashing the ball to all parts of the ground. He blasted 81 runs from only 27 balls, including 6 fours and 8 huge sixes. He completely destroyed the Windies bowling attack. Shaun Marsh and Chris Lynn gave Australia a fiery start, and even after Lynn got out, Ben Dunk came in and finished things off in style with a stunning 30 off 9 balls.

Australia ended on 143/2 in just 9.3 overs, winning the match with a 63 balls to spare. It was a one-sided affair that showed just how dangerous the Aussie Legends can be when their batters get going. West Indies will have to go back to the drawing board after this heavy defeat, while Australia will be full of confidence moving forward in the tournament.
