Get ready for the big one as Australia takes on South Africa in the third World Test Championship final. This one’s at the famous Lord’s Cricket Ground, the mecca of cricket.
On one side we have Australia, a team known for their never say die spirit. On the other, South Africa are looking to make history and win the WTC against all odds. With everything on the line, let’s look at some records that players from both teams can break.
1. Travis Head can surpass Virat Kohli. This Australian batter has been a star in ICC finals, scoring 318 runs in three innings. If he scores 94 runs in the WTC final, he’ll go past Kohli’s 411 runs to become the all-time leading run scorer in ICC finals.
2. Cummins and Starc are chasing Bumrah. Jasprit Bumrah has 77 wickets in the current WTC cycle, but Australian bowlers Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc are close behind with 73 and 72 wickets respectively. Cummins needs five wickets and Starc six to surpass Bumrah.
3. Temba Bavuma can break these two records. The South African captain can become his country’s most successful batter and captain in the WTC. Bavuma needs 46 runs to beat Dean Elgar’s 1835 runs. And if he leads South Africa to their first WTC title, he’ll have more wins than Elgar’s eight as captain.
4. Nathan Lyon can break Ashwin’s record. Ravichandran Ashwin has the most five-wicket hauls (11) in World Test Championship history. If Lyon gets a fifer in this final, he’ll break that record.
