World Championship of Legends 2025 Standings: With the World Championship of Legends (WCL) moving to its business end, the race for the semifinal spot intensifies as three out of the four berths have been confirmed with just two more league games remaining.
Leading the charts are South Africa Champions, led by AB de Villiers, who have won four out of their five league matches. Their only loss came against Pakistan Champions, who sit second with three wins in their four games. South Africa Champions have eight points while Pakistan Champions have seven as their league game against India was called off and ended in a no result.
Earlier, the India Champions vs Pakistan Champions match was cancelled by the organisers after several India Champions stars called for a boycott of their opening contest in the tournament. Former India opener Shikhar Dhawan announced his decision not to feature in the match in Birmingham late on Saturday through social media, owing to the geopolitical conflicts that have arisen post the Pahalgam terror attacks in April this year.
The Yuvraj Singh-led India Champions are having a horrendous tournament, with the side reeling at the bottom of the WCL points table with three losses in four games, with the solitary point coming in from the no-result game against Pakistan.
India lost their match against South Africa by 88 runs in a rain-curtailed match by the DRS method. Then they went on to lose by four wickets against Australia Champions before being handed a 23-run loss by England Champions.
Australia Champions, with two wins and one no-result game, have also advanced to the knockout stages of WCL 2025.
The Men in Blue can still qualify for the semifinal if they beat the West Indies Champions by a huge margin in their last league game. Australia will take on Pakistan in the other league match.
