The ICC World Test Championship (WTC) Final will take place on June 11 at Lord’s Cricket Ground in London, featuring heavyweights Australia and South Africa. The Aussies will enter as the defending champions, while South Africa will search for their maiden title in the WTC. Let us check out the Lord’s Cricket Ground pitch & weather report ahead of the SA vs. AUS WTC 2025 final.
Lord’s pitch report
The pitch at Lord’s for the World Test Championship Final 2025 is expected to behave like a classic English surface. Early in the match, especially on Day 1, seamers are likely to enjoy substantial movement off the surface, aided by the atmospheric conditions. If the batting team can navigate the initial tricky phase, the pitch is expected to settle down, making stroke play more rewarding as the match progresses.
However, by the fourth and fifth days, the surface is likely to dry out and offer assistance to spinners, bringing them into contention. Overall, it’s a pitch that offers a balanced contest between bat and ball but heavily rewards tactical discipline and patience.
SA vs AUS WTC final weather report
As for the weather on Day 1, conditions are forecast to be favorable for uninterrupted play. The temperature will hover around a pleasant 23 to 25 degrees Celsius, and the skies are expected to be partly sunny, with some cloud cover lingering through the day. Importantly, the chances of rain are minimal—only around 8%—which is excellent news for fans and players alike.
Humidity levels will be moderate, and a gentle breeze from the east-southeast will help maintain comfortable playing conditions throughout. All signs point to a thrilling and competitive start to the WTC Final under nearly ideal weather conditions.
