WTC Final 2025: What is the highest successful run-chase at Lord’s in Tests?
South Africa and Australia are battling it out in the World Test Championship (WTC) final at Lord’s Cricket Ground in London since June 11.
Australia took a 74-run first-innings lead and has overcame a collapse in the second innings to assume a significant advantage over the Proteas.
In tough batting conditions, it will be interesting to see how South Africa goes about chasing the total.
While the highest successful run-chase at the iconic Lord’s is an impressive 342 by West Indies against England in 1984, a target in excess of 200 has only been overhauled four times at the venue in Tests.
