So south africa

ICC World Test Championship: A jubilant Dale Steyn was over the moon about South Africa winning the 2025 ICC World Test Championship, saying that he was thrilled over the side finally winning a trophy they had been striving to get for a long time.

At the Lord’s, the Proteas ended 27 years of heartbreak in major cricket events to beat Australia by five wickets and win a major global ICC title. South Africa chasing down 282 was made possible by Aiden Markram making 136 while skipper Temba Bavuma hit 66.

“I felt like the support at Lord’s — especially from the English fans — was in South Africa’s favour too. Maybe it had a little to do with the Ashes rivalry, but that backing helped. This was a massive game, and the team played incredibly well. It was a perfectly structured Test match — when it mattered, the biggest names stood up.”
