India and Pakistan in the first semi-final of WCL 2025; Now if the match is canceled then who will reach the final?

The India Champions vs. Pakistan Champions match was canceled in the league stage of the World Championship of Legends 2025. This was due to the withdrawal of some Indian players' names. However, the Indian team has advanced to the semi-finals after defeating West Indies. Interestingly, India qualified by finishing fourth in the points table, while Pakistan secured the top spot. The first semi-final between these two teams is scheduled for July 31. Now that these teams are facing each other again, what will happen if the Indian players refuse to play?

India has not played a bilateral series against its arch-rival Pakistan since 2012. Currently, both countries only meet in the Asia Cup or ICC events. Relations between India and Pakistan have worsened to the point where matches are canceled even in leagues. If the semi-final is canceled like the league stage of the World Championship of Legends, who will advance to the final—India or Pakistan?

If the Indian players refuse to play against Pakistan in the semi-final as they did in the league stage, Pakistan will be given a walkover. This means Pakistan will advance to the final without playing the semi-final. In that case, the Indian team, led by Yuvraj Singh, will be declared the loser.

In the last match of the league stage, India defeated West Indies by 5 wickets and qualified for the semi-finals, where they will face first-placed Pakistan. The second semi-final will be between second-placed South Africa and third-placed Australia.

India Champions Team: Shikhar Dhawan, Robin Uthappa, Ambati Rayudu, Stuart Binny, Yuvraj Singh (Captain), Yusuf Pathan, Gurkeerat Singh Mann, Irfan Pathan, Suresh Raina, Harbhajan Singh, Varun Aaron, Piyush Chawla, Vinay Kumar, Siddharth Kaul, and Abhimanyu Mithun.
