[WATCH] Kagiso Rabada Breathes Fire With Double Wicket-Over To Dent Australia Early in WTC 2025 Final

Proteas pace spearhead Kagiso Rabada was right on the money to dent opposition Australia early in the World Test Championship (WTC 2025 Final) at Lord’s.

The South African speedster reduced the Aussies to 16 for 2 after a double whammy in the seventh over of the match. Rabada first removed Usman Khawaja for a 20-ball duck on the third ball of the over before dismissing Cameron Green on the final ball.

On both instances, batters fell prey to the movement produced by Rabada as they ended up edging to the slips.

Khawaja fell prey to a wobble seam good length ball as Bedingham took a steady catch while it veered in the air on the way to him.

Next, Cam Green ended up making a thick edge to a nipping delivery moving away from him and Aiden Markram did a brilliant job diving forward to pouch it in two hands just above the turf.

Watch the video of both dismissals below.
