It's Pakistan Champions vs South Africa Champions tonight at Edgbaston, Birmingham. Threatened by the cancellation of the India vs Pakistan matches, the World Championship of Legends 2025 will finally conclude with the final after a fortnight of cricketing action featuring legends of the game. Watch the Pakistan vs South Africa cricket match live.
The second edition of the World Championship of Legends started with much fanfare. In the opener, Pakistan beat England by five runs on July 18, 2025.
But, with India scheduled to face Pakistan in the third match, it became too evident even to predict the outcome -- no play, and the IND vs PAK semi-final was also called off as off-field matters had the final say. Neutral fans were denied a reprise of the 2024 final, which the Yuvraj Singh-led India won by five wickets in a final over finish.
The final, however, will be purely a cricketing battle between Shoaib Malik's Pakistan Champions against AB de Villiers' South Africa Champions. Both teams have an ensemble cast, and many in their respective ranks are legit legends. Tonight's T20 showdown is sure to attract sufficient attention.
Benefitting from India's pullout, Pakistan will enter the final undefeated. South Africa Champions, on the contrary, tasted defeat at the hands of Pakistan in the league stage, and their opener against the West Indies was also a tied match, which they eventually won in the bowl-out. In the semi-final, they survived a thriller to beat Australia Champions by one run.
