Australia's champion pedigree faces SA's gritty ambition in cricket's WTC final
The Political and Business Daily
|June 10, 2025
WHEN it comes to major cricket finals, Australia is in a league of its own.
-
Only Australia has won all four men's global trophies. It is hard to beat in finals, having won 10 of 13 across the 50-over World Cup, 20-over World Cup, Champions Trophy, and World Test Championship. And let's not get started on the women's team, which is even more dominant.
The men go for world title No. 11 from Wednesday in the WTC final against South Africa at neutral Lord's.
That ruthless focus Australia brings on the biggest stages is in marked contrast to South Africa, a perennial underachiever. The Proteas have won just one of cricket's major international titles, the Champions Trophy's inaugural predecessor in 1998, when most of the current Proteas were toddlers.
