ABD Remains ‘quietly Confident’ On SA’s Chances In WTC Final Vs Australia
ICC World Test Championship Final: South Africa great AB de Villiers is quietly confident of his country’s chances in the final of the 2025 World Test Championship against Australia, the defending champions and No.1 ranked side in the format. South Africa and Australia will cross swords in a crucial match on June 11 at the Lord's in London to decide who takes the ICC’s coveted mace.
South Africa are aiming for their first ICC trophy in over two decades, while Pat Cummins-led Australia will be looking to retain the mace that they claimed after defeating India in the previous edition of the WTC final at the Oval in June 2023. “This is a massive moment for South African cricket—a final at the Lord's. The entire nation will be behind our team, and hopefully, we can cross the line.
“I'm excited for the challenge. It's a well-balanced side, and I'm quietly confident we can upset Australia—I say 'upset' because they're clearly the favourites for this ICC World Test Championship Final,” said de Villiers to Star Sports.
