Australia has won more than 50% of the games, with 54 wins registered to their name, whereas South Africa has succeeded in winning 26 games. The remaining six matches have ended in a draw.

As far as the results of the last five Tests between the former and current number one test team are concerned, both teams have won two games each, while one game ended in a draw.

South Africa last won a test match against Australia in 2018, courtesy of a 3-1 series win at home.

Australia, on the other hand, won the last series played between the two countries

Both South Africa and Australia have an equal chance of winning the 2025 WTC final, taking into account the composition of the two teams.

Having said a major factor that gives South Africa a little edge over the defending WTC winners is the form of the team.

The majority of the Australian players were busy in the IPL and haven't played a test match since the fifth and final of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against India in the first week of January.

South Africa, on the other hand, got some much-needed practice in a four-day game against a Zimbabwean XI before the WTC final.

Another issue that Australia might face is with the selection of their best paying XI, as one of the most highly debated topics in Australia leading into the WTC final is who will open with Usman Khawaja.

If we go by the names present in the squad, the most obvious choice is that of Marnus Labuschagne, but Australians are known to throw surprises, so it is possible we might see someone like Travis Head at the top.

The South Africa vs Australia rivalry has witnessed a number of high-intensity matches in the longest format of the game.

The most recent one took place in Brisbane in 2022, which was a low-scoring thriller and saw the fall of 34 wickets in two days, with Australia clinching a win in the end.
