The 2023-2025 World Test Championship (WTC) was the third edition of the premier Test cricket tournament and it came to an end on Saturday, June 14 with South Africa defeating Australia in the final at Lord's. South Africa ended a 27-year-long wait for an ICC trophy by winning the World Test Championship (WTC) 2025 title. This is the maiden WTC title and second ICC trophy for South Africa. Their last ICC title came in 1998 when South Africa won the inaugural edition of the Champions Trophy. As the 2023-2025 WTC cycle comes to an end, let's take a look at some of the top individual performances, noticeable records and more.

The World Test Championship (WTC) final will be played between Australia and South Africa from Wednesday, June 11 at Lord's Cricket Ground, London. A day ahead of the mega clash, Australia captain Pat Cummins on Tuesday announced his team's playing XI and explained the reasons behind the selection. Here's Australia's playing XI for WTC final against South Africa:
