Delhi: The final match of the World Test Championship 2025 will be played at the famous Lord’s Stadium in London. In this big match, South Africa will face the current champion Australia. The South African team, captained by Temba Bavuma, is ready to give a tough competition to Australia, while Pat Cummins’ team is continuously performing brilliantly.
Australia would like to win the title for the second consecutive time
Australia is eyeing winning the World Test Championship title for the second consecutive time. At the same time, South Africa team has not won the title of any big ICC tournament for almost 30 years. This time they will try to finish this drought.
South Africa is in great form
South Africa’s performance in this WTC cycle has been amazing. He defeated Pakistan 2–0 and topped the points table. This was his seventh consecutive Test victory, making it clear that he is in great form at this time. Apart from this, he has also achieved good results against teams like Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
Match date and reserve day arrangement
This title match will be played from 11 June to 15 June. If the entire over of the match is not completed due to weather or any other reason, then on 16 June, it has been kept as Reserve Day. The remaining overs can be completed on this day.
Rain became the reason for tension
According to the Meteorological Department, it can be cloudy during the match in London. Especially on the second day, 25% rainfall is expected. In such a situation, the game may be affected.
If the match is washed in a draw or rain?
If this match is drawn or the result is not possible due to rain, then both teams will have to share the WTC trophy. The ICC has placed an additional day (Reserve Day) to reduce the possibility of a draw. The same thing happened in the final of 2021 when the first day in the match between India and New Zealand was washed away in the rain and the match was completed using Reserve Day.
