Marnus Labuschagne of Australia (Photo by Paul Harding/Getty Images) Australian cricketer Marnus Labuschagne expressed his optimism about Test cricket’s future ahead of the World Test Championship final against South Africa at Lord’s on Wednesday. The 30-year-old, who was part of Australia’s maiden WTC victory against India in 2023, emphasized the importance of countries producing quality players to maintain the format’s tradition.Labuschagne shared his thoughts on the World Test Championship format and its impact on the game’s competitiveness.“It is an exciting tournament. It means every Test you play has something on it, it brings all the countries into play, and anyone can make the final. You’re playing for a trophy at the end of a two-year cycle. I think it has worked great. Two years ago, when we beat India, it was awesome. I’m looking at it from a player’s perspective, and it looks like the game is in a great place,” he said. Gautam Gambhir sends stern message after Bengaluru tragedy The Australian batter highlighted the role of major cricket nations in sustaining Test cricket’s popularity.“Every time Test cricket is on, people want to watch it. India, Australia and England are probably carrying a bit of the load of Test cricket, but we really want to see all the countries keep producing great players and being part of upholding such an amazing tradition of Test cricket,” he added.Quiz: Who’s that IPL player?Labuschagne’s Test career began notably at Lord’s in 2019, where he became cricket’s first concussion substitute. His career flourished afterward, achieving an impressive average of 63.43 after 14 Tests and reaching the top spot in ICC Test rankings for six months starting December 2021.The South African-born cricketer also discussed his long-standing relationship with his club.“I love playing with the guys here; they are close friends, and I love the environment at the club. The benefit of having a relationship with the club for six years is that you have the perks of being able to call the director of cricket and say: This is what it looks like, is there a chance we can line this up?” he said.He further emphasized the advantages of his commitment to the club.“Without that relationship, there might be some hesitancy, or you might not get someone in for two games. But that’s the benefit of the long-term commitment I have shown over the last six years,” he added.

Pat Cummins of Australia (Photo by Philip Brown/Getty Images) NEW DELHI: Tom Moody, the former Australian cricketer, asserts that Australia’s success in high-stakes matches has been consistent across generations, demonstrating exceptional performance levels ahead of their World Test Championship (WTC) final against South Africa.The ICC’s prestigious mace will be contested between South Africa and Australia from June 11 at Lord’s.Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW!Whilst South Africa seeks their first ICC silverware in more than 20 years, Australia, under Pat Cummins’ leadership, aims to maintain possession of the mace they secured by defeating India in the previous WTC final at the Oval in June 2023.“The Australians have built that reputation through consistent success in major tournaments. When it comes to ICC events, Australia somehow elevates their game to another level as a team. They genuinely embrace the challenges of tournament cricket and thrive under the pressure of these high-stakes matches. Gautam Gambhir sends stern message after Bengaluru tragedy “It’s also about confidence. Historically, many of their players have won multiple ICC tournaments, and they’ve grown up watching previous generations achieve the same success. That winning mentality is ingrained in them,” Moody commented on Star Sports.The Proteas have demonstrated excellent form in ICC events over the past two years, reaching the semi-finals of both the ICC Men’s World Cup and ICC Champions Trophy, the final of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, and now qualifying for the ICC WTC final.According to Moody, Australia possesses a marginal advantage over South Africa, primarily due to their extensive experience in high-pressure encounters.“You need to trust your instincts and make sure that you sort of cut out the negativity of the fact that you haven’t played Test cricket for several months, or you’re suddenly turning up in England and you’ve got completely different conditions. That’s the nature of Test cricket, and that’s the beauty of Test cricket, being able to adapt and evolve on the move to be able to respond when you need to. So, I think both teams will be very aware of that. I think Australia has got a slight advantage purely because they’ve played more big matches than South Africa have over recent years,” he concluded.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 :​ ​​Australia vs South Africa 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : February 25, Tuesday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 14:30 PM IST​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, Rawalpindi, Pakistan 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 7th ODI 2025 Australia and South Africa both go in search of their second successive win in this year’s ICC Champions Trophy in this clash in Rawalpindi! Australia vs South Africa TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. AUS vs RSA Match Prediction & Analysis Both teams came into their opening fixtures needing to find some confidence after suffering injuries to key pace bowlers and struggling in this format of late but wins by five wickets over England and by 107 runs over Afghanistan mean Australia and South Africa are both in strong positions ahead of this Group B clash on Tuesday. Games between these sides