Australia vs. South Africa Live Score, ICC WTC Final 2025: 2. 5.
The day began with the South Africa Republic at 43/4, and although Temba Bavum (36) and David Bedingham (45) sewed a short resistance of 64 runs, it was Australian captain Pat Cummins, who stole the show. Cummins created a remarkable charm of four goal for one run after a log cabin, dismantled South Africa to 138. He ended up 6-28 and claimed his 300. The test goal and etched his name on Lord’s honor.
The second shifts of Australia, however, soon descended into chaos. Kagiso Rabada removed Khawaja and Green in the same, while Lungi Ngidi bowed to the fiery charm that corresponded to Cummins and Webster, so Australia left to 73/7.
Alex Carey and Mitchell Starc then mounted the critical stand of the eighth goal of 61. Carey’s Composed 43 was vital, but fell into Rabada just before the stumps. The old man remained undefeated at the age of 16 and was lucky to survive when Marco Janann dropped Sitter in the daily finals.
Australia’s management may already be decisive, but South Africa will believe that fast goals at 3rd day could keep them alive. The playground offers bouches and seams, but not too much – it increases questions about the launch techniques from both sides.
Previously, Cummins’ fiery explosion ruptured by the lower order of South Africa and claimed the last five goals for just 12 runs. His release of the Bavum, Verreynne, Jansen and Rabada in rapid succession underlined his championship in favorable conditions. South African shifts disintegrated from 126/5 to 138.
The Australian approach to building their slim first lead 74 was aggressive, but faulty. Beau Webster, their first shooter, fell LBW on Ngidi, while Marnus Labuschagne and Steven Smith also died without converting.
Despite the bloodshed by the Australian 218-Runa advantage of up to 3. The day could prove to be crucial. Yet, with just two goals in hand, the span of mistake remains slim. One day the cricket is waiting for the baton to go to South African dough for the final act.
