LONDON (AP) — South Africa won the World Test Championship against titleholder Australia by five wickets after knocking off the last 69 runs required on the fourth morning of the final on Saturday. The Proteas achieved their first major cricket title in 27 years, sparking celebrations at Lord’s.

The entire world cricket fraternity—including losers Australia—needs to embrace South Africa’s victory in the World Test Championship (WTC) final at Lord’s on Saturday. It was South Africa’s first ICC title since the late Hansie Cronje led them to victory in the inaugural Champions Trophy (then called the Wills International Cup) in Dhaka in 1998.
