South Africa, winning the toss in the World Test Championship 2025 final, bowled out Australia for 212 in the first innings. Kagiso Rabada led the South African bowling attack with five wickets, while Beau Webster (72) and Steve Smith (66) were Australia’s top scorers.
By the end of the first day’s play, South Africa had scored 43 runs for the loss of 4 wickets. On the second day, South Africa took their innings forward in a controlled manner. There was a very important partnership of 64 runs between captain Temba Bavuma and David Bedingham. Bavuma was playing brilliantly, but Marnus Labuschagne took a wonderful catch and dismissed him for 34. David Bedingham also went out after scoring 45 runs. On the second day, the rest of the African batsmen could not do anything special, as a result the whole team was reduced to a score of 138.
When Australia came to bat in the second innings, Kagiso Rabada once again wreaked havoc on the Kangaroo batsmen. Rabada gave Australia a double blow by taking the wickets of Usman Khawaja and Cameron Green in the same over. Marnus Labuschagne scored 22 runs this time, while Steve Smith, who scored a fifty in the first innings, was out after scoring 13 runs this time. Beau Webster had scored 72 runs in the first innings, but this time he also flopped.
South Africa took 7 wickets of Australia for just 73 runs in the second innings. But wicketkeeper batsman Alex Carey’s innings of 43 runs became a bone in the kebab for South Africa, due to which he added 61 runs with Mitchell Starc. It seemed difficult for Australia to score even 100 runs in the second innings, but thanks to Alex Carey, Australia has increased its total lead to 218 runs.
