South Africa has officially qualified for the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) Final 2025, marking their first appearance in the tournament’s ultimate clash. They secured their spot after a dramatic two-wicket victory over Pakistan in Centurion. This win followed an impressive WTC cycle in which South Africa achieved a 66.67% points percentage (PCT) through seven victories in 11 matches.
The Proteas’ consistent performances, including a 2-0 series victory over Sri Lanka earlier in the cycle, were instrumental in surpassing other strong contenders like India and Australia. South Africa will now face the second finalist at Lord’s in June 2025. The battle for the remaining spot is still underway, with India and Australia vying for qualification. The ongoing Border Gavaskar trophy between India and Australia is heating up now.
