Saturday, Jun 14, 2025 10:00
Lords, London
Capacity: 30,000
Lord's today is not on its original site, being the third of three grounds that Lord established between 1787 and 1814. His first ground, now referred to as Lord's Old Ground, was where Dorset Square now stands. His second ground, Lord's Middle Ground, was used from 1811 to 1813 before being abandoned to make way for the construction through its outfield of the Regent's Canal. The present Lord's ground is about 250 yards (230 m) north-west of the site of the Middle Ground. The ground can hold 28,000 spectators. Proposals are being developed to increase capacity and amenity. As of December 2013, it was proposed that the ground be redeveloped at around £200 million over 14 years.

Historically, Australia and South Africa have contested 101 Test matches, with Australia leading the head-to-head by an overwhelming 54-26 margin. In the past 30 years, their encounters have been fiercely competitive. In the 1993/94 series in Australia, the teams drew 1-1. The 1996/97 series in South Africa saw Australia clinch a 2-1 victory. The 2008/09 series in Australia was notable as South Africa secured a historic 2-1 series win, marking their first Test series victory on Australian soil.
Australia reciprocated with a 2-1 win in South Africa later that season. The 2012/13 series in Australia ended with South Africa winning 1-0. In 2016/17, South Africa triumphed 2-1 in Australia, while the 2017/18 series in South Africa concluded with a 3-1 victory for the hosts. Their most recent series in 2022/23 saw Australia dominate with a 2-0 win on home soil.
Leading up to the WTC Final, both teams have showcased strong performances. Australia secured their spot with a commanding 3-1 series win over India in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. South Africa earned their place with consistent performances throughout the WTC cycle, culminating in a series win against Pakistan.
The WTC Final at Lord's promises to be a thrilling contest between two cricketing powerhouses. Australia, with their rich history and recent successes, will be keen to defend their title.
