Bulawayo, July 08 (UNI) Bulawayo witnessed South Africa’s unstoppable charge into the record books, as their commanding win over Zimbabwe by an innings and 236 runs in the second Test stretched their incredible winning streak to 10 consecutive matches.
This triumphant run began in August 2024 against the West Indies and has seen the Proteas conquer all challenges, including the final of the ICC World Test Championship.
This latest win pushed South Africa past their own record of nine consecutive Test victories achieved in 2002/03, placing them fourth in the all-time list of most consecutive Test wins.
They now sit just behind the formidable West Indies side of 1984, who notched up 11 straight victories, and Australia’s unparalleled record of 16 consecutive wins, achieved on two separate occasions. What makes this streak even more impressive is that six of South Africa’s ten victories have come away from home.
The Proteas’ extraordinary journey began with a narrow 40-run victory over the West Indies in Providence. They then carried that momentum into a dominant 2-0 away series whitewash against Bangladesh. The winning ways continued in a home series against Sri Lanka, which South Africa comfortably swept 2-0.
