London: Eden Markram’s brilliant century was the basis for a South African five -wicket victory against Australia in the final of the World Test Championship at Lord’s on Saturday, ending the decades of Proteas Cricket Heart Break after winning the last world award.

South Africa set 282 to win, ending on the fourth day ended at 282-5 before lunch, batsman Markram fell to 136 after taking South Africa within six runs of the title.

“This is a special thing in many ways,” Proteas Captain Timba Boma said in front of him was an effective crowd of South African fans in the Lord’s.

“In addition, South Africa is also an opportunity to unite,” said Bumoma, who is now in the Spring Bocus Rugby World Cup winning Captain Seyya Kolyni becoming a South African captain who has won an important world award.

Proteas resumed at 213-2, which only requires 69 runs for victory.

Markram, sacked for the duck in the first innings, was 102 not out and was unbeaten on Baima 65, yet most of his innings spent roaming with a hamstring injury.

But South Africa has such a long history of folding that they cannot take anything against the serial winners and the WTC title holder Australia. South Africa reached only one alone final in the ODI International and T20 World Cup.

It was in Barbados in the last year’s T20 World Cup, when he lost to India despite his last 30 balls, he lost six wickets, with six wickets.

But South Africa, which was often labeled “chorders”, was labeled a failure to shut down knockout games, holding his nerves on Saturday as a largely non -civilian party succeeded where Alan Donald, Sean Polk, ABD Villiers and Jacques were like Jacques.

The route to the South African final was criticized, in which Proteas played only 12 Tests in the WTC cycle and no one against England or Australia.

But with a strong favorite to maintain Australia’s honor, South Africa impressed with the eighth test.

“I hope our performance will be supported as to why we were in the final,” said Boomoma.

“When we were batting, we could hear the horror using this horrible word.

Lords spreads in the turf when each of the players took their turn with silver and gold mattresses.

“It’s emotional, it’s been a long time,” Markram said, who was nominated the match of the match. “We have come close in the last two years and have not come to the line. The first is always the most difficult.”

Australia led 74 runs in the first innings but never completely removed from South Africa, Proteas fast bowler Kagiso Rabda returned the 9-110 outstanding figures.

“This was a bridge far away,” said New Zealand, after winning the opening final of 2021.

“He (South Africa) was terrific in this fourth innings. There was a lot in the wicket but he did not give us a chance.”

South Africa suffered a blow early Saturday when Bayoma, which added just one run to his night’s score, was caught behind the cumin to remove the 147 stand with Markram.

But Markram’s left-handed Quick Mitchell Starc (3-66) pulled the Cummins for four and brought the target to 50.

Australia took a new ball with only 14 runs with South Africa to get the new ball, and then Markram run Josh Hazel Wood to solve any nerves for four and three.

However, he cannot finish the work to a great extent. Hazel Wood, who was away from Hazelwood, ended a 207 -ball innings in the mid -wicket, including 14 fours.

Since Markram was returning to the pavilion, several Australian players shook his hand.

The winner was left near Kill Verin to target the run, as South Africa completed the second most chased to win the Test in the Lord’s, behind the West Indies 344-1 against England in 1984.
