South Africa are all set to face the mighty Australia in the highly anticipated World Test Championship (WTC) 2025 final.
New Delhi: On June 11, the World Test Championship (WTC) 2025 final will take place between South Africa and Australia at Lord`s Cricket Ground in London. Australia is aiming to win its second WTC title, whereas a South African victory would be their first WTC triumph and allow them to end a 27-year draught without an ICC trophy, the last one being the 1998 Champions Trophy.
The projected game at Lords is facing the threat of rain especially on the second day (June 12). Although there is a reserve day to ward off any delays, there is a chance of a draw or even an entire washout.
What will happen if WTC final ends in a draw or gets washed out?
If rain or other circumstances prevent a conclusive result in the 2025 World Test Championship final between Australia and South Africa, the trophy will be shared by both teams.
Australia seeks to become the inaugural team to successfully defend their ICC World Test Championship title in their upcoming series against South Africa.
Australia’s chances of winning the match depend on strong opening performances from Usman Khawaja and significant wicket-taking by Pat Cummins to overcome South Africa’s formidable batting lineup, which includes Temba Bavuma, Aiden Markram, and Ryan Rickelton.
Usman Khawaja is nearing 6,000 Test runs. He’s currently the team’s leading run-scorer in the current cycle, having accumulated 1,422 runs across 19 Tests and 37 innings, averaging 41.82 with two centuries and six half-centuries. He requires only 70 more runs to reach the milestone.
