South Africa clinched their first major global title, winning the World Test Championship final against Australia by five wickets at Lord's. Resuming their second innings needing 69 runs, South Africa faced setbacks with the dismissals of Bavuma and Stubbs. However, Aiden Markram's century (136) propelled them towards victory. David Bedingham and Kyle Verreynne steered South Africa over the line, achieving the joint second-highest successful run chase at Lord's in Test cricket history. This win makes South Africa the third team to claim the World Test Championship title.
