Australia are odds-on favourites to claim consecutive World Test Championship titles this week - while South Africa are 5/2 outsiders to cause the upset at Lord's
The Australia cricket team can create history in London this week - as they look to become the first nation to win multiple World Test Championship titles.
Patrick Cummins and Co claimed their maiden WTC crown in 2023 - defeating India by 209 runs at The Oval.
The Aussies will be up against South Africa this time around - as the famed Lord's plays host to a blockbuster final starting Wednesday.
For those who will be following closely - Australia are the best-backed at 1/2 to be victorious and secure successive World Test Championships.
Meanwhile, South Africa are 5/2 outsiders to upset the applecart and win just their second major trophy and first since 1998.
In addition to the head-to-head odds - Sky Bet are offering three Price Boosts that are generating interest in the betting lines.
The first boost - which has been enhanced to 11/4 - requires Australia to win the match, hit the most sixes and the most fours.
Meanwhile, the other two boosts need Steve Smith to score 100+ runs and take a catch in the first innings at 8/1, and Cummins to take the most wickets for Australia and Kabiso Rabada to take the most wickets in the first innings for South Africa at 12/1 (ties are losers).
Smith scored a century and took two catches in the first innings of Australia's aforementioned 2023 WTC final victory over India.
Additionally, in the same final - Cummins took the most wickets for Australia in the first innings with three.
Lastly, Rabada has a strong record against Australia in his career to date - with the fast bowler taking 49 wickets at an average of 23.08.
