One Step Away from Winning the Trophy
Will Temba and Co. Create History?
The World Test Championship (WTC) Final is set to begin soon. The match will be played at the iconic Lord’s ground on June 11, where two teams will battle for the coveted trophy. In this year’s final, defending champions Australia will take on South Africa. Temba and his team will be fighting to win their first WTC trophy against a mighty Australian side.
Under the leadership of Temba Bavuma, South Africa has been showing strong performances in Test cricket over the past few years. Despite the absence of several senior players, the young brigade has managed to hold the fort. South Africa, unbeaten in recent matches, looks ready to challenge Australia.
Previously, South Africa has often been labelled as “chokers” for their failures in ICC knockout games. However, this time, the management is focused on avoiding a repeat of past mistakes. To that end, South Africa began their practice camp earlier than Australia.
On the other hand, Australia is the reigning world champion team. Known for peaking in important matches, this side has already won all major ICC trophies. While a few players are not in top form, this team is known for staging strong comebacks in ICC events.
Both teams are quite strong on paper, and fans can expect a fierce contest in the final.
