South Africa 213/2 in 56.0 overs | AUS vs. SA Live Score, WTC Last 2025: South Africa has a prestigious Lords vs. Australia near Historical WTC
Protiaz ran Lords 3 at 213/2 at 213/2, chasing 282 to win against an experienced Australian side which has made a habit of winning big games. Markram, whose duck in his first innings was added to South Africa’s batting, replaced the Savior with an unbeaten century, which was as much about the skill as it was about flexibility.
His partner, Bavuma, fonds for most of his innings, but refused to throw it in the towel. In 65 Not Out, the skipper has adopted the fight that fans of South African cricket are longing to see when it matters the most.
History, however, is not easily conquered in Lord’s. Since 2005, with only one example, a target above 200 was successfully followed at this holy site. If the South Africa crosses the line, it will stand as the second largest run chase on the ground-a feat will be at stake after its short 138 in the innings.
Australia’s Mitchell Starc again saw ready to break the South African hearts. Their stubborn 58* pulled Australia’s second innings to 207, then they removed both the openers cheaply to stagger at 70/2. But this was the place where the phytback actually started.
Markram was positive with a ball, driving and pulling with the authority. Bavuma, despite the discomfort visible from its hamstring, combat Australia’s speed and spin with remarkable patience. Even the catch was dropped and missed by the Australians, as Steve Smith’s absence due to a finger injury left a large hole in her slip cordon and strategy.
Kagiso Rabada’s nine wickets in the match, including a significant strike to wrap Australia’s tail, give manageable targets to the batsmen who are now on the verge of hunting.
The fans of South Africa used to break heart at the last barrier, now wait for history. Should Markram and Bavuma complete the work, they will end 27 years of drought for an ICC Trophy and re -write the story of a team which once frozen under pressure, but is now long in the grand stage of cricket.
