Ahead of the World Test Championship (WTC) final against South Africa, former Australian cricketer Matthew Hayden said that experience is the key to the national team's success in the title clash.

"It's a great dynamic position to have, coming into just one test, and that's why I think experience is really key. Guys, knowing each other's games really well, knowing the venue well, you know, sort of almost getting back into the driving seat of your vehicle and not having to change or alter the line-up because someone else has been in it. Yeah, just all those sorts of comfort zones, plus I think the connection that Australia naturally has to the home of cricket," Hayden said on Star Sports.

The WTC final is all set to be scheduled from June 11 to 15 at the Lord's Cricket Ground. If the Pat Cummins-led side manages to secure a win over the Proteas, the side will then become the first team to defend the WTC mace successfully.
