As for the Pakistan Champions, they won their first match against the hosts England Champions. The Pakistan side’s batting looked lackluster until Mohammad Hafeez’s half-century guided the team to 160 runs. And although the England Champions lost only 3 wickets, the good line and length bowling from Pakistani bowlers helped the side to win by 5 runs.

However, their second match against India was cancelled due to the Indian players opting out of the match to backlash from the fans on social media. They faced the South Africa Champions in their 3rd match on Friday, July 25. They won the match by 31 runs.

Headingley, Leeds Pitch Report

The cricket stadium at Headingley in Leeds is known for being a batting hotspot in T20s, with its even pitch and consistent bounce often boosting team totals. On average, teams score around 171 runs in their first innings, and the team batting second often comes out on top. The pitch favors seamers early, especially in overcast conditions, while spinners usually get more turn as the game progresses. Since the pitch favors batting, going after the targets might be the best move for this game.

Pakistan Champions vs West Indies Champions Key Performers

Pakistan Champions Top Batter: Mohammad Hafeez

The Pakistan Champions cricket team will go into this match hoping for a big knock from the former Pakistan captain Mohammad Hafeez, who was the orchestrator behind Pakistan win vs England in the previous match.

Pakistan Champions Top Bowler: Sohail Tanvir 

There are lots of expectations on the shoulder of the veteran Pakistan Champions pacer Sohail Tanvir. He is a tall and quick pacer which can help him extract extra bounce from the surface and he can swing the ball elegantly.

West Indies Champions Top Batter: Lendl Simmonds

The West Indies Champions team is full of big hitting batters and Lendl Simmonds is currently one of them. He hasn't really had a big inning yet but he has already scored 61 runs in the tournament for the Maroon side.

West Indies Champions Top Bowler: Fidel Edwards 

Former West Indies pacer Fidel Edwards has been in brilliant form in the ongoing World Championship of Legends (WCL) 2025. He has taken 6 wickets in 2 matches including a 4-fer vs the England Champions. He has been bowling in great line and length for his side.

PNC vs WIC Today Match Prediction

The Pakistan Champions and the West Indies Champions play an important match as both sides remain in the hunt for a top four finish. The team that wins this match might get just that extra momentum as both sides have been average so far in this tournament.

But the Pakistan Champions will be high on morale following their win in the previous match against the South Africa Champions. It was a much improved performance with bat and ball and that eventually helped them in the match. West Indies Champions meanwhile have a squad full of superstars but they haven't made a big impact yet. So Pakistan Champions is definitely the favourite for the match.
