South Africa Wins the World Test Championship, Its First Major Cricket Title in 27 Years

  • At the close of play on the third day at Lord’s, South Africa stood at 213-2 in their second innings of the World Test Championship final, requiring 69 more runs to defeat Australia.
  • South Africa began as underdogs with a history of folding under pressure, but a change in approach helped them recover from a first innings score of 138 all out.
  • Aiden Markram remained unbeaten on 102, finally reaching a century after a long stretch of 16 innings without one, while Temba Bavuma supported him with an unbeaten 65 despite struggling with a hamstring injury.
  • Kagiso Rabada took nine wickets in the match including 4-59 in the first innings, while the pitch offered variable bounce and seam movement causing 28 wickets to fall in the first two days, described by Alex Carey as “a little bit difficult”.
  • South Africa's strong partnership and disciplined batting put them close to achieving the second-highest successful run chase at Lord's, suggesting a potential end to their 27-year wait for a major ICC title.
