SA vs AUS: Pitch Report
The surface at the Lord’s is likely to be a good bowling wicket. It generally offers a green top in test matches, which makes it tough for batting initially. If it rains, it can also make it a bit tough for the batters. Chasing can be hard in such conditions; hence, batting first should be a good option.

SA vs AUS: Dream11 Prediction – Who Will Win?
No doubt South Africa have been very consistent in the ICC WTC 2023-25 cycle. But, seven out of their eight wins came against teams who are ranked below five in the ongoing WTC cycle, whereas Australia have beaten top-tier teams. That is why we back Australia to win the ICC WTC final.
