These two sides will clash in the 2023-25 cycle Final in Lord's.
Reigning champions Australia will clash against South Africa in the World Test Championship (WTC) Final 2025. This exciting final showdown will unfold at the iconic Lord’s Stadium, starting on June 11. Pat Cummins and Co. would look to become the first team to win consecutive WTC trophies by defending their title against the Proteas. While Temba Bavuma and the team would want to end their over-two-decades long drought of an ICC championship.
The Proteas qualified for the red-ball summit clash by winning eight of their 12 matches and one draw. They obtained the highest percentage of 69.44 in the latest WTC cycle. In the race to qualify for the WTC Final, table topper South Africa registered a consecutive seven-match winning streak. This included a 1-1 drawn home series against India, a triumph in the only match against West Indies and three successive 2-0 sweeps while facing Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Pakistan.
On the other hand, Australia narrowly skipped India, whom they defeated in the latest WTC Final, in the qualification race for the ultimate clash. The Aussies accumulated a percentage of 67.54 with 13 victories and two draws in 19 Test matches. The No.1 ranked team in Tests, registered a whitewash against Pakistan and New Zealand, draws against arch-rivals England and West Indies and a 3-1 defeat against India on their road to qualifying for the summit clash.
The two-time runner-up, India, finished the cycle in third place, with only nine wins and two draws in 19 matches and secured a percentage of 50.
