WTC Final 2025: The World Test Championship (WTC) final match at Lord’s Cricket Ground in England has started from 11 June 2025. South Africa and Australia are face to face in this match. On the first day of this final match, which runs from June 11 to June 15, a record was made for the first time in the history of 145 years of cricket.
On June 11, both teams collided at Lord’s Cricket Ground, where South Africa won the toss and decided to bowl first. The Australian team, who came out to bat first, was all out for 212 runs. However, after this, Australia started well with the ball and took the first 4 wickets of Africa. In such a situation, the Australian team once again returned to this match. However, a unique record is made in this match.
Actually, a unique incident occurred in this match, when the first batsmen of both teams were dismissed at zero. Usman Khwaja, who came to bat first for Australia, played 20 balls but could not score a single run. Just as Usman was dismissed by Kagiso Rabada’s ball, Aidan Markram, who came out to bat first for South Africa, could not even open his account and was out to zero. Mitchell Starc showed him the way out of the field.
The incident, which took place on the first day of the final match between South Africa and Australia, was seen for the first time in the history of cricket. For the first time in the 561st Test match played in England, the first batsmen of both teams were dismissed for Duck in the first innings. On the other hand, after taking out history, it has been done for the tenth time in the history of 145 years. For the first time this record was made in MCG between Australia and India in 1977.
