WTC Final 2025: South Africa claimed a historic five-wicket victory over Australia at Lord’s to win the 2025 ICC World Test Championship (WTC) Final, shedding their long-standing ‘chokers’ tag. Chasing 282, the Proteas delivered a composed performance, anchored by Aiden Markram’s unbeaten 102* and captain Temba Bavuma’s 65*, reaching 213/2 by the end of Day 3 and completing the win on Day 4.
Earlier, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood’s 59-run partnership helped Australia set a competitive target, but South Africa responded with discipline and resilience. Wiaan Mulder highlighted a fearless mindset and praised the match-winning efforts of Markram and Bavuma, calling it a “super session” for South African cricket.
