New Delhi: East India Spinner Harbhajan Singh Citing his better familiarity with English conditions as a major factor, has supported Australia to maintain the World Test Championship (WTC) title in the upcoming final against South Africa at Lord’s.Under the leadership of Pat CumminsAustralia has targeted to become the first team to win the WTC title twice, defeating India at the Oval in the second edition of the tournament in 2023.Conversely, South Africa, captained by Temba Bavuma, is set to play in his first WTC final. Protiaz topped the standing after winning seven of their last eight matches. While this is his first presence in a red-ball ICC final, he has recently depicted the ICC knockout events.“Australia will be ready. They have played a lot of cricket in England – Ashes, the last WTC Final – and this experience will count. They understand these situations better than South Africa. Also, they are a champion side.The former spinner appreciated the leadership of Pat Cummins, describing him as a “very special captain” to the Australian side.

“Cummins is one of the leaders who bring everyone together. Even more importantly he is a proven match-winner with great command in the dressing room. When your team is respected and rallies are behind you, you win more matches. That makes him a very special captain for Australia.”Echoing Harbhajan’s feelings, former India batsman and commentator Akash Chopra also identified Cummins as the “biggest threat” for South Africa.“Pat Cummins is the biggest threat. His leadership, when his bowling is a partnership, reduces his batting order – he contributes to the departments. He moves from the front and always keeps opposition under pressure,” Chopra said.
