Which Team Will Win WTC 2025 If South Africa Vs Australia Final Ends In A Draw?
Last Updated: The 2025 WTC final between South Africa and Australia will be played at Lord's from June 11 to 15. South Africa will face Australia in the World Test Championship (WTC) 2025 final. The high-voltage match between the two top teams of the WTC 2023-25 cycle is set to take place at Lord's in London from June 11 to 15. The Proteas are coming into the final after topping the WTC 2023-25 points table and winning seven matches in a row, whereas defending champions Australia have won five of their last six Test matches. The Baggy Greens would like to get the better of Temba Bavuma & Co. in the one-off match to become WTC winners for the second time in history. However, it's not going to be an easy task, as the Proteas are also coming fully prepared for the big match. The WTC 2025 final between South Africa and Australia promises to be a nail-biting contest at the Home of Cricket, and it will be too early to predict which team is going to win the title. In Test cricket, three results are always possible, and so the question arises: which team will win WTC 2025 if the final ends in a draw? Well, according to tournament rules, if the WTC 2025 final ends in a draw or tie or gets abandoned, then Australia and South Africa will have to share the WTC trophy. However, to reduce the possibility of a draw, the match has a reserve day in place. But reserve day will only come into play if time has been lost to bad weather across the five days and they are unable to make up for it in those five days and no result has been reached by the end of the fifth day. WTC 2025 winners' prize money According to ICC, the winner of the WTC 2025 final will take home US $3.6 million, which is more than double what Australia received as WTC winners in 2023. The 2025 runners-up will take home $2.1 million this time, compared to $800,000 in the last two editions. Squads Australia: Pat Cummins (C), Usman Khawaja, Sam Konstas, Marnus Labuschagne, Steven Smith, Travis Head, Alex Carey, Josh Inglis, Cameron Green, Beau Webster, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, Scott Boland, Nathan Lyon, Matt Kuhnemann. Travelling reserve: Brendan Doggett South Africa: Temba Bavuma (C), Tony de Zorzi, Ryan Rickelton, Aiden Markram, David Bedingham, Tristan Stubbs, Kyle Verreynne, Wiaan Mulder, Marco Jansen, Corbin Bosch, Kagiso Rabada, Lungi Ngidi, Dane Paterson, Keshav Maharaj, Senuran Muthusamy First Published: June 09, 2025, 23:59 IST News cricket Which Team Will Win WTC 2025 If South Africa Vs Australia Final Ends In A Draw?

Good news for Delhi Capitals ahead of IPL 2025 resumption, star players to join but…
Delhi Capitals have managed to secure the services of Mustafizur Rahman for the league stage matches of IPL 2025. (Photo: ANI) The IPL 2025 season is all set to resume on Saturday (May 17) after a break of one week due to ongoing India-Pakistan tension. One team that is struggling to put together their strongest squad is Axar Patel's Delhi Capitals, who are also in the race to qualify for the Playoffs. DC have already been dealt a big blow with Australian pacer Mitchell Starc deciding not to return to India for the remaining matches in the IPL 2025 season. Starc, who was bought for Rs 11.75 crore by DC at the IPL 2025 mega auction, had claimed 14 wickets in 11 matches this season. Apart from Starc, another Australian – Jake Fraser-McGurk has also pulled out of the remaining matches in the IPL 2025 season. DC had signed up veteran Bangladesh pacer Mustafizur Rahman for Rs 6 crore to replace Fraser-McGurk but the signing was put in doubt when the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) claimed that they had not given 'NOC' to the left-arm pacer. Now, finally to the relief of DC management, Mustafizur Rahman has been 'granted' a no-objection certificate to link up with DC for 'the period from 18-24 May 2025', the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) said in a statement on Friday afternoon. Mustafizur Rahman is back in 💙❤️ after two years! He replaces Jake Fraser-McGurk who is unavailable for the rest of the season. — Delhi Capitals (@DelhiCapitals) May 14, 2025 That makes him available for DC's three remaining league matches in IPL 2025 starting with one against Gujarat Titans in Delhi on Sunday, but not the playoffs, should DC make it to that stage. The BCB confirmed that Mustafizur would be available for Bangladesh's first T20I against UAE in Sharjah on Saturday before travelling to India. Whether he is ready for action after reaching India on May 18 for DC's game the same evening, however, remains to be seen. On Friday morning, Starc confirmed that he wouldn't be travelling to India for the remainder of IPL 2025, a week after being part of the match against Punjab Kings that was abandoned in Dharamsala – and will be replayed in Jaipur. South African all-rounder Donovan Ferreira, who played one game this season, would also not be returning. Meanwhile, former South Africa and RCB captain Faf du Plessis is set to return to DC, while Tristan Stubbs has confirmed his return, but only for the rest of the league phase after which he would be leaving for the WTC 2025 final against Australia which starts at Lord's on June 11.

It's exciting to announce that the winner of the #WTC25 Final between South Africa and Australia will earn $3.6M, with the runner-up to receive $2.1M.
