WTC Final: Jansen, Rabada Pick Two Wickets Each As South Africa Reduce Australia To 67/4 At Lunch
ICC World Test Championship Final: Marco Jansen and Kagiso Rabada picked two wickets each as South Africa reduced Australia to 67/4 in 23.2 overs at lunch on Day One of the 2025 ICC World Test Championship Final at the iconic Lord’s here on Wednesday.
Right from the time South Africa skipper Temba Bavuma won the toss and chose to bowl first under gloomy overcast skies, the fast bowlers justified that decision by bowling tight lines and lengths, as well as extracting great movement, which in turn got Jansen and Rabada scalps. Along with some great catching, it meant that the first session truly belonged to the Proteas.
With Steve Smith still at the crease through 26 not out and lots of batting to follow, Australia can hope to fight through the collapse and put pressure back on an excellent South Africa bowling line-up in the second session.
