Australia Champions captain Brett Lee was seen signing autographs following the second semi-final of the World Championship of Legends (WCL) 2025 against South Africa Champions, played at the Edgbaston Cricket Ground on July 31. In the intriguing semi-final, Australia Champions fell one-run short while chasing the target of 187. Dan Christian’s unbeaten 49 off 29 and Peter Siddle’s four-wicket haul went in vain as Australia’s campaign in the tournament ended with this loss. Discussing skipper Lee’s performance in the match, he took 1/24 figures in his three-over spell.
Following the game, Lee was spotted signing jerseys of fans who spectated the match. In attendance, a little India Champions supporter also recorded his presence. The kid was sikh so Lee joined his hands and said, “Hi Bhajji, Sat Sri Akaal.” In return, the fan also replied to the 48-year-old with his joined hands. In the T20 tournament featuring legends, Australia Champions got eliminated after their defeat against the Proteas but the most successful bowler in the competition is the Aussie side’s Peter Siddle, who took 11 wickets in six wickets at an economy of 7.10.
South Africa Champions to take on Pakistan Champions in the WCL 2025 final
In the final, South Africa Champions will square off against Pakistan Champions at the Edgbaston Cricket Ground. In the round-robin stage, Pakistan topped the table with four wins in five matches while the Protea side finished in second spot with four victories and a loss in five outings.
With India Champions boycotting the semi-final against Pakistan Champions, the latter side advanced to the decider. It will be Pakistan’s second final appearance as the Green Army also qualified for the WCL 2024 final as well. However, they couldn’t lift the trophy then as India Champions held their nerves and clinched a five-wicket win.
