India–Pakistan Legends Semi-final Called Off

The World Championship of Legends (WCL) 2025 semi-final between India and Pakistan, originally scheduled to take place in Birmingham, has been formally canceled. Pakistan will now go straight to the final.

<h2>What Led to the Cancellation?</h2>

<h3>Indian Players Boycott</h3>

Shikhar Dhawan, Harbhajan Singh, Yusuf Pathan, Irfan Pathan, and Suresh Raina are among the famous former Indian players who officially declined to play against Pakistan, citing geopolitical reactions increased by the Pahalgam terror attack and following military standoff in April.

In a formal statement on May 11, Dhawan declared that &quot;nothing is bigger than the country&quot; and that he would &quot;stand by the decision.&quot;

The entire Indian Legends team, led by Yuvraj Singh, supported the boycott and declined to play in the semi-final as well as a previous group-stage match.

<h3>Sponsor &amp; Organiser Reaction</h3>

EaseMyTrip, a key sponsor of the tournament, declared its support for Team India and formally withdrew its support for any match involving Pakistan.

The WCL organizers responded by apologizing in public, saying that while their original objective was to promote goodwill among fans, they may have &quot;hurt the feelings of many&quot; and &quot;unintentionally caused discomfort&quot; to Indian legends. Thus, the game was canceled.

<h3>Disputed Accountability</h3>

Pakistan Champions reportedly rejected any points-sharing arrangement when India withdrew, claiming the cancellation happened because India backed out and not the other way around. The Indian team claims they were not at fault.

<h2>Who Will Win the 5th Test Match?</h2>

England is a small favorite to win the series or tie it. India has demonstrated strength and flexibility; an upset could occur if their top order clicks and spinners take advantage of the middle days. My prediction is that England will hold out for the draw and end up with a 3-1 series record.

<h2>ENG vs IND Pitch Report &ndash; The Oval</h2>

<ul>
	<li style="list-style-type:disc">Balanced, batting-friendly track early on: The Oval is perfect for openers and strokeplay since it typically provides even bounce and pace in the first two innings.</li>
	<li style="list-style-type:disc">First, pace advantage: Seamers benefit from help during the Test&#39;s fresh phase, particularly in cloudy or muggy weather.</li>
	<li style="list-style-type:disc">The use of spin occurs later (Days 3&ndash;5): Particularly in the third and fourth innings, spinners can become more effective as wear and tear develops&mdash;cracks, dry patches, etc.</li>
	<li style="list-style-type:disc">Match patterns and scoring: Some teams score more than 350 runs, although first-inning totals typically hover around 345. More victories from the first innings at the Oval show that batting first frequently gives an advantage.</li>

This is the first series played under the World Test Championship (WTC) 2025-27 edition.&nbsp;

<h2>Teams India Leave For England&nbsp;</h2>

After a press conference on Thursday(5 June 2025) between head coach Gautam Gambhir and Shubman Gill, the team departed for England. Pictures of the players who traveled were made public by the BCCI. Jasprit Bumrah and Rishabh Pant were spotted traveling, while Sai Sudharsan, who was just called up, also left with the side.&nbsp;

Mohammed Siraj, Arshdeep Singh, Ravindra Jadeja, and others were also apprehended as they were departing on the trip. Kuldeep Yadav also flew with the squad shortly after his engagement, though this was not confirmed.

Other players, including Abhimanyu Easwaran and Akash Deep, are now in England for the India A trip. Currently, the India A team also includes Nitish Reddy, Karun Nair, and Yashasvi Jaiswal. In addition, Nair produced an incredible double hundred against the England Lions in the inaugural unofficial Test match.

Millions of fans have the opportunity to create virtual teams and win actual money on Dream11, the most popular fantasy cricket website in India. Mega events draw large prize pools, but because of the intense competition, it can be challenging to place first. Here is where players have a better chance of winning, especially if they use the proper methods, in Dream11&#39;s little contests.

