A África do Sul teve uma lacuna de 27 anos entre dois títulos da ICC, vencendo a coroa do campeonato de testes mundiais no Lord’s.
South Africa ended generations of heartache with a stunning win in the World Test Championship Final on Saturday. It was the Proteas’ first ICC title win since the turn of the century having lost 10 knockout games. Bavuma became just the second SA captain to lift a title after Hansie Cronje did it in 1998.
South Africa end 27-year wait for ICC title
The 27 years between South Africa’s two ICC titles is the most in cricket. The Hansie Cronje led Proteas won the 1998 Knockout Trophy but then had to endure a series of heartbreaks. Now, Temba Bavuma and Co ended that barren run with a show of grit and resilience at Lord’s.
The previous biggest gap between 2 titles was with the West Indies, who waited 25 years. The Caribbean side won the 1979 World Cup but their next success only came in 2004 Champions Trophy.
Biggest gap between 2 ICC titles
- South Africa: 27 years
- West Indies: 25 years
- New Zealand: 21 years
- India: 19 years
- Pakistan: 17 years
- Sri Lanka: 12 years
- Australia: 12 years
