The final of the World Test Championship 2025 is being played at the Lord’s cricket ground. Australia has given South Africa a massive target of 282 runs. It will be interesting to see whether SA will be able to compete their target or not, however, before that, let’s take a look at the highest run-chases at the venue.
1) West Indies:
The highest successful run chase at the Lord’s was done by West Indies. The team batted brilliantly and chased 342 runs against England in 1984. This was the biggest run chase in Test match at the venue.
2) England:
England team is at the second place in the list. They played brilliantly against New Zealand and successfully chased down 282 runs during the fourth innings in 2004 at the Lord’s.

3) England:
England have their name once again in the list, and it was once again while facing New Zealand. In year 2022, the English team successfully chased their target of 277 against the Kiwis during the fourth innings.
4) England:
England team also has their name in the fourth place in the list. While facing New Zealand in 1965, they successfully chased down their target of 216 during the fourth innings.
South Africa have chance to script history:
The above mentioned records show that the last 200+ chase was in year 2022. In such a situation, South Africa have a great chance to script history. If the team manages to successfully complete their chase without losing any more than 2 wickets, they will secure the second place. However, if SA loses 4 or more wickets and successfully chase their target, they will secure their place in the third position in the list.
