After 54 games across the West Indies and the USA, it comes down to two teams. The ICC T20 World Cup final is set. Unbeaten South Africa vs India at the Kensington Oval in Barbados on Saturday 29 June 2024 at 16:30 local time.
South Africa
South African men’s team, The Proteas made history when their bowlers did a demolition job on first-time semi-finalist Afghanistan at The Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Trinidad and Tobago. Afghanistan could only muster a measly 56 runs in the 11.5 overs, falling way short of the allocated 20overs.
Marco Jansen, who was named Player of the Match, along with Kagiso Rabada, dismantled the top order, while Anrich Nortje and Tabriaz Shamsi cleaned up the middle and lower order. This comprehensive victory marks a significant achievement for the Proteas, who have historically struggled to reach the final stages of World Cup tournaments, often falling short at the semifinals.
Their performance in this tournament, particularly in the semifinal, demonstrates their growth and determination to finally claim a World Cup title.
India
The decade-long wait for India is over, finally, the men’s team is back in a T20 World Cup final.
Rohit Sharma’s consistent performances have been crucial, and a score of 171 in a rain-affected game is impressive. The Indian bowlers stepping up to dismiss England in just 16.4 overs shows their dominance. Axar Patel picked up the Player of the Match award for his incredible spell of 3/23 in 4 overs.
The final against another unbeaten team is set to be a thrilling encounter. Fans from both sides will be eagerly anticipating the showdown on Saturday.
