The bowling attack of Yuvraj Singh’s all-time Playing XI included Wasim Akram, Shane Warne, Muttiah Muralitharan and Glenn McGrath.
A day earlier, Pakistan Champions and India Champions faced each other in the final of the WCL at Edgbaston where India Champions beat Pakistan by five wickets.
Set to chase 157, India Champions knocked the winning runs with five balls to spare when Irfan Pathan hit Sohail Tanvir for a four. Ambati Rayudu smashed 50 off 30, hitting two sixes and five fours.
Younis Khan’s decision to bat first after winning the coin toss did not bear fruits for the Pakistan Champions as they put a par total on the board.
The Indian bowlers restricted the Khan-led side to 156 in their 20 overs as Anureet Singh was the star with the ball for India Champions while Vinay Kumar, Pawan Negi and Irfan Pathan chipped in with a wicket apiece.
