South Africa Inches Closer To Their First ICC Title In WTC Final 2025
London, June 14, 2025:
As Day 4 of the ICC World Test Championship Final 2025 begins at the historic Lord’s Cricket Ground, South Africa is just 69 runs away from rewriting cricket history. With 8 wickets in hand and two set batsmen at the crease, the Proteas are primed to lift their first-ever ICC trophy in men's cricket.

Markram's Century Keeps South Africa in Control
Chasing 282, South Africa finished Day 3 at 213/2, thanks to a magnificent unbeaten century by Aiden Markram (102)**. Alongside him, Rassie van der Dussen (55) has offered solid support, ensuring the Proteas avoided the common fourth-innings collapse seen in high-stakes Tests.

This poised partnership has silenced the Australian pace attack and brought South Africa within touching distance of a historic win.

Breaking the “Chokers” Tag
South Africa has often come close but failed at the final hurdle in previous ICC tournaments. From the heartbreaks of 1999 to the semifinals of 2015 and 2023, their journey has been filled with missed chances.

But ...
... under the leadership of Temba Bavuma and coach Shukri Conrad, the team has shown resilience, calm, and intent throughout this WTC campaign.

Australia's Slim Hope Rests on Early Wickets
Australia’s bowlers, including Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, and Nathan Lyon, must strike early on Day 4 to have any chance. If they fail to break the Markram–Van der Dussen partnership in the first session, the match may slip out of their hands quickly.

Final Word:
South Africa has never been closer to cricketing immortality. With 69 runs standing between them and their first ICC triumph, the Proteas are ready to end decades of heartbreak. Will they finally seize the moment?
