West Indies Champions delivered a commanding performance to defeat England Champions by nine wickets in the final of the World Championship of Legends 2026 at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium in Sharjah. After restricting England to 159/7 in 20 overs, the Caribbean side produced a dominant batting display to chase down the target in just 17 overs, sealing the title in emphatic fashion.

Dwayne Bravo played a crucial role in England’s downfall with an impressive bowling performance, while Lendl Simmons and Chadwick Walton powered the West Indies Champions to a comfortable victory. Bravo was named Player of the Match for his figures of 3/21, while Walton received the Player of the Series award after finishing the tournament with 342 runs.

Moeen Ali rescues England Champions with fighting knock

England Champions struggled to establish complete control with the bat after being put under pressure by the West Indies bowling attack. Despite losing wickets at regular intervals, Moeen Ali delivered a valuable contribution to keep his team’s innings moving and provide some resistance in the final.

Moeen scored 60 runs off 39 deliveries, producing an important knock that helped England recover from difficult periods. His innings provided the backbone of the batting effort, with the all-rounder showing his ability to accelerate and keep the scoreboard ticking against a disciplined bowling unit.

Owais Shah also played a useful role towards the end, remaining unbeaten on 38 to help England Champions finish their allotted 20 overs with 159/7 on the scoreboard. His contribution offered some late momentum, but England were unable to build a substantially bigger total that could put the opposition under serious pressure.

Bravo emerged as the standout bowler for the West Indies Champions, claiming three wickets for 21 runs. His timely breakthroughs restricted England’s scoring opportunities and prevented the opposition from building the kind of substantial partnership that could have changed the course of the final.

Lendl Simmons and Chadwick Walton lead West Indies to a dominant win

Chasing 160 for the championship, the West Indies Champions produced an authoritative response, with their batters taking control of the contest and leaving England with very few opportunities to fight back. Simmons led the charge with an impressive 77 off 53 deliveries, providing stability at the top of the order while maintaining a healthy scoring rate. His innings ensured that the West Indies Champions remained comfortably ahead of the required rate throughout the chase.

Walton complemented Simmons brilliantly, remaining unbeaten on 58 from just 35 balls. Walton’s aggressive approach put further pressure on the England bowling attack as the partnership continued to push the West Indies closer to the finishing line. The pair combined to guide their team towards the target without allowing England to build any meaningful momentum with the ball. The West Indies Champions eventually reached 165/1 in 17 overs, completing a nine-wicket victory and confirming their status as champions.

Bravo’s contribution with the ball earned him the Player of the Match award. His figures of 3/21 proved instrumental in keeping England Champions to 159/7, giving the West Indies batters a manageable target to pursue in the final. Walton was named Player of the Series after an outstanding tournament with the bat. His tally of 342 runs reflected his consistency and importance to the West Indies Champions’ campaign, with his unbeaten half-century in the final providing another decisive contribution.
