Severe Cold Front Brings Snow In South Africa
Johannesburg: A severe cold front sweeping across South Africa since the weekend brought heavy snowfall which has led to road closures, power outages and a fatal road accident, officials said. Five people were killed in a road accident along the N2 highway due to the adverse weather, Eastern Cape transport department spokesperson Unathi Binqose told local broadcaster Newzroom Afrika on Tuesday. The South African Weather Service warned citizens late last week there would be a big drop in temperatures this week across the country, accompanied by disruptive rain, damaging winds, and snow over eastern areas. South Africa regularly receives snowfall during its winter months from June through August, with temperatures diving below zero degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit). Snow has been reported since Monday across provinces including Eastern Cape, KwaZulu-Natal and Free State, prompting closures along sections of the N2 highway that connects the provinces, according to the KwaZulu-Natal transport department. Power utility Eskom said in a post on X that it was "experiencing a high number of customer calls nationally, due to widespread power outages caused by inclement weather." More resources were being secured to ensure prompt resolution to the power outages, Mr Eskom said. The weather service forecast that the cold front would persist through midweek.

South Africa vs Australia, WTC final: Lord's, London – Pitch report, weather forecast, AI predictions and more
South Africa will lock horns with Australia in the World Test Championship (WTC) final on Wednesday day (June 11). The clash will be played at the iconic Lord's Cricket Ground in London. While the defending champions Australia will want to reclaim the title, South Africa will seek to clinch their first WTC trophy. The deck at the Lord's will help the pacers in the beginning, however, it is expected to be on the drier side as the game progresses and therefore will assist the spinners. If the batters manage to put runs on the board in the initial overs without losing wickets, then the pitch will be favourable for them to register a good total. According to AccuWeather, the temperature in London will hover around 20 degrees Celsius at the beginning of the game and will increase to 23 degrees Celsius by the end. The sky is expected to be partly sunny throughout the match duration and there is a negligible chance of rain. Total matches played: 147 Matches won by batting first: 53 Matches won by batting second: 43 Highest team total: 729/6 by Australia vs England Lowest team total: 38/10 by Ireland vs England Highest total successfully chased: 344/1 by West Indies vs England Lowest total defended: 62/10 by England vs Australia Matches ending in a draw: 4 Matches ending in a draw: 15 Matches won by South Africa: 26 Matches won by Australia: 54 Matches ended in a draw: 21 Australia and South Africa have faced each other thrice in neutral Tests, with all three played in 1912. Australia won two of those Tests at Manchester and Lord's. The third at Nottingham ended in a draw. Australia will win the 2025 WTC Final against South Africa. Steve Smith is likely to score the most runs and Pat Cummins will take the most wickets. Australia's experience at the Lord's and current form gives them an edge. Smith's recent five centuries and Cummins' 6/45 in Sydney back their dominance, despite South Africa's strong pace attack. Australia are favourites to win the WTC Final 2025 at Lord's, thanks to their experienced pace attack and strong batting depth. Steve Smith is likely to score the most runs, given his stellar record in English conditions. Pat Cummins is expected to take the most wickets, exploiting Lord's swing-friendly pitch. South Africa may fight hard, but Australia's balance and familiarity with the venue give them a clear edge.
