IAC vs SAC Both Teams’ Last 5 Matches Record
India Champions have not played a single match in World Championship of Legends 2025 so far. Their first match was against Pakistan Champions, but due to geopolitical tensions many Indian legends refused to play in this match. Due to this the match was cancelled. Players like Shikhar Dhawan, Yuvraj Singh, Raina, Harbhajan and Irfan Pathan made their stance clear that they will not play against Pakistan, which also affected the tournament.
But if the overall squad strength is seen, then India Champions is a strong and balanced team. In early 2025, they won the International Masters League T20, defeating West Indies Masters in the final. Players like Ambati Rayudu, Vinay Kumar, Nadeem gave impactful performances in this tournament. The team has a tremendous combo of experience and form, and this squad has the power to defeat any team. Although their WCL 2025 campaign has not officially started yet, they have both talent and winning momentum.
South Africa Champions started their World Championship of Legends 2025 campaign with a tremendous thriller match. Their match against the West Indies Champions was rain-affected and lasted only 11 overs but even in that they showed their mettle under pressure. The match was tied but South Africa won in the bowl-out and started their campaign with 2 points.
The team's form overall has been quite impressive. JP Duminy kept the team in the match by scoring 25* runs in 12 balls while Sarel Erwee also played a valuable innings of 27 runs. With the ball, Aaron Phangiso and Hardus Viljoen bowled tight and the balance of the spinners and pacers was quite good. Captain AB de Villiers has a squad that can perform even in rain-shortened games or high-pressure matches. They are currently top of the points table and their momentum could come in handy in the match against India.
The pitch of County Ground Northampton is batting-friendly. In T20 matches, scores of 170-180 are often made here. The ball bounces well and comes fast on the bat, so batsmen take shots easily. But if the bowler keeps the line and length correct, especially fast bowlers, then they can get wickets. Spinners can also play if the variations are good. After winning the toss, most teams prefer to bat first because if they score above 180 then the other team comes under pressure.
Till now only 1 match has been played between India Champions and South Africa Champions. That match was the 7th game of International Masters League T20 in 2025 which was played at BCA Stadium, Vadodara. In that match India Champions defeated South Africa Champions by 8 wickets. South Africa had a good start but the whole team was all out for just 85 runs. Henry Davids scored 38 runs and Dane Vilas scored 21, no one else could hold on. Their team was all out from 35/0 to 85, meaning 10 wickets fell in just 50 runs.
India's bowling was quite amazing. Rahul Sharma took 3 wickets giving away just 18 runs in 4 overs. Yuvraj Singh also took 3 wickets in 2 overs. Pawan Negi took 2 wickets in 4 overs and Binny also got 1 wicket.
While chasing, India Champions finished the match in 11 overs losing just 2 wickets. Ambati Rayudu made 41 not out and Pawan Negi finished the match by scoring 21 runs. Tendulkar got out early on just 6 runs. Irfan Pathan gave a little support with 13 runs.
This match was completely in the name of India Champions. Their spinners dominated and the batting was also quite solid. South Africa Champions did not get a chance in the entire match.
So in H2H records, India Champions are ahead by 1-0.