We&#39;ll go over what small contests are, why they have better odds of winning, how to choose the best contests, and the best Dream11 small league tips for 2025 in this in-depth manual, which offers the best <a href="https://grand11.in/cricket-prediction" style="text-decoration:none">fantasy prediction for free</a> for small contests.

<h2>What Are Small Contests in Dream11?</h2>

Small contests, often known as small leagues, are fantasy cricket matches with a small player base, typically between two and one hundred players. It is easier to get top rankings in tiny tournaments because there are fewer competitors than in giant leagues with thousands or lakhs of players.

Small contest types include:

<ul>
	<li style="list-style-type:disc">Head-to-Head (H2H) contests are one-on-one contests in which the victor wins.</li>
	<li style="list-style-type:disc">Leagues with three to ten members are small-scale contests with a limited number of participants.</li>
	<li style="list-style-type:disc">Small leagues with a single entry. Stop contests from being overrun by players with multiple entries.</li>
</ul>

&nbsp;

For both novice and seasoned gamers seeking steady, risk-free profits, these competitions are perfect.

<h2>Why Dream11&#39;s Small Contests Have a Better Chance of Winning</h2>

For the simple reason that there is a high <a href="https://grand11.in/cricket-breaking-news/boost-your-dream11-team-probability-with-these-pro-tips-/2340" style="text-decoration:none">Dream11 winning probability</a>, many fantasy players prefer smaller contests. This is the reason:

<ul>
	<li style="list-style-type:disc">Limited Competition: Your chances are increased because you are fighting against a smaller number of players rather than thousands.</li>
	<li style="list-style-type:disc">Competencies Predominate Luck: Unpredictable players have the potential to steal the spotlight in major competitions. Good research and well-informed choices are rewarded in small leagues.</li>
	<li style="list-style-type:disc">Less Risky Picks Required: Safe picks can guarantee top spots; you don&#39;t need several &quot;differential players&quot; to win.</li>
	<li style="list-style-type:disc">Consistent Earnings: Unlike high-risk grand leagues, even modest successes add up over time to provide consistent income.</li>
</ul>

Small battles are still the greatest option in 2025 for players hoping to win regularly and with accuracy on Dream11.

&nbsp;

<h2>How You Pick the Right Fantasy Small Contests?</h2>

<ul>
	<li style="list-style-type:disc">Check the prize pool and entry fee: Choose contests with a balanced risk-to-reward ratio. Low-risk play is best suited for small-entry contests with a respectable prize fund.</li>
	<li style="list-style-type:disc">Preference Leagues with Single Entry: Avoid multi-entry leagues, where top performers might play for more than one team, which would lower your odds.</li>
	<li style="list-style-type:disc">Look out for leagues with at least 3 members: Content with 3 or fewer than 3, like Head-to-Head, has make higher chance of winning because there are fewer opponents, which gives the highest winning probability.</li>
	<li style="list-style-type:disc">Avoid clear of crowded, limited leagues: For the best chance of winning, focus on teams with fewer than ten players; certain contests allow teams of up to 100.</li>
</ul>

<h2>Best Tips To Maximize Your Fantasy Points In Small Content</h2>

<img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfdR-OVp-lJ6mODITW4W_xaXjk9FZCaYn6t-CNBXzBT4NVdKinIuX6oX4cIc4Ta0xltoJEEUjtkCAhucO2fcDk33h0JWHpRK3nVb37XzyWXHOFiFwnoQz2zZ6Sdgp9s0Wug2kn9?key=UzKzgm9fNS1G860kh-VqtQ" style="height:401px; width:602px" />

&nbsp;

<h3>Pick Consistent Performers Over Risky Players:&nbsp;</h3>

Safe and reliable players are the basis of a successful squad in small contests. Small leagues promote consistency, as opposed to blockbuster matches where large differentials are required.&nbsp;

For example, Virat Kohli, who frequently gets 40+ runs in Twenty20 Internationals, is a better choice than a new hitter with no track record. You won&#39;t lose points for making risky choices if you&#39;re a steady player.

Fantasy Tip: Avoid risky differentials and instead focus on a safe pick with a high chance of scoring in small leagues.

