How gloomy conditions and skillful pacers from both South Africa and Australia, such as Kagiso Rabada, Lungi Ngidi, and Pat Cummins, dictated the match's flow rather than batting prowess or pitch conditions. This low-scoring game was a testament to classic Test cricket, where relentless pressure and precise seam movement were paramount. Ultimately, the WTC final will be remembered for its celebration of bowling as an art form, harkening back to an earlier era of the sport.
