As Temba Bavuma's South Africa aims to lift the Mace in their inaugural World Test Championship Final, Pat Cummins' Australia seeks to defend their title, having triumphed over India in 2023 at the Oval.
“It’s been a month since we secured our spot in the ICC World Test Championship Final, and the support we've gotten from our fans has been incredible. There’s a palpable sense of excitement and pride in South Africa as we prepare to face one of the world’s top teams,” Bavuma expressed.
“Competing against Australia is always intense, and doing so at Lord’s—an iconic cricket venue—makes it even more special. We urge fans to grab their tickets and join us for what promises to be an unforgettable week of Test cricket,” he added.
Australia captain Pat Cummins remarked, "We are excited to return to Lord’s—it holds so many cherished memories. Our team has worked diligently to reach this milestone, which has been a focus throughout the WTC cycle. Hopefully, numerous Australians will come over or expats will rally to support us. The crowd support in Australia last summer was exceptional, so it would be wonderful to cap it off in London if we can."
