AUS vs SA Live Score, WTC Final 2025: South Africa near historic WTC win at iconic Lord's vs Australia - The Times of India
Australia vs South Africa Live Score, ICC WTC Final 2025: South Africa have placed one hand firmly on the World Test Championship mace, thanks to an inspired stand between Aiden Markram and Temba Bavuma that has left them needing just 69 runs to script one of the most significant chapters in their cricketing history. The Proteas walked off Lord's on Day 3 at a commanding 213/2, chasing 282 for victory against a seasoned Australian side that has made winning big games a habit. Markram, whose duck in the first innings added to South Africa's batting woes, turned saviour with an unbeaten century that was as much about skill as it was about resilience. His partner, Bavuma, hobbled for most of his innings but refused to throw in the towel. At 65 not out, the skipper has embodied the fight that South African cricket fans have yearned to see when it matters most. History, however, is not easily conquered at Lord's. Only four times before has a target above 200 been chased successfully at this hallowed venue, with just one such instance since 2005. If South Africa do cross the line, it will stand as the second-highest run chase at the ground — a feat few would have bet on after their meagre 138 all out in the first innings. Australia's Mitchell Starc looked set to break South African hearts again. His stubborn 58* dragged Australia's second innings to 207, then he removed both openers cheaply to have the Proteas wobbling at 70/2. But that was where the fightback truly began. Markram was positive from ball one, driving and pulling with authority. Bavuma, despite visible discomfort from his hamstring, countered Australia's pace and spin with remarkable grit. Even dropped catches and missed chances by the Aussies helped, as Steve Smith's absence due to a finger injury left a big hole in their slip cordon and tactics. Kagiso Rabada's nine wickets in the match, including crucial strikes to wrap up Australia's tail, gave the batters the manageable target they are now on the verge of hunting down. South Africa's fans, used to heartbreak at the final hurdle, now wait for history. Should Markram and Bavuma complete the job, they will end a 27-year drought for an ICC trophy and rewrite the narrative of a team that once froze under pressure but now stands tall at cricket's grandest stage.

SA Vs AUS, WTC Final Day 4 Live Score: South Africa 69 Runs Away From History But Australia Not Giving Up
Australia vs South Africa ICC WTC Final 2025, Day 4 Live: Captain Temba Bavuma, despite a strained left hamstring, and centurion Aiden Markram steered South Africa to the brink of a remarkable victory over Australia in a gripping World Test Championship final at Lord's on Friday. Bavuma and opener Markram, capitalising on advantageous batting conditions, forged an unbroken 143-run partnership against one of Australia's most potent bowling attacks, leaving South Africa just 69 runs shy of a historic triumph. Chasing a target of 282, the Proteas finished day three on 213/2, a spirited performance in their quest to secure their first ICC trophy in 27 years. Bavuma, unbeaten on 65 from 121 balls, displayed impeccable batting technique despite his restricted mobility, while Markram remained 102 not out from 159 balls, registering the highest individual score of the final. Defending champion Australia fielded four of their top-10 all-time Test wicket-takers, boasting a combined tally of over 1,500 wickets. However, they were unable to dislodge the South African pair, who remained largely untroubled throughout the day.

SA Vs AUS, WTC 2025 Final Live Score: Australia All Out For 207; Set South Africa A Target Of 281
Australia vs South Africa Live Score, ICC WTC Final 2025: Hello and a very warm welcome to News18 CricketNext's live coverage of the third day of the 2025 World Test Championship final at Lord's. This is almost certain to be the last day of this Test. 14 wickets fell on the first two days and according to Australia's captain Pat Cummins, the pitch is only getting more difficult to bat on — which should make it difficult for the remaining 12 batters to survive and beat the trend. But it's here that the margins of big matches come into play. A lot of the 28 wickets so far can be put down to poor batting and a lack of preparedness for the moving red cherry. South Africa's bowlers have done the job for them twice now, by getting the Aussies out for 212 in the first innings and then keeping them down to 144/8 in the third. Australia having a lead of 218, the most runs for an innings in this Test, is not on them. It is as big an invitation as it could be for the Proteas' batting lineup to step up. It'll require an effort of the highest — almost unprecedented — order to do it against this bowling attack at this stage. But there's no tomorrow to this opportunity to end the 27-year-long wait for a senior men's ICC title; it's now or an even more painful wait for several months and probably years. Doing it against the odds is what makes the champions. Can Temba Bavuma and his men create history? Teams:
