WTC Final: Bedingham Helps SA Reduce Deficit To 91 Runs After Cummins Takes Out Bavuma
ICC World Test Championship Final: David Bedingham managed to get over his share of 'plays and misses' to be unbeaten on 39 as South Africa reached 121/5 in 49 overs and trailed Australia by 91 runs at lunch on the second day of the five-day 2025 ICC World Test Championship Final at Lord's on Thursday.
Resuming from 43/4, South Africa amassed 78 runs in the morning session on Day Two, with Australia captain Pat Cummins taking out his Proteas counterpart Temba Bavuma. A lot will ride on Bedingham and Kyle Verreynne (11 not out) in ensuring South Africa inch closer to surpassing Australia’s first innings total of 212.
As compared to his stoic nature in the final session on Day One, Bavuma got going by hammering Mitchell Starc for two drives, before Bedingham unfurled an on-drive off the left-arm pacer. On 17, Bavuma was trapped lbw by Josh Hazlewood, but he survived as replays showed an inside edge.
