South Africa secured their first ICC World Test Championship (WTC) title by defeating Australia at Lord's. This victory marks a significant achievement, ending a 27-year wait for a major senior men's ICC trophy since the 1998 Champions Trophy. Led by Temba Bavuma, the team successfully chased a target of 282 in the fourth innings, with crucial contributions from Aiden Markram's 136 and Bavuma's resilient 66.
