South Africa's cricket team is gearing up for a tough chase in the World Test Championship (WTC) final against Australia at Lord's. Despite the challenging conditions, batter David Bedingham has assured that his team is very confident of successfully chasing down whatever target is set by Australia. The match has been dominated by fast bowlers on a seamer-friendly pitch, making run-chases particularly difficult. Australia scored 211 in the 1st innings with SA being bowled out for 138. In the 3rd innings, Australia were 144/8 at stumps on Day 2. The ongoing WTC final presents a historic opportunity for Temba Bavuma's team to end their ICC title drought since the 1998 Knockout Trophy. However, they have often faltered under pressure in crucial matches, such as the 2024 T20 World Cup final. The current run-chase looks particularly challenging with fast bowlers dominating play on a seamer-friendly pitch at Lord's. Australian captain Pat Cummins, after Kagiso Rabada, became the second bowler to earn a spot on the honors board at Lord's. His remarkable 6/28 dismantled the South African batting lineup. However, Bedingham remained unfazed by Cummins's performance and expressed confidence in his team's ability to seize this opportunity and become world champions. There's a lot of belief in the dressing room, he said after the day's play. South African seamers made full use of the overcast conditions in the afternoon to rattle Australia. At one point, they had Australia reeling at 73/7 before Alex Carey and Mitchell Starc revived their innings. Bedingham said this performance by his bowlers would definitely play a major role in their quest for victory. When they started batting in their third innings, we would've definitely taken 220 for 8, he said. Cummins admitted that Australia would have preferred a few more wickets in the shed, but he emphasized that batting remains difficult. He said, The trend of the game is the runs are coming down. It's still pretty difficult out there. Despite some top-order disappointments, Cummins believes anything over 200 would be a challenging target to chase down. Despite the wicket procession and collapses in all three innings, Cummins defended the Lord's pitch for providing a good balance between bat and ball. I think it's pretty close to 50-50. It's a pretty good Test match. That's the beauty you get [where] all Test matches look a little bit different, but whenever there's a pretty good balance between bat and ball, it's always a pretty good match. This game, some guys have got themselves in and looked pretty comfortable out there and obviously a lot of other guys haven't, so it's been a pretty good balance, he said.
