Day 1 of the ICC World Test Championship Final 2025 At Lord’s Offed Gripping Action With High-Quality Pace Bowling and Tense Moments. After Being Sennt in To Bat by South Africa, Australia posted 212 Thanks to Gritty Knocks from Steve Smith (66) and Beautiful Webster (72), but the story of the day was Kagiso Rabada‘S Sensality Five-Wicket Haul. South Africa’s Reply, However, Turned Into A Top-Order Collapse, with the Proteas Reeling at 43/4 by Stumps, Still Trailing by 169 Runs. A Riveting Contest Between Two Strong Pace Attacks has set the tone for a high-stakes final.
Kagiso Rabada Wrecks Australia With Five-Wicket Blitz at Lord’s
Rabada Delivered One of His Finest Spells on England Soil, Dismantling Australia’s Batting Lineup with a Fiery 5/51 across 15.4 Overs. He set the tone early, removing Usman Khawaja For a Duck and Returning Later to Remove Cameron Green, Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc AND THE WELL-SET Beautiful Webster To clean up the Tail. Rabada Got the Ball to Nip Both Ways and Extracted Good Bounce from the lord’s surface, Keeping the Australians on the Defensive. Only Smith and Webster Showed Resistance, Smith with a composed 66 and webster counterattacking with 72, but neither could convert their starts into a big hundred as rabada and Marco Jansen (3/49) STORTSED PERLES PRESSURE. Australia Were Bowled Out in Under 60 Overs, with six drums Failing to Reach Double Digits.

South Africa’s Top Order Cruncles Against Australia in WTC 2025 Final
In Reply, South Africa Endured A Nightmare Start Against Australia’s Pace Trio. Mitchell Starc was lethal upfront, dismissing Aiden Markram For a Duck and then Ryan Rickelton For 16 with Classic Left-Arm Angle and Seam Movement. Wiaan Mulder then Played A Slugish 44-Ball Stay Before Being Bowled through the Gate by a Seaming Delivery from Cummins. Josh Hazlewood Joined the act to dismissing Tristan Stubbs Cheaply, Reducing South Africa to 30/4. With captain Temba Bavuma Struggling on 3 off 37 balls and David Bordingham NEW AT THE CREASE, The Proteas LIMPED TO 43/4 AT STUMS. The Pace-Friendly Conditions and Discipored Australian Bowling Have Left South Africa Under Severe Pressure Heading Into Day 2 of this High-Octan Final.

Relentless from Australia, Which you would Expect TBH, but his Have Been Sitting Ducks With Their Approach. No Rotation of Strike, not even attempting to. Eventually the Ball has your number.
