Today, at Kensington Oval in Barbados, the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 will culminate in a thrilling final between India and South Africa, two teams undefeated throughout the tournament.
For South Africa, this final represents a historic opportunity to claim their first-ever ICC title in cricket, while India aims to break an 11-year drought since their last ICC trophy win, which was the inaugural T20 World Cup in 2007.
The stakes are high for both sides, with India and South Africa equally hungry for victory. South Africa, despite numerous semifinal appearances across ODIs and T20s, has never advanced to win a World Cup.
On the other hand, India’s quest for this title carries additional emotional weight, potentially marking the end of an era with stalwarts like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli likely to play their final T20 International together, under the coaching of Rahul Dravid, who himself never won an ICC title as a player.
In terms of team dynamics, both India and South Africa are expected to retain their Playing XI, indicating confidence in their current strategies and line-ups for the crucial match.
The match details reveal that the live toss between South Africa and India will occur at 7:30 PM IST, with the match itself commencing at 8:00 PM IST.
Star Sports Network holds the broadcasting rights for the T20 World Cup 2024 in India, with English commentary on Star Sports 1 HD and SD channels and Hindi commentary on Star Sports 3 HD and SD channels. Viewers can also stream the final live on Disney plus Hotstar.
As the cricketing world eagerly anticipates this clash of titans, all eyes will be on Kensington Oval, where India and South Africa will battle it out for the coveted ICC T20 World Cup 2024 title, promising a fitting conclusion to an exhilarating tournament.
