Hobbling captain Temba Bavuma and hundred-hitter Aiden Markram pushed South Africa to the brink of a sensational victory over Australia in a gripping World Test Championship final at Lord's
Keshav Maharaj believes South Africa’s well-rounded bowling attack — combining pace, height, swing, and control — gives them an edge in the WTC final against Australia. He also praised Test cricket’s intensity and the role of character in high-pressure moments.
Former India off-spinner Harbhajan Singh said that Australia would come prepared and had played a lot of cricket in England—Ashes, the last WTC Final—and that experience will count
“I think both teams (South Africa and Australia for the WTC final from June 11 at Lord’s in England) are very similarly matched with their bowling attacks. You look at Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, Jos Hazlewood, Scott Boland, they're probably the four front runners at this stage, along with Nathan Lyon,” Finch said.
AB de Villiers backs South Africa to beat Australia in the WTC Final at Lord’s, calling it a "massive moment." Meanwhile, Aaron Finch highlights Australia's preparedness and singles out Travis Head as the danger man ahead of the June 11 clash.
Gill was given out by TV umpire Richard Kettleborough on the stroke of tea on the fourth day of an enthralling contest at The Oval on Saturday after India made a bright start to their run chase, with 444 needed for victory.
Head, who has built a reputation of playing impactful innings in 36 Test old career, single-handedly change the course of the game with his aggressive approach
Both captains Rohit and Pat Cummins will be playing their 50th Test match through the WTC final. The winner of the 2023 WTC final will become the first team to win all ICC titles in men's international cricket
