I believe a Challenger 2 with Gen 2 Chobham armour could.
Generally speaking, the advanced armor on the latest-generation NATO tanks can withstand a sabot round at all but point-blank range from ANY current cannon (including shots from other advanced NATO tanks).
The caveat is that not all portions of the tank are equally protected, and a sabot's effectiveness is affected by the range from the target tank, the exact part of the tank hit, and any ERA (Explosive Reactive Armor) bolted to the outside of the tank.
Most current-generation tanks from all sources (NATO, Russian, or other) should theoretically be able to withstand a sabot round from any opponent at long ranges (1km+) provided the sabot hit the most heavily protected portion of the tank. Few can withstand even a long-range hit on their less-protected portions, though.
