The Australia Champions have been in good form in the ongoing World Championship of Legends (WCL) 2025 tournament. They have had four games gone by and this is their final league stage match. Australia have so far won two matches in the WCL 2025 edition and lost one in their last match against the South Africa Champions while one match against the England Champions was abandoned due to bad weathers.
The previous match against the South Africa Champions was a disappointing game for them. First they conceded 241 runs as AB de Villiers hit a century for the Proteas legends with Peter Siddle the best bowler for them. It was an uphill task to chase the target and rightly so they lost the match. However, they were all-out for 146 runs with Ben Cutting the top scorer with 59 runs.
As for the Pakistan Champions, they are the only undefeated team in the ongoing World Championship of Legends (WCL) 2025 season. They have played 4 matches this season and have won 3 matches with the other match against their arch-rivals India Champions was called-off due to Indian players pulling out of the match due to fan backlash.
They are coming into this match on the back of a 49 runs victory over the West Indies Champions in their previous match. They scored 200 runs while batting first for the loss of 4 wickets. Wicketkeeper batter Kamran Akmal scored a century for the Pakistan team while the other batters around him were decent.
They then stopped the West Indies Champions power-hitters for 151 runs for the loss of 7 wickets in 20 overs. Sohail Tanvir picked 2 each with Aamer Yamin but the real deal was impact player Rumman Raees, who took 3 wickets getting the rid of Chris Gayle, Lendl Simmons and Dwayne Smith.
Grace Road in Leicester has a great pitch that keeps things interesting in T20 cricket. It’s got a mix of pace and bounce, meaning the ball’s likely to move early on, leading to some fast-paced, competitive action on the field. As the game progresses, batting is likely to become easier, especially once the floodlights start shining. The pitch should grip less soon, making it more comfortable for batsmen to play their shots. Plus, smaller boundary sizes mean both teams get more scoring opportunities at every point in the game.
The Australia Champions and the Pakistan Champions have previously played only one head-to-head match against each during the World Championship of Legends (WCL) 2024 season. And it was the Pakistan Champions who were victorious. They restricted Australia for 189 runs in 20 overs with Shoaib Malik and Shahid Afridi taking 2 wickets each while Aaron Finch was the top scorer with 68 runs. Pakistan chased down the target with 2 balls remaining and won the match by 5 wickets. Younis Khan and Misbah-ul-Haq were the top scorers with 63 and 46 runs respectively from both batters.
