SA Faces Challenging Chase in WTC Final, Rabada Makes Lord's History
South Africa is playing a big cricket match at Lord's.
They need to score many runs to win.
Only a few times before has a team scored so many runs to win at this place.
The best ever was when another team scored a lot of runs in 1984.
A South African player named Kagiso Rabada did very well, and now his name is on a special board at Lord's, just like a famous player from the past.
South Africa faces a challenging target in the ICC World Test Championship 2025 final at Lord's.
Only three successful chases of over 250 runs have occurred at Lord's in Test history.
West Indies holds the highest successful chase at Lord's with 342 runs in 1984.
