It is the title decider in the World Championship of Legends 2025. Pakistan Champions, who lost in the final last year, will look to grab one this year as they take on the South Africa Champions. The Pakistan Champions entered the final after the India Champions refused to play the 1st semifinal. The South Africa Champions will feel confident after their thrilling win against the Australia Champions in the 2nd semifinal.
Pakistan Champions have enjoyed a great tournament. They have won all the games they have played and have their batsmen in good form. Their spin bowling attack is strong, which gives them an edge. The South Africans won’t hand over the game on a platter to the Pakistanis and we expect a close contest.

Mohammad Hafeez and his men got a walkover in the 1st Semifinal against the India Champions after the Indians refused to take the field due to the ongoing tensions between the two teams. They are undefeated this season and have played well. However, the South Africans won't be an easy team to beat in this high-stakes battle, and Hafeez expects the best out of his players.
Kamran Akmal is the key batter in the team, and he will look to deliver an electrifying start in this game with Sharjeel Khan. Hafeez must hold the middle order together and build partnerships with Sohaib Maqsood and Asif Ali. In Shoaib Malik and Imad Wasim, the team has good hitters who can take on the South African bowlers in the final overs.
Sohail Tanvir and Sohail Khan must remove the South African openers with the new ball for the team to have a strong chance in this game. Saeed Ajmal looks in good form, and he will look to trouble the batters in the middle overs with Imad Wasim. The team will need a good show in the supporting role from Aamer Yamin, Hafeez, and Wahab Riaz.

AB de Villiers and his men snatched a thrilling 1-run win against the Australia Champions in the 2nd semifinal. The side that has always had to live with the chokers tag held its nerve in the dying moments of the game to snatch a win from the jaws of defeat. They will face a tough challenge against the Pakistanis, and de Villiers must lead from the front to take his team to the title.
AB de Villiers adds an X-factor to the lineup, and he must deliver a good start in this game with JJ Smuts. Morne van Wyk played a match-winning knock in the last game, and he must add runs in the middle order with Saral Erwee and JP Duminy. Henry Davids, Wayne Parnell, and Hardus Viljoen are good hitters and add firepower to this batting lineup.
The bowling attack will be up against a batting lineup that has done well this season. The team expects tight spells from Aaron Phangiso and Imran Tahir with the new ball. Hardus Viljoen and Wayne Parnell will look to do well in the middle overs. Duminy and Duanne Olivier must deliver the goods in the supporting roles.

The skies over Birmingham will have slight cloud cover. The batting conditions are favorable here, as the wicket has true pace and bounce. The ball is coming onto the bat nicely. The average first innings score has been around 173 in the tournament, and the team batting first will look to have 200 runs on board.
Edgbaston, Birmingham, has good pace and bounce, which has always made it a favorite for fast bowlers. The overcast conditions also aid them. However, the surface allows the batters to play on the front foot. The larger ground dimensions allow the spinners to toss the ball up, and they have done well at this venue.
In this tournament, the side batting first has won more games at this venue. It is one of the best surfaces for batters in England, and we have seen sides put up big scores and defend them successfully. The side winning the spin of the coin would opt to bat first in this game.
The South Africa Champions have depended too much on their skipper to win games. They have struggled against spinners and their opponents have an army of spinners. The team must do well with the bat to win the game. The Pakistanis have been flawless this season and have all their bases covered. It will be a close contest, but the Pakistanis start favorites.
