Kamran Akmal’s Century Powers Pakistan Champions to Dominant Win Over West Indies in WCL 2025

Kamran Akmal Rolls Back the Years with Stunning Century

In a spectacular display of power hitting, Kamran Akmal delivered a match-winning century to guide Pakistan Champions to a decisive 49-run victory over West Indies Champions at Headingley in the World Championship of Legends (WCL) 2025.

Opening the innings, Akmal scored a blistering 113 off just 62 deliveries, featuring 13 fours and 5 sixes. His commanding performance anchored Pakistan’s innings and set the stage for a formidable total.

Pakistan Champions Post 200 on the Board

Thanks to a 65-run opening stand between Akmal and Sharjeel Khan (21 off 14), Pakistan laid a strong foundation. Middle-order contributions from Sohaib Maqsood (17) and Mohammad Hafeez (23 off 18) helped maintain momentum.

Asif Ali chipped in with a run-a-ball 10, helping the team reach a solid 200-4 in 20 overs.

West Indies Falter in Chase

In reply, West Indies Champions struggled to match the pace of the game. Despite a fighting 42 from Chadwick Walton, and 30-run efforts by William Perkins and Dwayne Bravo, the side was restricted to 151-7.

Ashley Nurse’s 25-run cameo added brief hope, but the required run rate remained out of reach throughout.

Rumman Raees Leads with the Ball

Rumman Raees was the standout with the ball, dismantling the Windies’ top order with remarkable figures of 3 for 4 in 3 overs. Aamer Yamin and Sohail Tanvir picked up two wickets each to keep the opposition in check.

Pakistan Champions Top the WCL Table

With this dominant win, Pakistan Champions now lead the WCL 2025 points table with 7 points from four matches. Their consistent form places them as clear title contenders.

Meanwhile, West Indies Champions remain at two points, with plenty of work ahead to revive their campaign.
