WTC Final: 5 Key Players To Watch Out For
Australia will defend their WTC title against South Africa at Lord's from June 11.
Updated Jun 9, 2025, 16:29 IST
Travis Head
Travis Head is a game-changer. He may not be very consistent but on his day, he will single-handedly win the game for his team. Head scored a hundred in the last WTC and will be a threat for South Africa.
Steve Smith
Smith will hold the key for Australia. He regained lost form in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy and slammed two centuries. With runs behind his game, the veteran will be hard to stop for the Proteas. Like Head, Smith also scored a hundred in WTC Final vs India.
Temba Bavuma
This will be the biggest game of Bavuma's career and he will be determined to do well. It won't be easy by any means, but he has enough in his arsenal to play a match winning innings for South Africa.
Josh Hazlewood
Hazlewood will lead Australia's pace attack. The conditions in England help swing bowlers, and Hazlewood will be the biggest threat for the Proteas, even bigger than Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins.
Kagiso Rabada
Rabada is a lethal bowler and is capable of blowing away a batting lineup. Australia's batting looks solid, but an on-song Rabada could make life tough for them.
