The second match of the World Championships of Legends 2025 saw an exciting competition between West Indies Champions and South Africa Champions at Edgbaston Stadium. The match was limited to 11 overs due to rain, and the result came out as an exciting draw, after which a decision was taken out of the ball out, where the team of South Africa Champions won.
South Africa won Bowl-out
At the beginning of the match, the weather wreaked havoc, due to which the entire 20 overs could not be played and the match of 11-11 overs was played. West Indies scored 79 runs while batting first, which was a short score. At the same time, under the Duckworth-Louis Rules, the target of 81 runs was determined. But it was not easy for South Africa to achieve it. In the last overs, both teams performed brilliantly, and South Africa’s team could only score 80 runs after 11 overs and the match was tied.
At present, the super over is used when the match is tied, so that the result of the match can be taken out. But after the match was drawn here, the exciting phase of ball out began, which was seen between India and Pakistan in the 2007 T20 World Cup. The bowlers of both teams showed their accuracy, but the players of South Africa performed better and won. The West Indies missed the target for 4 consecutive times. At the same time, South Africa hit the wicket 2 times and won the match.
AB de Villiers returns flop
This match was very special for AB de Villiers. He returned to the cricket field after a long time. However, he could not do anything special with the bat in this match. AB de Villiers faced just 4 balls and was dismissed by 3 runs. However, he did wonders in the fielding and also caught a great catch.
