EDC vs SAC: The ongoing World Championship of Legends 2025 moves to the 8th clash, with two strong sides coming up against each other. England Champions will lock horns with South Africa Champions in the upcoming game. This is scheduled to begin at 9 PM IST on July 24 at Grace Road, Leicester. This is a must-win game for England Champions.
They have played three games and have no win on the board. They lost against Pakistan Champions and West Indies Champions, while their one game against Australia was washed out. If they lose here, it will be difficult for them to fight for the next round.
South Africa Champions, on the other hand, have been brilliant. They are at the top of the ladder with two good wins. They are coming off a dominating win over India Champions. A win here will give South Africa a push towards the semi-final.

EDC vs SAC: Pitch Report
Grace Road is not a high-scoring venue, and it tends to offer an even wicket for T20s. The balance between bat and ball is generally good here. Batting first is likely to be a good option because, under light, the ball seems to do a bit more. That is where the chase becomes slightly difficult here.