<h3>Choose the Right Captain and Vice-Captain (C &amp; VC):</h3>

Between 70 and 80 percent of your team&#39;s final score is determined by your C and VC choices. Here, safe, powerful players are essential. For instance: Jos Buttler, captain (opener, high strike rate, frequently scores 60+). Hardik Pandya, an all-rounder who contributes with both the bat and the ball, is the vice-captain.

Even if one position (bowling or batting) is unsuccessful, this combination still maximizes points.

Fantasy Tip: For consistency, choose top-order batsmen or in-form all-rounders to be captain and vice-captain.

<h3>Analyze Pitch and Weather Conditions:</h3>

Which players perform well depends on the weather and pitch. Batsmen are favored by flat pitches. Spinners are favored by spinning tracks. Swing bowlers are favored on cloudy or green surfaces.&nbsp;

For example, choosing Ravindra Jadeja and Rashid Khan improves your chances of getting wickets on Chennai&#39;s spin-friendly ground.

Fantasy Tips: Pick players according to the pitch and weather report.&nbsp;

<h3>Focus on Top-Order Batsmen and Death Bowlers:</h3>

More balls are faced by <a href="https://grand11.in/cricket-breaking-news/fantasy-cricket-top-order-batsmen-strategy-guide/2385" style="text-decoration:none">top-order batsmen</a>, increasing your scoring opportunities. Death bowlers increase the number of opportunities to take wickets by bowling toward the end.

For example, Top-order: KL Rahul, who opens and frequently faces more than 40 balls. Jasprit Bumrah is a death bowler who takes wickets in the 18th and 20th overs.

Fantasy Tip: Top/middle-order batters and death-over bowlers are preferred because they have a higher chance of making an impact.

<h3>Avoid Overloading from One Team:</h3>

In small contests, balance is important. Having five or six players from a team that fails can destroy your point total.

For example, in an IND vs. SA match, divide 5&ndash;6 Indian players across the two teams rather than 7 to guarantee points for both.

Fantasy Tip: To reduce your dependence on one team&#39;s performance, keep your team balanced (5&ndash;6 players from the better side, 4-5 from the other).

<h3>Use Budget Picks Smartly:</h3>

You can choose the best players at lower prices without going over your Dream11 credit limit. Select players with a set role (opener, 4 overs guaranteed) and minimal credit.

For example, Opening batsman Rahmanullah Gurbaz, who has little credit, is superior to an unknown lower-order batsman, giving ace bowlers more credit.

<h2>Avoid These Mistakes in Dream11&#39;s Small Contests</h2>

<h3>Blindly Copying Mega League Teams:</h3>

Many players believe that squad combinations made for major competitions will also succeed in smaller leagues, thus they duplicate them. In order to battle for top spots, mega leagues frequently use high-risk individuals, which is not the best option for safer, small-league play.

For example, A dangerous middle-order batsman and an uncapped bowler are on the Mega League club, which is hoping for surprising points. The result of the small league is that both players fail, but your opponent beats your squad by selecting dependable players like Rohit Sharma and Bumrah.

<h3>Ignoring Toss and Pitch Updates:</h3>

Your chances of winning can be lost if you choose your Dream11 team well in advance of the game and don&#39;t make any last-minute adjustments.

For example, assuming a turning pitch, you select three spinners. Rain is predicted at toss, which changes the weather and increases the efficacy of pacers. You are left behind when your opponent changes from a quick bowler who takes three wickets in the final over to a spinner.

<h3>Forgetting to Update Teams Before the Deadline:</h3>

Many players make their teams ready to play and neglect to check for last-minute alterations to the playing XI, player rest, or injury.

For example, assuming a player is in the starting lineup, you choose him. You find out he&#39;s benched at the beginning of the game. You lose the game since your team only has ten players playing while others have eleven.

<h3>Choosing Big Names Over In-Form Players:</h3>

Selecting players only based on their reputation rather than their current performance frequently produces subpar outcomes.

For example, you pick Virat Kohli over an in-form hitter like Ruturaj Gaikwad in a series in which he hasn&#39;t scored in the previous five games. There is an important gap in the number of points when Ruturaj hits 70 runs and Kohli is out early.

