One of the most anticipated matchups will be the India vs. Pakistan clash on July 20. The semi-finals will be held on July 31, followed by the grand final on August 2. With stars like Sarfaraz Ahmed and AB de Villiers in the mix, the World Championship of Legends season 2 is shaping up to be an unforgettable event.
