Australia vs South Africa, Final at London, WTC, Jun 11 2025 - Match Result

Yes, South Africa end their ICC title drought. It's their first title since 1998! Verreynne drives the wide full toss through cover point and his arms are aloft. Big pop from the crowd

High full toss surprises Verreynne, he tries to whip it through mid-on but is on the move while playing it and gets beaten by pace. Hit on the thigh pad and goes to the bowler's right

Wow, Verreynne goes across and looks to ramp, there's a sound as ball passes bat. Carey convinced it's caught behind but it's not given. Australia out of reviews, Ultra-Edge confirms that hit the glove! Verreynne made room before going across and tried to pick the fourth stump length ball over the keeper

Length on fourth, punched off the back foot to cover

Is that it? No, Marnus dives at cover to keep it to one. Scores are now tied! Length ball around off, Verreynne makes room like he was facing a spinner and slaps it on the move

Wait continues as he blocks this towards mid-off. Length ball around off

Driven back to the bowler. Pitched up, there for the drive, got it into the pitch

Driven, wait is the call. Mid-off goes to the right and stops it. 134ks fullish ball outside off, Verreynne tried to drive through extra, bat turned inside on impact

Guided wide of second slip. Length ball on fourth, was a defensive shot with an open face

Touch uppish but goes well to the right of the bowler and to mid-on. Fullish 143ks ball on off that was flicked

Quick single to mid-on, Cummins runs in but can't pick it up. Was a length ball at the stumps that was flicked softly

Swings in and it's driven to mid-off. Was full on off, bat close to pad

Whipped,, Head takes the catch at midwicket. Markram won't finish it off but has taken SA to the doorstep of victory. Australia's fielders come in to shake his hands, he trudges in disbelief. Gets a big ovation as he raises his bat close to the boundary. Was an anticlimactic dismissal, was hard to say it was out from Head's non-celebration. Felt like he fielded it but it was a low catch to the right. Was a hard-length ball on the pads that was whipped hard. Went off the toe

Length on fourth, guided to deep-backward point. Applause among the crowd and the balcony

Pitched up on fourth, driven to mid-off