ECB Finalises Franchise Deals for Six The Hundred Teams

Jasprit Bumrah has been rested from the fifth Test match against England at the Oval due to back problem. Akash Deep has been included in the Indian team in his place. This decision has been taken by the medical team of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) keeping in mind Bumrah&#39;s fitness.

Media reports have claimed that in view of the chance to level the series, it was first decided to play Bumrah in the last Test, but the medical team decided to rest him considering his fitness.

The fifth and final Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy between India and England will be played at the Oval from July 31. India is trailing 1-2 in the series and wants to level the series by winning the Oval Test. But world number-1 bowler Jasprit Bumrah will not be played in this match to avoid back injury. In his place, Akashdeep, who has recovered from injury, will join the team.

<h2>Bumrah will play only 3 matches</h2>

Even before the series started, the BCCI medical team, Bumrah, the Indian team management and the selectors had decided that he would play only three of the five Tests on the England tour. Bumrah played the first Test at Headingley, did not play the second Test at Edgbaston (which India won), and then played the last two Tests at Lord&#39;s and Old Trafford.

<h2>Why was this decision taken?</h2>

It was earlier decided to change the plan and play him in the last Test as well. Especially when there is a chance to level the series 2-2. But due to the slow and flat pitch of the Oval, as well as Bumrah&#39;s heavy workload in the previous Test, it was decided to give him rest.

Bumrah bowled 33 overs at Old Trafford, the most in a single innings in his career and for the first time more than 100 runs were scored off his balls.

His speed was also affected during the series. At Headingley, 42.7% of his balls were above 140 kmph, which dropped to 22.3% at Lord&#39;s and only 0.5% at Old Trafford.

In Australia, Bumrah tried to bowl too much, which aggravated his back injury. Given the flat pitch of the Oval and workload management, the BCCI decided not to take the risk.

<h3>Bumrah&#39;s performance</h3>

Bumrah is the second most successful bowler in this series with 14 wickets jointly with Mohammed Siraj.

<h3>Akashdeep&#39;s return and Arshdeep Singh can make debut</h3>

Akashdeep: Could not play in the fourth Test due to injury, but now he is fully fit. He took 10 wickets in the Edgbaston Test and proved to be a hero for India. He will replace Bumrah.

Arshdeep Singh: He has also recovered from injury and is likely to get a Test cap in this match. He will replace Anshul Kamboj.

Rishabh Pant, India&#39;s vice-captain and wicketkeeper-batter, will miss the pivotal Fifth Test match against England because of a fractured right foot he suffered on the <a href="https://grand11.in/cricket-breaking-news/eng-v-ind-2025-4th-test-day-1-yash-and-sais-shine-india-2644/2432" style="text-decoration:none">first day of the Fourth Test at Old Trafford in Manchester</a>.

<h2>How Did It Happen?</h2>

On Day 1, Pant was fielding when his right boot was struck by a reverse sweep from Chris Woakes, resulting in instantaneous swelling and blood loss. He was carried off the field in a golf cart after retiring on 37, clearly in discomfort. Later scans revealed a metatarsal (toe) fracture, necessitating a six-week recuperation period.

<h3>What It Means for The Oval Test</h3>

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced Narayan Jagadeesan as Pant&#39;s replacement for the <a href="https://grand11.in/cricket-breaking-news/eng-vs-ind-5th-test-match-2025-dream11-prediction/2445" style="text-decoration:none">ENG v IND 2025 Fifth Test</a>, which will start at The Oval on July 31, 2025. Dhruv Jurel, meanwhile, has assumed wicketkeeping responsibilities for the remaining Manchester Test and could fill in behind the wickets in London.

Given his incredible series total of over 479 runs, which included twin hundreds at Headingley and three half-centuries, Pant&#39;s absence creates a significant void in India&#39;s lineup both in wicketkeeping and middle-order batting.&nbsp;

Jamie Overton has been added to England&#39;s 15-man roster for the <a href="https://grand11.in/cricket-breaking-news/eng-vs-ind-5th-test-match-2025-dream11-prediction/2445" style="text-decoration:none">fifth and final Test match against India</a>, which is set to start at The Oval on July 31, 2025. He has been called up to the Test team twice since making his only debut at Headingley in June 2022, when he scored an impressive 97 and took wickets in both innings.

