South Africa Vs Australia, ICC WTC Final 2025: Aiden Markram Guides Proteas To Historic Triumph

Breaking a 27-year-old jinx, South Africa finally won an ICC trophy for the first time since 1998, dethroning Australia as world Test champions at the Lord's on Saturday (June 14, 2025), the fourth day of the WTC 2025 final. Kyle Verreynne hit the winning run, but it was Aiden Markram's career-defining hundred that set up the Proteas' successful chase of a 282-run target with five wickets in hand.
