The 2025 World Championship of Legends (WCL) final saw Pakistan bat first against South Africa. South Africa, led by AB de Villiers, secured the WCL 2025 title by defeating Pakistan. Following the final, Pakistani fans expressed disappointment over the loss. Subsequently, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) announced its withdrawal from future editions of the World Championship of Legends, citing biased conduct as the reason. This decision came amid a boycott saga involving India.
