South Africa on brink of maiden WTC triumph
London, June 13 (UNI) South Africa are on the verge of scripting history in the ICC World Test Championship Final, needing just 69 more runs to lift their maiden title after a commanding performance on Day 3 at Lord's on Friday, powered by a superb century from Aiden Markram and a courageous, unbeaten stand with an injured Temba Bavuma. At stumps, the Proteas stood tall at 213 for 2 in pursuit of 288, with Markram batting on a flawless 102, his eighth Test hundred, and skipper Bavuma offering steadfast support with 65, despite clearly struggling with a hamstring injury picked up mid-innings. Their unbeaten 123-run partnership has not only blunted Australia's attack but brought South Africa to the cusp of a landmark victory. Earlier in the day, Australia were bowled out for 207 in their second innings after resuming at 123 for 6. Mitchell Starc waged a lone battle, smashing a resilient 58 not out, and forging a crucial 59-run last-wicket stand with Josh Hazlewood (17), which helped stretch the lead to 287. Australia struck an early blow in South Africa's chase when Starc removed Ryan Rickelton for six in the third over, reviving hopes of a collapse similar to the Proteas' first-innings effort. But Markram and Wiaan Mulder stitched together a composed 85-run partnership that stabilised the innings. Mulder contributed a useful 27 before falling to Starc, skying a catch to Marnus Labuschagne at cover. From that point, it was all South Africa. Bavuma, despite his mobility being visibly limited due to the hamstring niggle, displayed exceptional grit and temperament. He rotated the strike intelligently and provided steadfast company to Markram, who was elegant and assured throughout his innings, peppering the boundary with exquisite timing and placement. In a cruel blow to Australia, veteran batter Steve Smith was forced off the field and taken to hospital after suffering a compound dislocation to his right little finger. The injury occurred when he failed to hold on to a sharp catch at slip off Bavuma when the South African captain was on just two. Australian skipper Pat Cummins rang in the changes, using six bowlers in an attempt to break the stubborn stand, but the pitch flattened and the bowlers ran out of ideas. The Proteas' composure under pressure stood in stark contrast to the Aussies' rising desperation. As the sun set over Lord's, it was South Africa who were basking in control, poised to cap off a dominant World Test Championship cycle in which they won seven consecutive Tests to reach the final. Australia, on the other hand, face the prospect of missing out on becoming the first team to win back-to-back WTC titles since the tournament's inception in 2019. With just 69 runs separating South Africa from Test cricket's ultimate prize, and eight wickets still in hand, Saturday could well mark a historic dawn for the Proteas. UNI BDN SSP

WTC Final, Day 3: Markram's flair, Bavuma's grit bring South Africa on the cusp of history
A confident Australian team were handed the shock of their lives after Aiden Markram and Temba Bavuma came clutch for South Africa on Day 3 of the World Test Championship Final on Friday, June 13. The senior duo of the South Africa side, who have seen multiple heartbreaks together, batted out of their skin to bring the Proteas on the cusp of history in the summit clash of the 28 wickets fell on the first two days of the final, it seemed like South Africa's fates were sealed when Australia set a target of 282 against them. That belief was furthered after South Africa lost Ryan Rickelton inside the first 5 overs of the final innings of the match. But South Africa had other plans. In particular, Aiden Markram had other plans. Rather than dialling down the runflow after the dismissal, Markram and an equally fiery Wiaan Mulder at number 3, shifted to full attacking gears against the Australia bowling Proteas opener stood his ground against the fast bowlers in the first few overs of the match, before controlling it to perfection for the rest of the day. While Mulder's aggression was brought to an end by Mitchell Starc, Markram, aided by the sun, saw off one of the best bowling units in world cricket right now. The opener hit a remarkable century, brining his team within 69 runs of the target at the end of day's SA vs AUS, WTC Final, Day 3: UpdatesNot only was Markram able to dent the bowling attack, but kept himself busy at the crease, ticking off runs ball by ball, session by session. Markram, who captained the Proteas in this edition of the World Test Championship duringTemba Bavuma's absence in Bangladesh, showed incredible leadership to hold one end of the and his Lion's heartMarkram found support in his skipper, Temba Bavuma, who scripted a never-seen-before fight from a South African in the final of any competition. Dropped on 2 by Steve Smith at second slip, a risky catch that dislocated his finger, Bavuma made the Australians pay with a superb effort with the was actually less about the batting and more about the character that Bavuma showed on Day 3 of the summit clash. After being dropped in the 20th over, Bavuma pulled his hamstring in the 24th over of the final struggling to run and bat, Bavuma decided to stay on and hobbled his way to a fifty on Friday. Bavuma winced and gritted his teeth on multiple occasions but did not give up. Bavuma could have easily retired at the Tea break and come back later on after taking meds, but chose against it as he and Markram believed that they could halt the Australian barrage at Lord' on the Australian 'stars'advertisementThe duo batted through the day, playing 232 balls and scoring 143 runs between them, the best figures in the match between the two teams. While Markram scored a terrific century in 155 balls, Bavuma remained unbeaten at 65 at the end of the day's Australian shoulders started sinking late in the day, when the duo were able to bring down the massive target of 282 runs to a mere two-digit target. As Pat Cummins searched for ways to break the partnership, he turned to his spinners, Nathan Lyon and Travis Head, but the Proteas refused to budge from the especially, was on point with his cuts and late cuts, which frustrated the Australians. The control on those shots was so good that Markram, for the first time in his life, transformed his batting into an art in an ICC Final. He was on a 'pair' coming into the second innings of the match and showed incredible mental fortitude to shake off the poor morning that the Proteas game seemed like a sure-shot victory for Australia after Mitchell Starc's fighting effort of 58*, the best innings played by a batter till that point in the game. However, the topsy-turvy nature of the game and perhaps the beauty of red ball cricket came to fore once again as South Africa scripted an incredible comeback after being down and out at the start of the anything, the final at Lord's has been an entertaining one. And the one complaint that everyone had about the batting quality, has been taken away by some superb cricket by the two leaders of the South African cricket on Watch
