South Africa Champions outclassed India Champions by 88 runs (DLS) in Match 6 of the 2025 World Champions League (WCL) at the County Ground, Northampton. After being sent in to bat, the South Africans piled on 208/6 in 20 overs, with AB de Villiers smashing a sublime 63 off 30 balls. JJ Smuts contributed a quick 30 off 17, while Jacques Rudolph also played his part with 24 off 20. Yusuf Pathan (2/26) and Piyush Chawla (2/31) tried their best but the Proteas scored a daunting total.

The India Champions' run chase never really got going, crumbling under pressure as they managed just 111/9 in 18.2 overs before the match had to be ended prematurely due to a floodlight failure. Stuart Binny was the top scorer with a labored 37 off 39 balls, while Suresh Raina (16) and Vinay Kumar (13) offered little resistance. Aaron Phangiso (3/17) was the pick of the bowlers, while Imran Tahir (2/24) and Wayne Parnell (2/0) ensured India never got into the game.

With the victory, the South Africa Champions moved to a perfect unbeaten record and found themselves at the top of the points table with +4.345 NRR. India Champions slipped to bottom of the points table with net run rate of -4.345.
