WTC FINAL 2025 – DAY 3 REPORT
Hobbling captain Temba Bavuma and hundred-hitter Aiden Markram pushed South Africa to the brink of a sensational victory over Australia in a gripping World Test Championship (WTC) final at Lord’s on Friday.
Bavuma, elevating the drama with a strained left hamstring, and opener Markram capitalised on ideal batting conditions. They partnered for an unbroken 143 runs against one of Australia’s greatest bowling attacks to have South Africa 69 runs from an historic triumph.
Chasing 282 to win, the Proteas were 213 for two at Stumps on day three in a stirring bid to win a first ICC trophy in 27 years.
