Steve Smith injured during WTC Final 2025 : An accident occurred on the third day of the World Test Championship final being played between Australia and South Africa. A star player was injured and had to be taken to the hospital during South Africa’s innings on Friday 13 June in this match being played at Lord’s Cricket Stadium in London. These star players are Australian legendary batsman Steve Smith, who got hurt while fielding. Cricket Australia said that Smith had to be taken to the hospital due to a finger injury and did not land for fielding.
On the third day of this final match at Lord’s, Australia set a target of 282 runs to win in front of South Africa. South Africa, who came out to bat in the second session, lost 2 wickets for 70 runs in response. On this occasion, team captain Temba Bavuma came for batting. Australia had a chance to pressurize another wicket here. He also got the opportunity when he got a chance to catch the catch of Bavuma off Mitchell Starc. But not only this catch dropped, but Australia got a double shock.
It happened that Bavuma’s bat was shocked by Stark’s ball and the catch was raised towards the first slip. But this time Smith was posted far ahead of the normal position in the first slip as the catch was not reaching on the last few occasions. But this time the ball came very fast and Smith could not grab it. Not only did he get a catch from his hand, but also got loud in the little finger of his right hand, due to which he was seen groaning with pain at the same time. Immediately Australia’s medical team came to the ground and after some time Smith was taken out of the ground.
