As current world Test champions and number 1 ranked side, Australia head to the Home of Cricket as heavy favorites. Pat Cummins leads a team that hasn't tasted a series loss since early 2023 and has enjoyed recent wins over New Zealand, Sri Lanka and, most notably, India.
South Africa may be the final's surprise package, but their impressive form in this WTC cycle earned them the top spot in the table. You have to go back a year-and-a-half to find their last loss in a Test match, and there's good reason why pace duo Kagiso Rabada and Marco Jansen are currently in the top 10 ranked bowlers in the world.
South Africa looked skywards on Day 1 and sensibly put Australia into bat. Kagiso Rabada and Marco Jansen were soon in the wickets, taking eight between them as the Aussies were skittled for just 212.
But the first rule of cricket is to wait for both teams to bat before judging who's on top, and Australia tore through the Proteas batting line-up to end 74 ahead at the halfway stage. Captain Cummins was the main man taking six wickets, including his 300th in Tests in the process.
