Pakistan Champions will be aiming for their first-ever World Championship of Legends (WCL) title when they take on South Africa Champions in the final on August 2 at Edgbaston in Birmingham. Pakistan had played in the final last year but were beaten by India.
However, things were different as far as the Indian Champions are concerned in WCL 2025. The defending champions won just one game in the league stage and withdrew against Pakistan twice, including the semifinal, thus helping the Men in Green get a walkover to the final.
The decision of Indian players not playing against Pakistan came after the Pahalgam attack that killed 26 innocent lives on April 22. Shikhar Dhawan and Suresh Raina were the Indian players who came out in public and expressed their views.
Meanwhile, Pakistan and South Africa have been the two unbeaten sides in the tournament. South African captain AB de Villiers has been in prolific form with two hundreds in the competition. The Proteas made their way into the summit clash with an one-run win over Australia Champions in the other semifinal.
