Australia's Nathan Lyon chews gum as he walks to his fielding position during the day one of the second cricket test match between Australia and India at the Adelaide Oval in Adelaide, Australia. (AP)Australian spinner Nathan Lyon said that it’ll be a challenge for the defending champions against South Africa at Lord’s for the World Test Championship final due to the foreign conditions and the use of Dukes balls. The current Australian side is jampacked with talent that were a part of the 2015 and 2023 ODI World Cup winning team as well as the 2021 T20 World Cup winning side.“Having the experience of the guys who have won three (50-over) World Cups and T20 World Cups and obviously the World Test Championship final a couple of years ago, that experience and that pressure in those higher games, it’s going to be, it’s on our side, isn’t it, but it doesn’t mean anything when you come to the game. South Africa have got some world class batters and obviously they’ve got some unbelievable bowlers there as well so it’s going to be a good challenge and obviously it’s a one-off Test match,” Lyon said to ICC.“It’s going to be different challenge and with foreign conditions and the Dukes ball. It’s going to be two best bowling attacks going at each other which is another exciting thing so it’s going to be a good challenge for all batters,” he added.The premier tweaker also said that he has followed the progress of the South African batters in recent days.“I’m a cricket nuffie, so I’ve watched a fair amount of cricket and even tuned into their (South Africa’s tour) game at the moment against Zimbabwe. They’ve got some class players as I said with the likes of Aiden Markram, Rickelton at the top of the order there, they’re class players, there’s no point in hiding behind that fact either.” “I played against (David) Bedingham last year here in County cricket and he’s a special player, so at the end of the day it’s going to be guys who do the basics…and enjoy the pressure moments,” the right-arm off-spinner said.The World Test Championship final is scheduled to start from June 11 at Lord’s.Get latest updates on IPL 2025 from IPL Points Table to Teams, Schedule, Most Runs and Most Wickets along with live cricket score updates for all matches.
