South Africa Champions registered their third consecutive win of the 2025 World Champions League (WCL) with a commanding 10-wicket victory over England Champions in Match 8 at Grace Road, Leicester. Having decided to bowl first, South Africa held England to 152/6 in 20 overs through Imran Tahir (2/17), Wayne Parnell (2/36), and Chris Morris (1/32) while keeping the England batters under check despite a 39-run contribution from Phil Mustard.
In reply, the pursuit was a one-sided spectacle with AB de Villiers displaying a batting masterclass to hammer 116* off a mere 51 balls.
