South Africa Champions secured the WCL 2025 title in stunning fashion, defeating Pakistan Champions by 9 wickets in the final match held in Birmingham. The star of the night was none other than AB de Villiers, whose explosive century made the chase look effortless.

South Africa Crowned Champions

In a high-stakes final of the World Championship of Legends 2025, South Africa dominated with both bat and ball. Chasing a moderate target set by Pakistan, their experienced batting lineup barely broke a sweat. AB de Villiers played a vintage knock, thrilling the crowd with boundaries all around the park.

His century came in quick time, and he remained unbeaten as South Africa chased down the total with more than 5 overs to spare. It was a display of experience, composure, and raw talent that reminded fans why de Villiers is still regarded as one of the greats.

Pakistan’s Journey to the Final

Pakistan Champions entered the final after finishing at the top of the group stage standings. They were slated to face arch-rivals India Champions in the semi-finals. However, due to ongoing political tensions following the Pahalgam terror attack, the Indian team, led by Yuvraj Singh, chose not to participate in the knockout match.

As a result, Pakistan advanced to the final by default. While they looked strong on paper, the South African side proved to be too good on the day of the final.
