The cricketing world is abuzz as South Africa prepares to take on Australia in the World Test Championship (WTC) 2025 final. This highly anticipated showdown between the two top teams of the WTC 2023-25 cycle is scheduled to unfold at Lord’s in London from June 11 to 15. The Proteas arrive in formidable form, having dominated the WTC 2023-25 points table with an impressive streak of seven consecutive victories. Meanwhile, defending champions Australia have demonstrated their prowess by winning five of their last six Test matches.
The Baggy Greens are eager to overcome Temba Bavuma & Co. in this decisive one-off encounter, aiming to secure their second WTC title. Nevertheless, this will be no simple feat, as the Proteas are equally prepared for the monumental clash. The WTC 2025 final between South Africa and Australia promises to be a gripping contest at the Home of Cricket, making any early predictions about the winner incredibly difficult.
In Test cricket, three outcomes are always possible. This naturally raises the question: what happens if the WTC 2025 final concludes in a draw? According to tournament regulations, “if the WTC 2025 final ends in a draw or tie or gets abandoned, then Australia and South Africa will have to share the WTC trophy.” To minimize the chances of a drawn match, a reserve day has been incorporated into the schedule. However, this reserve day will only be utilized “if time has been lost to bad weather across the five days and they are unable to make up for it in those five days and no result has been reached by the end of the fifth day.”
Let’s see which team wins the WTC final?
