IND vs SA T20 World Cup 2024 Final: After dismissing India captain Rohit Sharma for 9 runs in the T20 World Cup 2024 final, Keshav Maharaj gave South Africa an early lead. While everything was going on, his opening partner Virat Kohli looked sharp, hitting three boundaries off of Marco Jansen’s opening over. Kagiso Rabada bowled the last ball of the over, which Suryakumar Yadav mistimed. Fortunately, the ball fell over the head of mid-on, who was sprinting behind. Only three came off the over, and a couple came off the delivery.
South Africa and India’s Path to the Final
South Africa and India both have undefeated records and have advanced to the final. India won seven of their eight matches, with one being abandoned because of a wet outfield, while South Africa won all eight. South Africa has never made it to a world cup final, but India is making their third appearance in the tournament’s championship game. Michael Vaughan, a former captain of England, thinks the Men in Blue would go on a trophy-winning rampage if India wins the T20 World Cup final today.
In South Africa’s opening over, Marco Jansen, Virat Kohli, has ensured an explosive start for India. Kohli hits Jansen for two consecutive boundaries and then once more on the last ball of the over. But After losing three quick wickets in succession Rohit Sharma, Rishabh Pant, and Suryakumar Yadav India is undoubtedly in the losing position. Virat Kohli and Axar Patel appear to be in rebuilding mode as the scoring pace has dropped to nearly one run per over.
