WTC Final: Starc Makes 58 As Australia Set South Africa A Target Of 282 For Championship Win
ICC World Test Championship: Mitchell Starc made a vital 58, his first Test fifty since 2019, as Australia set South Africa a challenging target of 282 to win the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) final after making 207 in 65 overs of their second innings on day three at Lord’s.
On a day where the sun shined bright and conditions eased out for batting, it meant Starc, who was dropped on 14 in the final over of day two’s play, was at his resolute best to take the lead past 280, while sharing a 59-run last-wicket partnership with an equally solid Josh Hazlewood.
For South Africa, who bowled 22 extras, including 10 no-balls, Kagiso Rabada picked 4-59 while Lungi Ngidi returned with figures of 3-38. Resuming day three from 144/8, Rabada struck by trapping Nathan Lyon lbw, with the ball tracking showing the ball would hit the top of the leg stump.
