South Africa won the toss and opted to bowl first against Australia in the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2025 final at Lord’s Cricket Ground on Wednesday (today).
It’s worth noting that this marks the maiden appearance for South Africa in a WTC Final, after topping the points table with an impressive 69.44% points percentage, a campaign that saw them win 8 out of 12 Tests.
Meanwhile, Australia are standing on the brink of history, poised to become the first team ever to successfully defend their title in the ICC World Test Championship (WTC).
They defeated India in a thrilling final during the last WTC cycle at The Oval back in 2023.
Earlier, in a press conference in London, Australia captain Pat Cummins confirmed that Marnus Labuschagne has been promoted to open alongside Usman Khawaja.
