Grace Road, Leicester WCL Stats and Records

The second game of WCL at Leicester’s Grace Road will be between Pakistan and South Africa Champions in the ongoing tournament. Which is scheduled at 9:00 PM on 25 July 2025. As expected, the venue provides a balanced surface, which provides a close contest among the teams. Previously, the chasing team, South Africa, won the game and crushed the England Champions by 10 wickets. Due to its long boundaries, it is difficult to score runs, especially in the initial overs. As South Africa is already known for the pitch condition, it will favour them in the upcoming game against the Pakistan Champs. 

 Here are the overall details of the Grace Road, Leicester WCL records and stats ahead of the upcoming SA-C vs PNC-C match no. 9 of WCL 2025.
