Australia’s legendary spinner Nathan Lyon believes that despite having the experience of winning ICC trophies in all formats, it is going to be a different challenge for his team to face South Africa in the final of the World Test Championship as the match will be played in foreign conditions with the Duke ball.
Australia will enter the WTC Final, that is to be held at Lord’s from June 11 as the defending champions. Their team includes players who have won the 2015 ODI World Cup, 2021 T20 World Cup and 2023 ODI World Cup apart from the previous WTC Final.
The star spinner said, “South Africa have got some world class batters and obviously they’ve got some unbelievable bowlers there as well so it’s going to be a good challenge and obviously it’s a one-off Test match.”

Speaking about the conditions that England differs from Australia, Lyon said, “It’s going to be different challenge and with foreign conditions and the Dukes ball. It’s going to be two best bowling attacks going at each other which is another exciting thing so it’s going to be a good challenge for all batters.”
South Africa’s squad for WTC Final:
Temba Bavuma (c), Tony de Zorzi, Aiden Markram, Wiaan Mulder, Marco Jansen, Kagiso Rabada, Keshav Maharaj, Lungi Ngidi, Corbin Bosch, Kyle Verreynne, David Bedingham, Tristan Stubbs, Ryan Rickelton, Senuran Muthusamy, Dane Paterson.
