Kagiso Rabada’s remarkable five-wicket performance was the highlight of Day 1 of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) final. Dale Steyn praised Rabada, stating that the bowler capitalizes on opportunities. Rabada’s spell saw him surpass Allan Donald as the fourth-highest wicket-taker in Tests. The Australian innings saw a recovery led by Steve Smith and Beau Webster, but Rabada and Jansen maintained pressure. Australia managed to score 212. South Africa’s batting struggled, losing early wickets and ending the day with a deficit of 169 runs.
