Temba Bavuma's vital contributions with the bat in the 2025 WTC final

While Temba Bavuma played a key role as a captain in leading South Africa to the 2025 WTC triumph, he also made an important impact with the bat, making crucial contributions in both the innings.

Australia made 212 runs in the first innings and bowled South Africa out for just 138. Bavuma made 36 runs off 84 balls in their first innings, hitting four boundaries and a six. Australia were then bowled out for 207 in their second innings, which means that the Proteas had to chase down 282 runs in the final innings to win the Test and the final.

They had lost two early wickets in the chase but Aiden Markram and Temba Bavuma stitched together a match-winning 147-run stand that put them in complete control. While Markram scored a century (136), skipper Bavuma provided able support with a 134-ball 66, including five boundaries. The Proteas went on to scale the target down on the fourth day with five wickets remaining, scripting history.
