After two longs years of battle, the iconic Lord's Cricket Stadium is all set to host the ultimate decider for the Test mace. While for Australia, it is the second time they are up for the finals, South Africa will be playing this as their first since the inception of the World Test Championship in 2021. The Australian captain, Pat Cummins, had already clarified that there is no pressure for them to defend their title. But for the Proteas, it's the time to shed off their "chokers" tag Meanwhile, South Africa captain Temba Bavuma elected to bowl first, citing overhead conditions and backing his team’s well-balanced combination. He noted the emotional value of playing at Lord’s in a final. Australia skipper Pat Cummins said he was happy to bat first, calling the pitch good and praising the team's strong preparation. He added that experience from previous finals helps them stay calm and focused, aiming to enjoy the big occasion. Here's what the captains said at the toss: Temba Bavuma: Will have a bowl first looking at the overhead conditions. Looks like a good pitch. Too late to change the team, we have selected the best combination. All 15 of us are confident. We all have had some allegiance to Lord's, the emotion will hit us when the anthems stat playing. It is a massive final, it should be a spectacle out here. Pat Cummins: Happy to bat first. Looks like a good wicket with a few clouds. Prep wise it has been unreal, 15 guys working very hard for that title. (On the hectic schedule) You get used to it the more you are playing, we have had about 10 days prep and we are ready. Doesn't feel like any extra pressure. We've been here before and we've won it. This week is all about enjoying the moment. Read also: WTC Final 2025: What If Rain Washes Out AUS vs SA Clash?