are rarely dull, from the 1999 Cricket World Cup semi-final to the ‘sandpapergate’ incident in Test cricket during the last decade, these are two teams who like to play hard. TEAMS PREVIEW Australia Preview It is not often that a team conceded 351 runs in an ODI but then goes on and wins the game with 15 balls remaining but that is exactly what Australia did when they played their great rivals England on Saturday. Although they would like to have conceded fewer runs, there were some fine performances with Ben Dwarshuis continuing to show that he is an international level cricketer by dismissing both Phil Salt and Jamie Smith in the powerplay. Adam Zampa produced another impressive display of spin bowling and Nathan Ellis showed the value of variations in keeping the run-rate down. South Africa Preview There could be a selection dilemma for South Africa ahead of this game after Ryan Rickelton came into the team in place of the injured Heinrich Klaasen against Afghanistan and hit 103 runs from 106 balls at the top of the order! With that century contributing to a victory by 107 runs, it could be that South Africa feel they can afford to give Klaasen a few more days rest but if not then Tony de Zorzi’s place at the top of the order could be in danger. That’s because there were also useful half-centuries from Temba Bavuma, Rassie van der Dussen and Aiden Markram in a fine batting display. Weather Conditions It does not look like being a particularly bright and sunny day in Rawalpindi on Tuesday. It will be cloudy and humid throughout with a good chance of rain in both innings. AUS vs RSA Pitch Report The pitch in Rawalpindi is a good one for batting so with the overhead conditions favouring the bowlers it could be a leveller! Whoever bats first will be looking to post a total of 300+. Toss: To Bowl Of the last five ODIs at this venue, only one has been won by the team batting first without the use of a super-over! And with the conditions looking good for bowlers, we expect both teams to want to chase.

Get to Know Who will win Australia vs South Africa World Cup 2023 match and toss Prediction with Head to Head stats, Playing 11, K9Win , Betting Rates, Live score & winning percentage. MATCH: Australia vs South AfricaDATE: Oct 12, 2023TIME: 14:00 IST / 8:30 GMTVENUE: Ekana Cricket Stadium – Lucknow, India TOURNAMENT: Cricket World Cup AUS vs RSA Betting Tips David Warner has a brilliant ODI record and the left-handed opener looked very comfortable against a strong India bowling attack on Sunday before being dismissed for 41 runs from 52 balls. He hit six fours in his innings as he continued his excellent form from the India ODI series where he hit three half-centuries. We are backing Warner to be Australia’s highest run scorer against South Africa. Josh Hazlewood was the pick of Australia’s bowlers in the defeat in Chennai and he bowled a maiden as well as taking 3-38 from his nine overs. The right-arm quick bowler is our tip for Australia’s top wicket taker in Lucknow.Quinton de Kock has now hit 18 hundreds in this format and he comes into this clash with Australia looking to back up his 84-ball century against Sri Lanka. The left-handed keeper-batter will have been disappointed to not kick on with his innings in that game but he has the perfect opportunity to go again in this match. de Kock is our pick for South Africa’s highest run scorer against Australia. Kagiso Rabada took 2-50 against Sri Lanka and the right-arm pace bowler loves nothing more than testing himself against the biggest names in the sport. Rabada is a strong choice for South Africa’s top wicket taker in this clash.After hitting 106 and 78 in the ODI series in South Africa last month, we recommend selecting David Warner to hit over 31.5 runs in this clash. Australia vs South Africa TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Euro Sports Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the K9WIn Cricket Exchange India and website. AUS vs SA ODI Match Prediction & Betting Tips, Cricket World Cup 2023 Match 10 of the 2023 Cricket World Cup brings Australia and South Africa together in Lucknow at the Ekana Cricket Stadium. Australia, who have won the Cricket World Cup on five previous occasions, got off to a losing start by 6 wickets with 52 balls remaining against India in Chennai on Sunday. South Africa were excellent in their opening match of the tournament as they beat Sri Lanka by 102 runs at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi on Saturday. Read on as we preview this match. The game gets underway at 14:00 local time. Australia had their moments in the defeat to India but were unable to perform well enough across the game to get off to a winning start in the 2023 Cricket World Cup. Although they have a poor recent record against South Africa, we expect the Australians to up their game for this match. South Africa are full of confidence in this format and have players at full fitness delivering with both bat and ball. There will be plenty of self belief in the group after they beat Australia 3-2 in the recent ODI series and they will certainly fancy their chances in Lucknow. AUS vs SA Match Toss PredictionTwo of the last three ODIs have been won by the team batting first and we predict that both captains will choose to bat first in this game if they win the toss. AUS vs SA Pitch ReportThis Ekana Cricket Stadium pitch has always offered something for both the spinners and the quick bowlers. However, it is a new surface after being relaid earlier this year so a par score is hard to predict. Lucknow Weather ReportThe forecast is for sunshine until sundown in Lucknow. The temperature will be in the 30s early in the game before dropping to the high 20s for the final part of the match.
