Australia vs South Africa WTC Final 2025 Live Streaming: South Africa won the toss and chose to bowl first against defending champions Australia in the final of the ICC World Test Championship 2023–25 at Lord’s on Wednesday. Pat Cummins' Australian team comes into the final on the back of a strong two-year run. They won 13 of their 19 Tests, including home series sweeps against Pakistan, New Zealand and Sri Lanka. The Aussies also held England to a 2-2 draw in the 2023 Ashes and retained the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against India.
Despite a surprising loss to West Indies in Brisbane, Australia topped the WTC points table and are eyeing their second consecutive title.
South Africa, under the leadership of Temba Bavuma, reached the final after a strong comeback. They were whitewashed by New Zealand early in the cycle and had a drawn home series against India. But the Proteas bounced back with wins over West Indies, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, followed by a 2-0 series victory against Pakistan to finish second in the standings.