<h2>Why Overton Now?</h2>

After four demanding Test matches in only seven weeks, which left England&#39;s bowling attack exhausted, the decision was made. Before the final, captain Ben Stokes emphasized the need for &quot;fresh legs.&quot;&nbsp;After Chris Woakes, Jofra Archer, and Brydon Carse put in a lot of work throughout the series, Overton is viewed as a welcome addition.

<h3>Career &amp; Fitness Overview</h3>

Overton, a 31-year-old fast bowling all-rounder who plays county cricket for Surrey, most recently played for the Chennai Super Kings in the 2025 Indian Premier League.

After breaking his little finger during India&#39;s recent ODI tour of the West Indies in late May, England&#39;s medical staff have been reviewing him daily and have given him the all-clear to play.

<h3>England Lead By 2-1 In This 5-Match Test Series, Final Test On 31 July</h3>

With England leading the series 2-1 heading into the final Test, Overton&#39;s decision offers both tactical versatility and a new lease of life. He has the opportunity to impress himself on the big stage again after making a strong debut in 2022, this time in an important match at The Oval.

On 26 July, the <a href="https://grand11.in/cricket-breaking-news/zim-tri-series-zimbabwe-hosts-sa-and-nz-for-tri-series-starts-july-14/2373" style="text-decoration:none">Zimbabwe T20 Tri-Series 2025</a> final was played between New Zealand and South Africa in Harare. New Zealand beat South Africa by just 3 runs and won the Zimbabwe tri-series title.

<h2>Match Summary</h2>

<h3>Comway and Ravindra&#39;s massive innings, New Zealand scored 180</h3>

South Africa chose to field first after winning the toss, and New Zealand amassed a respectable total. With 47 runs apiece, Devon Conway and Rachin Ravindra were the innings&#39; mainstays during the pivotal middle overs. Santner, Daryl Mitchell, Bracewell, and others kept the pressure on as the Black Caps finished on 180/5.

<h3>Lhuan&#39;s half century of 51, but Matt bowling in the last over, SA just short by 3 runs</h3>

South Africa got off to a great start in their search for 181. SA was within striking distance when Lhuan-dre Pretorius scored 51 off 35 balls and Reeza Hendricks provided support with 37. Victory was imminent with seven wickets needed off the last over and six wickets in hand.

However, Matt Henry, a seamer from New Zealand, gave his team the narrowest of victories with an incredible final over in which he gave up only three runs and claimed crucial wickets. With figures of 2/19 in three overs, his spell came to an end.

South Africa&#39;s death was sealed by outstanding fielding, particularly Michael Bracewell&#39;s juggling boundary-line catch to dismiss Dewald Brevis and Daryl Mitchell&#39;s incredible diving effort to remove George Linde.

<h2>New Zealand 5-0: New Zealand Showing Consistency And Depth</h2>

New Zealand displayed depth and consistency by going undefeated in all five of the series&#39; games. Their perfect campaign allowed them to claim the title.

India kept going, batting through five sessions for their 425/4, guaranteeing that the last match at The Oval would be the series decider.&nbsp;Courage under extreme stress was shown by Shubman Gill, who led the rescue with a cool 103, his fourth century of the series. Excellent support was provided by KL Rahul, who scored a crucial 90 before being removed by Ben Stokes, the injured captain of England.

Ravindra Jadeja (107)* and Washington Sundar (101)* made an undefeated partnership of more than 200 runs, underscoring Jadeja&#39;s significant contribution as a bowler and hitter.

Ben Stokes (141), who became the first England captain to make a Test century and take a five-for in the same game, and Joe Root (150) both contributed hundreds to England&#39;s massive 669 in the first innings.

<h2>Decider Match: India Needs To Win the Last Test Match to Draw the Series</h2>
