AB de Villiers and his team got off to a winning start to their WCL 2025 campaign with this victory. South Africa Champions were able to hit the stumps twice in the bowl-out while West Indies Champions missed in all their attempts.
South Africa Champions defeated the West Indies Champions in a bowl-out after their rain-hit WCL 2025 match ended in a tie, at Edgbaston on July 19. The contest was reduced to 11 overs per side due to rain in Birmingham and the West Indies Champions, batting first, had scored 79/5. The target for South Africa Champions was revised to 81 instead of 80 and AB de Villiers and his team were restricted to 80/6 in their 11 overs in what turned out to be a thriller. In the bowl-out, South Africa Champions had the first attempt. Aaron Phangiso, Chris Morris and Hardus Viljoen missed the stumps while JJ Smuts and Wayne Parnell were able to hit the woodwork. The Chris Gayle-led West Indies Champions, however, could not hit the stumps in the bowl-out with all the players--Fidel Edwards, Sheldon Cottrell, Ashley Nurse and Dwayne Bravo missing.
