West Indies Champions lifted the trophy, but who scored the most runs across the tournament?
The World Championship of Legends 2026 completed its third edition with matches held at Sharjah Cricket Stadium and Dubai International Cricket Stadium in the UAE. The league stage ran from October 3 to October 14, before the knockout rounds decided the champion.
West Indies Champions defeated England Champions by nine wickets in the final. England posted 159/7 in 20 overs, and West Indies chased the target in 17 overs, losing only one wicket. Lendl Simmons top-scored in the final with an unbeaten 77 off 53 balls, while Moeen Ali was England's highest scorer with 60 off 39 balls.
3. AB de Villiers (South Africa Champions)
AB de Villiers finished third on the overall run-scoring list in WCL 2026, accumulating 262 runs across five matches at an average of 65.50 and a strike rate of 209.60. The South Africa Champions batter was the standout performer of the league stage, recording the only century of the tournament when he struck 111 runs off just 40 balls against Australia Champions. That innings remains the highest individual score in WCL 2026.
Over the course of the tournament, De Villiers hit 22 sixes and 16 fours, underlining his aggressive approach at the crease. In the semi-final against England, he scored 25 runs before being dismissed by Tymal Mills, with Faf du Plessis also falling to Mills for 25 in quick succession, putting South Africa under pressure.
