Delhi: The ICC World Test Championship (WTC) Final is just 69 runs away from a historic victory against Australia by the end of the third day of 2025. The match has now reached the decisive turn and the fourth day game is expected to be very exciting.
In Geographstar’s “Cricket Live” program, Dale Stan, Matthew Hayden and Sanjay Bangar discussed Test cricket while reviewing the third day’s game. Dale Stan said that even though South Africa is close to victory, the final 69 runs can be the most difficult. He said, “Test cricket is made for a short moments. If South Africa had taken two wickets a few wickets or had thrown less no-ball, the match might have ended on the third day. This is the beauty of Test format, the last runs would not come here easily.”
Talking about the batting of South Africa, Aiden Markram’s century innings gave the team stable. Matthew Hayden described Markram and Temba Bavuma’s partnership as decisive. He said, “Markram appeared in a spectacular rhythm and his strike rate was above 70. Bavuma showed tremendous courage despite the injury. The partnership of both was almost excellent and brought the team to a strong position.”
Sanjay Bangar appreciated Markram’s technology and restraint, saying, “His footwork and decision -making ability was wonderful. He showed prudence in rotating the strike and kept pressure on the Australian bowlers together with Bavuma.”
Now everyone’s eyes are on the fourth day. Will South Africa be able to reach this exciting match, or Australia will return to the last chance? One thing is certain, the fourth day is going to be very exciting for cricket lovers.
