Australia Champions will take on Bangladesh Champions in Match 7 of the World Championship of Legends (WCL) 2026 at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium in Sharjah on Wednesday, October 7.
The Australia Champions will be eager to bounce back after suffering a 46-run defeat against India Champions in their opening match. They conceded 196/7 before being bowled out for 150 in 16.2 overs. D’Arcy Short was the standout batter for the side, scoring 65 off 28 balls, but the rest of the batting lineup failed to make a significant impact. They will be hoping for a much-improved performance in this contest.
The Bangladesh Champions, meanwhile, also suffered a defeat in their opening game, going down to England Champions by seven wickets. After posting 164/9 in their 20 overs, they struggled to contain the English batting lineup as England chased down the target in just 16.1 overs.

Probable Best Batter: D’Arcy Short
Left-handed opening batter D’Arcy Short was the standout performer with the bat for Australia Champions in their opening match against India Champions. He smashed 65 off just 28 deliveries, including four fours and seven sixes. Short will be looking to carry his impressive form into this contest and provide Australia with another quick start.
Probable Best Bowler: Kane Richardson
