An action-packed Day 1 in SA vs AUS 2025 WTC final
Meanwhile, the opening day of the 2025 WTC final between South Africa and Australia at Lord’s has been absolutely action-packed. South Africa won the toss and asked Australia to bat first. Their pacers made complete use of the conditions on offer, picking early wickets and eventually bundling Australia out for just 212 runs in 56.4 overs in the first innings.
However, Australia bounced back with the ball, picking up early wickets to bring the game into balance. At the time of writing, South Africa, in the second innings, are down to 34/4 from 21 overs, trailing by 178 runs.
Mitchell Starc bagged two quick wickets upfront while Josh Hazlewood and skipper Pat Cummins picked up a wicket each. As expected, the Australian pace trio has put the Proteas in early trouble. South Africa will now look to bat out the remainder of the day without further loss of wickets.
