Aus vs sa wtc final 2025: Speed kings Cagiso Rabada and Marco Janson bowled deadly and bowled Australia to 212 runs in the first innings in the first innings in the third session on Wednesday in the final of the World Test Championship against South Africa.
Rabada took Australia to knees with five wickets for 51 runs and Jansan with three wickets for 49 runs. However, Steve Smith and Bu Webster scored a half -century to upheld Australia from the first poor session and reach 190/5 in 50 overs. Australia was visible in a pleasant situation at this time, but in front of Rabada and Jansan, the defending champion team lost their last five wickets by adding just 20 runs and their first innings was reduced to 212 runs in 56.4 overs.
In the first session, compared to razing at the speed of Rabada and Jansan, Smith and Webster easily rotated a strike, shared a 79 -run partnership and set up a lot of boundaries and helped Australia return to the match.
While Smith scored 66 runs off 112 balls with the help of ten fours and set a new record of the most runs scored by the visiting batsman in the Test at the prestigious site, the webster overcame the initial struggles and scored 72 runs off 92 balls with the help of 11 fours.
At the beginning of the session, Smith batting outside the leg-stump and hit three boundaries off Rabada and Jansan with his trademark exaggerated back-and-cross movement. But the webusters were completely helpless, struggling to stay in difficult situations. Kismet supported him and Webster stayed in two overs twice.
On four runs, he was first selected on the outer edge and Janson was out lbw, but the ball tracking showed the umpire’s call on the impact. Then, against Rabada on eight runs, the webster was clearly lbw out, but South Africa feared that it was an internal edge, so they did not take a review. It was disappointing for him that the ball in the replays appeared to be hitting the stumps and if South Africa had taken a review, he would have been dismissed.
Smith finally completed his half -century in 76 balls by slashing Rabada’s ball for four runs at the backward point, before he and now the webster scored a boundary off the balls of Lungi Engidi and Keshav Maharaj.
But while trying to hit the ball of Aiden Markram above the covers, Smith was able to hold the ball only on the outer edge and was caught in the first slip in his third attempt. Although webster was playing dangerously, he scored his second Test half -century off 69 balls and ensured that the first session for Australia was also fantastic after being disappointing. Spinner Keshav Maharaj dismissed Alex Carrie at the beginning of the third season. Carrie scored 23 runs. Captain Pat Cummins was bowled by Rabada.
Rabada also hunted webster again. Jansan bowled Nathan Leone and Rabada bowled Mitchell Starc and covered Australia’s innings.
Earlier, Rabada and Janson took two wickets each in the morning session, making South Africa score Australia to 67/4 in 23.2 overs. Ever since South African captain Temba Bavuma won the toss and decided to bowl first in the sky surrounded by clouds, the fast bowlers proved that decision right by bowling with a tight line and length and taking out the best movement.
Rabada and Jansan paid attention to their length from the beginning and gave a tough competition to Australia. Rabada shook Australia by dismissing Usman Khwaja and Cameron Green in a gap of four balls in the seventh over. He came from the first round the wicket and took out Khwaja’s age and caught him in the first slip, which was dismissed for zero at 20 balls.
Rabada again dismissed Green, the Green’s age was caught by a low-diving third slip, causing the batsman to return to the Test after about a year and was out for four runs. Lungi Ngidi and Vian Mulder, who returned to the Test match after 10 months, paid attention to their line and length to give a tough competition to Smith and Labushen.
Although Smith set up a few boundaries, South Africa continued the strike, as Labushen threw a ball of Yansan backwards which went to the keeper. At lunch, Jesan made the Travis Head caught on leg and made another great moment, making it a great session of Test cricket for South Africa.
