The highly anticipated final of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 will be played between India and South Africa at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados on June 29, 2024. Both teams have had an impressive run in the tournament and will be looking to clinch T20 World Cup title.
South Africa stormed into their maiden T20 World Cup final appearance after defeating Afghanistan by 9 wickets in the first semi-final.
The Proteas bowlers, led by Marco Jansen and Anrich Nortje, bundled out Afghanistan for just 56 runs and then chased down the target with ease. This will be South Africa’s first-ever appearance in the final of an ICC tournament.
India, on the other hand, defeated England by 68 runs in the second semi-final to set up a clash with South Africa.
Axar Patel’s decisive spell of 4/30 helped India restrict England to 160/8 while chasing 229. The Indian batting unit, led by Suryakumar Yadav’s 62-ball 95, posted a competitive total of 228/5.
This will be India’s first T20 World Cup final appearance since 2014. The last time in 2007, India emerged victorious in the T20 World Cup final.
South Africa will be aiming to win their maiden ICC trophy, while India will be looking to clinch their second T20 World Cup title. The match is expected to be a closely contested affair between two of the in-form teams in the tournament.
