South Africa have won the ICC World Test Championship 2025 title as Kyle Verreynne hits the winning runs in the SA vs AUS WTC 2025 final! This is their first ICC title since 1998 and it has come after a series of heartbreaks! Finally, South Africa have their hands on an ICC title and they have won it after beating defending WTC champions Australia at the iconic Lord's Cricket Ground. This is South Africa's second ICC title and first World Test Championship crown. This is South Africa's first ICC title in 27 years and there have been several architects of this famous win, which will be remembered as a golden chapter in South African sport. Aiden Markram struck a classy 132 and controlled the chase while Temba Bavuma fought hard with 66 runs. Earlier in the match, it was Kagiso Rabada (5/51) who set the tone for South Africa early on with a splendid five-wicket haul in the first innings of the match. The celebrations surely will go down long and hard and Temba Bavuma and his men raise the ICC WTC mace. South Africa became the third team to win the ICC WTC title after New Zealand (2021) and Australia (2023). Australia can also be mighty proud of their performance, having made it to a second consecutive final.

Australia seemed to have the upper hand early on Day 3 with Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood hanging out there in the middle in a bid to extend their lead. Mitchell Starc struck an unbeaten half-century (58*), one that helped Australia post a 282-run target for South Africa to chase down. Given how effective the Australia National Cricket Team pacers were in the second innings of the match, many would have expected a similar kind of domination. But Aiden Markram and Temba Bavuma flattened the Australian bowling attack and nullified all kinds of threat in their partnership. While Aiden Markram became just the third batter to hit a century in a WTC final, Temba Bavuma battled through a hamstring injury but continued to bat, scoring an unbeaten 65.

While South Africa are outright favourites to win and become the third team to lift the ICC WTC mace, cricket can be a largely unpredictable game. Australia need eight more wickets but with just 69 runs to play, one can that their chances of winning the ICC WTC 2025 final are close to zero. However, with some quick wickets can induce panic into the South African dressing room. ICC WTC 2025 Final: Aiden Markram Joins Plethora of Legends Following Historic Lord’s Ton Against Australia.
