AB de Villiers Shines as South Africa Clinches WCL Title
While the lighthearted moment grabbed headlines, the cricketing action was equally thrilling. AB de Villiers, the legendary South African batsman, delivered a masterclass with the bat, scoring an unbeaten 120 off 60 balls. His century powered the South Africa Champions to a dominant 9-wicket win over the Pakistan Champions, helping them secure their maiden World Championship of Legends title.
Earlier, Pakistan Champions skipper Mohammad Hafeez won the toss and chose to bat first. Sharjeel Khan played a blistering knock of 76 runs, guiding his team to a respectable total of 195/5 in 20 overs. However, the target proved insufficient against the aggressive Proteas lineup.
Wayne Parnell and Hardus Viljoen were among the key bowlers for South Africa, picking up two wickets each and keeping the Pakistani batters in check during the innings.
