WATCH: Kevin Pietersen's Old 'Never Ever Count South Africa Out' Prediction Video Goes Viral After Proteas Defeat Australia In WTC 2025 Final

WTC 2025 Final: In one of the rarest events in the history of cricket, Australia were outsmarted by South Africa in the summit clash of the World Test Championship. Cricket fans and experts are not used to seeing the Aussies get outplayed in the summit clash of any ICC event, but the Proteas did the impossible. The South Africans have always been termed as chokers, but they can now do away with the tag after their iconic win against the Aussies.

Many believed that the South Africans, led by Temba Bavuma, took the easier path to reach the World Test Championship (WTC) Finals. South Africa played just 12 Test matches in the 2025 cycle, but they have now silenced their critics by beating the Aussies on the grandest stage of them all. South Africa won their second ICC trophy after a span of 27 odd years, and this might be the start of a new, glorious cricketing chapter in their country's history.
