IML 2025 Final Live: India Masters vs West Indies Masters – Tendulkar vs Lara Clash to Decide Title

IML 2025 Final Live: In Raipur, on Sunday, the final match of the International Masters League 2025 will pit the India Masters team, captained by Sachin Tendulkar, against the West Indies Masters, led by none other than Brian Lara. While India ensured victory over Australia by 94 runs in the first semi-final, a nail-biting thriller saw the West Indies score only six runs more than Sri Lanka in the second semi-final.

In group-stage competition, India Masters had won a high-scoring encounter in the same venue. Batting first, India, led by fifties from openers Saurabh Tiwary and Ambati Rayudu, scored a gigantic-looking score of 253/3 in 20 overs. Chasing a mountain of a target, West Indies deposited 156 runs in the first 10 overs as Dwayne Smith hit Rahul Sharma for five maximums and a four to score 34 runs from that one over. India made a strong comeback right at the end; a 7-run victory was one for the books.
