WTC Final 2025: The ICC World Test Championship Final 2025 at Lord’s is at a thrilling climax on Day 4. South Africa needs just 4 runs to chase a daunting 282, with 5 wickets in hand, poised for their maiden WTC title. This victory could end their 27-year wait for an ICC trophy. The Proteas’ gritty batting on Day 3 has brought them to the brink, but can Australia pull off a late miracle?
Markram and Bavuma’s Heroics
Aiden Markram’s brilliant 102 turned the tide, outsmarting Australia’s bowlers with calm precision. Captain Temba Bavuma, battling a hamstring injury, scored an unbeaten 65. Their 143-run partnership crushed Australia’s hopes. David Bedingham (20*) and Kyle Verreynne (1*) are now at the crease, inching closer to victory.
Australia’s Last Stand
Mitchell Starc struck by dismissing Tristan Stubbs, claiming 3 wickets so far. Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood tried hard, but South Africa’s batters stood firm. Australia’s bowling attack has been blunted, and they now need something extraordinary to defend their title.
A Historic Chase Beckons
Chasing over 250 at Lord’s is a rare feat, achieved only thrice before. South Africa is on the verge of making history as the fourth team to do so. This win would cement their dominance in Test cricket and erase their ‘chokers’ tag.
