India vs South Africa, T20 World Cup Final, at Barbados

 


India vs South Africa, T20 World Cup Final 2024: India will be out to end their global title drought while South Africa are seeking to bury their 'chokers' tag at Kensington Oval when the tournament's two unbeaten sides clash in the Twenty20 World Cup final.

Their blemish-free campaigns and comprehensive victories in the semi-finals leave no doubt that the 20-team tournament's best two sides have made the final in Bridgetown.

A day after South Africa stopped Afghanistan's fairytale run in the first semi in Trinidad, India ended England's title defence in Guyana to make the third consecutive final of a global event across all formats.

Skipper Rohit Sharma will hope India, who lost in the finals of the World Test Championship and the 50-overs home World Cup last year, will make it third time lucky.

Both Rohit, 37, and stalwart Virat Kohli, 35, are playing what could be their last T20 World Cup, and winning the trophy would be a perfect farewell for them.

They seem to have both a game plan and the personnel to execute it.

Rohit at the top of the order embodies India's batting philosophy, which values ​​a series of attacking performances rather than a single match-deciding blow from a single batsman.

Their three-pronged spin attack has performed well in the second half of the tournament and pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah has been nearly unstoppable so far.

After seven heartbreaking semi-final defeats, it will be a nerve-wracking test for opponents as South Africa look to unleash the burden of reaching their first World Cup final in any format.

Their quick attack has been precise and has always helped when the batsmen made a mistake.

Opener Quinton de Kock brings Caribbean Premier League experience and the middle order has plenty of firepower, while South Africa also have a composed leader in Aiden Markram, who is unbeaten in 10 matches as captain.
