The commentators call it "a virtual quarter-final, a virtual knockout match." India Champions then find themselves in trouble before putting a run on the board.

Sports TV's broadcast of India Champions against West Indies Champions at Sharjah has drawn more than 200,000 views in eight hours, an unusually large early audience for the channel's long broadcasts. The match brings Yuvraj Singh and Chris Gayle together as opposing captains, with qualification at stake.

Gayle chooses to field, and Fidel Edwards makes that decision count almost immediately. Naman Ojha edges his second delivery to wicketkeeper Chadwick Walton. On the next ball, Ambati Rayudu attempts a single, only for Sheldon Cottrell's direct hit to run him out. Stuart Binny arrives to join Robin Uthappa with both dismissed batters having left without scoring.

The channel has another fast-starting cricket upload alongside it: highlights of Pakistan against Sri Lanka's third T20I are also drawing far more views than its regular videos usually receive.

For those who want the legends match in a shorter form, Sports TV has posted a highlights package, West Indies wickets, the post-match ceremony and a post-match show. The full broadcast carries the toss, anthems and team photograph before Edwards begins that abrupt opening spell.
