Pakistan Champions Preview
Led by Shahid Afridi, the Pakistan Champions have had a more consistent run than the South Africans, remaining unbeaten so far in the tournament. Although their spot in the final came after their match against the India Champions was called off due to diplomatic issues, they’ll be determined to keep their momentum intact. With the trophy just one step away, the team will be eager to achieve what they couldn't in 2024 — win the title.
