👉 In Detail:
In a word, everyone agrees — the real beauty of cricket lies in Test cricket.

The fierce contest between top bowlers and elite batsmen has already been on full display during the first two days of this thrilling final, witnessed by the passionate crowd at Lord’s in London and millions watching from around the world.

Just how iconic cricket can be is evident when you watch reigning champions Australia take on South Africa at the historic Lord’s.

To true cricket connoisseurs, Test cricket remains the most enjoyable format of the game.

Over the past two days, the ongoing final has showcased fiery fast bowling and exquisite seam movement, pushing the batsmen’s technique and temperament to the ultimate "test" – a true hallmark of this format.

With 28 wickets having fallen in just two days — Australia bowled out in the first innings and down to 8 wickets in the second, while South Africa managed only 138 in their first innings — Australia now holds a slim lead of just 218 runs with only 2 wickets in hand.

Unless something extraordinary happens, today’s play is very likely to decide the Test World Cup Champion.
