Rabada, who is second in the ICC test bowling rankings, behind only Indian ace Jasprit Bumrah, had earned a spot on the Lord\u2019s honour board the last time the Proteas played a Test at the hallowed venue, as South Africa beat England by an innings and 12 runs in August, 2022. The fast bowler compiled a first innings return of 5\/52 off 19 overs \u2013 and seven scalps for the match.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"Every batter you face, you want to dismiss. I suppose I've just had the upper hand so far. We have specific plans for each of their batsmen, but ultimately it's about keeping things simple - that's what this game comes down to,\" Rabada said on Star Sports.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Temba Bavuma's South Africa aims for their first ICC trophy in over two decades, while Pat Cummins-led Australia will be looking to retain the mace that they claimed after defeating India in 2023.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Sharing his excitement ahead of the ICC WTC final, the Proteas pacer said, \"It\u2019s the ultimate setting, especially at Lord\u2019s \u2013 a brilliant venue. We\u2019re up against a strong team, and I wouldn\u2019t want it any other way. It\u2019ll be very special, especially with this South African team. It\u2019s a very inexperienced side, but we've performed much better than expected.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"We have a lot of belief. There\u2019s always a sense of responsibility. Right from the day I started playing for South Africa, I\u2019ve always felt that responsibility\u2014to do my part in helping the team win games.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Rabada also pointed out the challenge of playing in unfamiliar English conditions with the Duke ball, noting Australia's slight edge in experience and said, \"It's different here\u2014we're playing with the Duke ball at Lord's, and these aren't home conditions for either side. That said, they do have slightly more experience in these conditions than we do.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
