West Indies and England Champions have reached the World Champions of Legends 2026 Final despite finishing 3rd and 4th in the points table. England won just two of their 5 matches in the league stage before they beat South Africa Champions in the semi-final.
WI Champions, on the other hand, are coming into this match on the back of two back-to-back wins. They beat mighty India before chasing down a target against Australia Champions in the semi-final.
Moeen Ali is the in-form batter for England Champions in the middle order, while Joe Denly also rose to the occasion in the semi-final. Opening batters Dawid Malan and Ravi Bopara have also delivered promising knocks in the previous matches.
For the Windies Champions, Chadwick Walton will be the key player at number 3. He has delivered big knocks in the last two outings, including a match-winning performance in the semi-final. The 52-year-old Shivnarine Chanderpaul also looked in great touch in the last game and will be one to watch.

Can the top order of Ravi Bopara, Dawid Malan, and Jason Roy come good in this match? The three hold the key to a strong start and will need to build partnerships that set the stage for a big total.
The openers were dismissed early in the powerplay, and the number Jason Roy was also out for just 17 off 15 balls in the semi-final. England Champions were back on track to a competitive total courtesy of a 95-run partnership between Moeen Ali and Joe Denly for the 4th wicket.
England Champions have lost their top 3 batters in quick succession for two games in a row. Before the semi-final, batting second against Australia Champions, chasing a 219-run target, ENGCH went from 47 for 1 to 59 for 3 in a matter of 2 overs.
Moeen Ali, Joe Denly, and Phil Mustard are the big guns in the middle and lower middle order. These three have been quite impactful in leading England Champions’ comeback in recent outings. Samit Patel and Toby Roland-Jones ensure depth in the batting order and can deliver a handy finish.
Patel played a key role with the ball in the semi-final along with Tymal Mills, who was exceptional in delivering the top-order wickets. Skipper Ravi Bopara has found a wicket in each of his last three outings and will be one to watch.
Tymal Mills picked up 3 for 17 in the last game while Patel finished with 2 for 27
Moeen Ali scored 70 and 94 in his last two outings for England Champions at number 4

West Indies Champions finished 3rd in the points table with 3 wins from 5 matches. They finished the league stage on a winning note and carried the momentum into the semi-final, where they beat Australia Champions by 5 wickets.
Chadwick Walton delivered a game-changing knock in both outings. However, opening batter Lendl Simmons failed to convert his starts. He was out for 22 off 26 against India Champions in the last league stage game while being dismissed for 22 off 18 balls in the semi-final.
Dwayne Bravo took over the captaincy as Chris Gayle was rested for the semi-final. As a result, Jermaine Blackwood was promoted up the order to open the innings alongside Simmons. He failed to make any impact and couldn’t even score at run-a-ball.
Shivnarine Chanderpaul came in for Gayle, and the 52-year-old southpaw batter delivered a strong performance, scoring 41 off 27 balls at number 5. It was a game-changing knock that helped West Indies Champions chase down the target.
He will be one to watch in the lower middle order. Carlos Brathwaite and Raymon Reifer are other key batters in the lower order with big-hitting abilities. Brathwaite is a World Cup-winning player who has etched his name in the books when he chased down a big ask in the final over to take Windies to a World Cup win.
Sheldon Cottrell picked up 4 for 20 in the semi-final against Australia Champions and a total of 8 wickets in the last 3 innings

We expect clear skies in Sharjah around the time of the game, with a high of 32 degrees Celsius and a humidity of around 69 per cent. While the humidity is considerably on the higher side, it will not make much of an impact on the bowling conditions after the powerplay. The dew could come into play in the second innings and make it a tad bit easier to score runs.

It is a balanced wicket at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium where the bowlers have come into their own in recent matches. The batters dominated in the first half, but as the league progressed, we saw the first-innings totals drop considerably as the contest between bat and ball started getting more even. The average first-innings score in the last 6 games played here is 183 runs. The highest total successfully chased in these games was 173 runs, by the West Indies Champions in the semi-final.
As predicted before, the pitch has changed quite a bit, and chasing isn’t as easy on this ground. Teams batting first have won 4 of the last 6 matches played on this ground in Sharjah. Moreover, it is the Final, a game of nerves, and as such, both teams will prefer to have runs on the board and defend the total on a wicket that has started to slow down.
It will be a close-fought contest between two promising teams. England Champions found their rhythm in the last match with a convincing win over South Africa Champions, while Windies have won back-to-back games. Both teams have the winning momentum and some in-form, match-winning batters in the middle order.
Nevertheless, there are vulnerabilities in both batting lineups, and it will all come down to the bowlers to put their side ahead in the contest by chipping away at crucial wickets. While the toss will play a big role in this match, England Champions, in our match analysis, have a slight edge going into this contest, given their batting strength and the overall team balance.
