The 2025 World Test Championship (WTC) final between South Africa and Australia will take place at Lord’s Cricket Ground from June 11 to June 15. A critical question leading up to the match is whether rain will play a role. The weather forecast for Wednesday indicates mostly cloudy conditions, with temperatures around 24°C. There is a 20% chance of rain, suggesting a low probability of significant disruption. Humidity will be moderate at 54%, and winds will be blowing at 16 km/h. Overall, conditions appear to be suitable for cricket, though the sky may be overcast.
South Africa, led by Temba Bavuma, will be hoping to win its first major ICC title in nearly three decades. Standing in their way are Australia, captained by Pat Cummins, who are the reigning WTC champions and seeking to add another title to their trophy cabinet. In the event of a tied match, a draw, or a washout due to rain (even after the reserve day), the World Test Championship mace will be shared between the two teams.
