Australia vs South Africa WTC Final 2025 Live Streaming: When and where to watch AUS vs SA final live in India
Test cricket well and truly makes its return after a period that has been dominated by the white ball game, and it is only fitting that it is the most consequential Test match of the summer that will kick things off, at the most historic cricket ground in the world. Australia and South Africa gear up for the World Test Championship 2025 final. Australia, the defending champions, against South Africa, who have a terrible history of always being so close, but always also being so far.
It's a golden opportunity for the Proteas to finally get their hands on some silverware, having had an impressive streak of results to earn their place in their first WTC final. Temba Bavuma captains a team well-suited to the conditions that will be on offer in London, but it's the same old question for this team: do they have the mentality and the ability to perform under pressure that is a non-negotiable when it comes to winning finals and lifting trophies?
The opposite is true for the Aussies, who never seem to stop winning. Pat Cummins already led this team to a WTC win at the Oval in 2023, and now has the chance to keep hold of the mace and go back-to-back. The big four bowling attack is still there, as are cornerstones like Steve Smith. Nobody wants to bet against the Aussies in an ICC final, given their track record. Can they keep frustrating the Proteas?

Mitchell Starc's big match temperament in WTC Final leaves Dale Steyn in awe
Australia fast bowler Mitchell Starc's remarkable performance in the World Test Championship (WTC) final 2025 has left South African fast-bowling great Dale Steyn awestruck. Starc once again turned up when it mattered most, removing both Aiden Markram and Ryan Rickelton quickly in the first innings of the WTC Final 2025 against South for JioStar as a panel expert, Steyn first explained how the 35-year-old was able to get those two early wickets, which turned the tide back in Australia's favour. The quick bowler ended up getting Markram out in the first over with a classic inswinger that ended up crashing onto the stumps. A couple of overs later, Rickelton was his next victim as he got the edge to the slips, with the delivery moving away from the left-handed really quick through the air, and I certainly think he rushes a lot of batsmen. When you're a bit nervous and your feet aren't moving the way you want—just like Aiden Markram —he was caught in the crease, unsure whether to go forward or not. Starc had already gone past the bat a few times, maybe even beaten him on the inside edge once or twice," said Steyn. "Then Rickelton decided he could hit it through the covers, and the best Test bowlers in the world have this ability to pull their length back just slightly. A batter thinks he's got it covered, but then it kicks up, moves just a little more, finds the edge. That's what Starc, Cummins, and Hazlewood have done so well over the years," he fast-bowling legend also highlighted how he has been able to put in similar performances in the big matches. He pointed out how his continuous performances have also made it a habitual process, which he can recreate time and again."But it's also about big-match temperament. He's done it before, he believes he can do it again—and when he does, it becomes a habit. He also builds a reputation. He gets the backing of his captain. We know how he's going to do it, and if you look at his wickets, they're all very similar," Steyn the end of the first day's play, Starc's twin blows alongside a wicket each for Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood have put South Africa under the pump. Whilst there are four more days to go, the Aussies will fancy their chances of retaining the title and adding another crown to their collection.

On Day 1 of the match taking place at Lord's in London, the left-arm pacer picked up two wickets for the Baggy Greens. He opened his account by dismissing Aiden Markram for a six-ball duck on the last ball of the first over of South Africa's first innings and then removed Ryan Rickelton. The left-handed wicketkeeper-batter was caught by Usman Khawaja in the slip after making 16 runs from 23 balls with the help of three fours. The wicket of Rickelton on Wednesday (June 11) helped Starc extend his tally of wickets to 11 in ICC finals, and he now becomes the leading wicket-taker in ICC finals.

Marnus Labuschagne makes Kevin Pietersen frustrated: Not there to leave ball all day
Marnus Labuschagne's timid batting during the first innings of the World Test Championship final Day 1 on Wednesday, June 11 left Kevin Pietersen frustrated on commentary. Labuschagne, who was promoted as an opener for the WTC Final, showed a lack of intent during the first session, which was a tricky period for Australia as they lost two wickets quickly. But once Steve Smith came in to bat, he was seen trying to get runs quickly and raced to a score of 17 off just 28 deliveries. For context, it was the same score that Labuschagne was batting on after facing 49 deliveries. He was ultimately dismissed for the same score off 56 deliveries. advertisementDuring that time, Pietersen was on commentary and criticised the Australian opener. The former England skipper said that Marnus has the ability to hit the ball well but his mindset was holding him back. "You see a lot of leaving from Marnus... Steve Smith is not going to let you go, and that's why he is one of the great players," Pietersen said in commentary. "Just on Marnus here, it is actually quite frustrating to watch. He has the ability to hit the ball really well if his body goes towards the ball, if his head goes toward the ball.""I just think it's a mindset. He has the ability, he has the eyes, he has the technique, but I just think he needs to change the way he's thinking at the moment."'Batters are out there to score runs'advertisementPietersen said that batters are out there to score runs and you cannot afford to leave the ball all day. The former England captain feels that such an approach will leave you vulnerable and the bowlers can work you over. "Batters are out there to score runs, you're not out there to leave the ball all day."You can bowl to that. If someone is just looking to leave (the ball) you can work him over. Comparing that to someone like Steve Smith - if you miss your line, miss your length, he smacks you for four."Australia ended up scoring 212 runs in the end.
