South Africa, led by Temba Bavuma, showed what fans were waiting for the last several decades. In the final of WTC 2025, South Africa not only won the trophy by defeating defending champions Australia by 5 wickets, but also buried its ‘Chores’ tag in the pages of history.

Silence broken after 33 years, new chapter became
South Africa achieved a difficult target of 282 runs in just four days in this match played at Lord’s historic ground. This is the first time after the 1998 Champions Trophy that the team has won the title in a senior ICC tournament.

Rabada-Markeram became hero, Bavuma won heart
Kagiso Rabada, the hero of this historic victory, took a total of 9 wickets in the match, and Aden Markram, who played a brilliant 136 -run -winning innings amid pressure in the fourth innings. At the same time, captain Temba Bavuma held the team’s command by scoring 66 runs despite the Hamstring Injury.

Africa’s victory echoed in Lord’s
On the fourth day of the match, as soon as Kyle Vereyan scored a victorious run, there was a festive storm from the dressing room to the entire stadium. Breaking 27 -year -old drought, South Africa finally became the champion in cricket’s most prestigious format.

Avoid ‘Agra-Magar’, new script of victory written
Talking about history, it was very challenging to chase 282 runs in the fourth innings. Earlier in Lord’s, it had happened only 4 times that a team had successfully tried more than 200 runs. Despite this, the 147 -run partnership of Bavuma and Markram rejected every apprehension.

Markram’s innings set the path of the trophy
Although on the fourth day, Bavuma was dismissed by adding just 1 run, but by then both of them had taken South Africa to a strong position.
Markram stayed till the last time and when he was out after scoring 136 runs, the team was just 7 runs away from the victory. That is, the mission was completed.
