WTC Final 2025 Day 3, SA vs AUS Highlights: Aiden Markram’s sublime ton has helped South Africa to get 213/2 at stumps on Day 3 at Lords. Chasing 282 runs, the Proteas lost an early wicket as Ryan Rickelton edged one of Mitchell Starc early in the piece; however, since then, Markram and Wiaan Mulder initially and then Markram and Temba Bavuma till the end of Day’s play have shepherded the chase magnificently.
Apart from Mitchell Starc, who has picked up two wickets, the rest of the bowling did look toothless for Australia. Right at the end of the day, Nathan Lyon, thanks to footmarks created by Starc, was able to get a sharp turn; however, he could not convert that help into a wicket.
Earlier, Aiden Markram picked up the final wicket to bundle out Australia for 207. Starc was the top scorer with the bat too, with a half-century. However, the wicket was getting flatter by then, and it continued to do so as the game went on. Kagiso Rabada with the ball has picked up nine wickets in the game and four wickets in the second innings for South Africa.
