BIRMINGHAM, England — Pakistan Champions and South Africa Champions are set to face off in the final of the World Championship of Legends (WCL) 2025 at Edgbaston Stadium on Saturday, August 2, at 9 PM IST.

Pakistan’s squad includes notable players such as Sharjeel Khan, Kamran Akmal, and Fawad Alam, led by captain Shoaib Malik. Their impressive performance in earlier matches has made them a formidable opponent.
