India Champions head into their third match of the World Championship of Legends 2026 against South Africa Champions with a mixed record so far.
They began the tournament with a comfortable 46 run victory over Australia Champions, posting 196/7 before bowling the opposition out for 150. However, they suffered a 21-run defeat against England Champions in their second outing, falling short while chasing 193.
Yuvraj Singh has been the standout performer with the bat, scoring 71 runs in his only innings so far vs Australia to top the team’s run charts. Rishi Dhawan (64 runs) and Ambati Rayudu (51 runs) have also contributed usefully, while Yusuf Pathan and Piyush Chawla have chipped in with both bat and ball. Robin Uthappa provided a brisk start in the second match with a quick 31.
With the ball, Dhawal Kulkarni has been exceptional, claiming six wickets in two matches to lead the tournament wicket-takers for the side. Mohit Sharma (3 wickets), Abhimanyu Mithun and Piyush Chawla have provided good support.

South Africa Champions arrive for their clash against India Champions in dominant form, having won both their matches convincingly. They began with a massive 97 run thrashing of West Indies Champions, posting a formidable 242/5, and followed it up with an impressive 8 wicket chase against Australia Champions, hunting down 210 in just 15.4 overs.
AB de Villiers has been in scintillating form, amassing 181 runs in two innings to top the tournament’s run charts by a distance. In the last match, he scored 111* off 40 balls vs Australia Champions.
Richard Levi has been equally destructive with 149 runs, forming a formidable batting at the top. JP Duminy, Sarel Erwee and Faf du Plessis have also made useful contributions when required.
The bowling unit has been well balanced. Imran Tahir leads the wicket-takers with 4 scalps, while Hardus Viljoen and Aaron Phangiso have 3 wickets each. Robbie Frylinck and Marchant de Lange have also chipped in. With an unbeaten run in the tournament and a batting lineup capable of posting or chasing big totals, South Africa Champions will start as favourites.

The pitch is typically dry and slows as the match progresses. Pacers can extract some early movement with the new ball, but spinners become increasingly effective with grip and turn in the middle overs. Short boundaries (around 60–65 metres) reward aggressive batting once players settle.
The captain who win the toss would want to bowl first. The Sharjah Cricket Stadium venue is renowned for aiding the chasing team, especially in evening games with potential of dew.
South Africa Champions are clear favourites. Unbeaten with two dominant wins, they are powered by AB de Villiers’ outstanding 181 runs at a strike rate of 229 and Richard Levi’s 149. India Champions look strong on the bowling front with Dhawal Kulkarni’s six wickets but there is still a lot to be desired with the bat. South Africa on the other hand seems like a much more balanced side. So back South Africa Champions to win.
