IND vs SA T20 World Cup 2024 Final: As cricket enthusiasts prepare for the highly anticipated T20 World Cup 2024 Final—which will take place at the storied Kensington Oval Stadium in Barbados—between South Africa and India. Both teams have demonstrated incredible skill throughout the competition, so this championship game should be exciting. Now in the meantime a statement from Shoaib Akhtar has come out.
Shoaib Akhtar’s Twitter Statement
Sharing a video on Twitter, he wrote in the caption, “Sympathy with Proteas, But India is winning the World Cup.” In the video he said, “My heart also says that South Africa should win. They have come to the finals after such a long time.”
Shoaib Akhtar said that, “Despite being such a big name, they have never played the finals. This time they are coming to the finals. The whole world wants South Africa to win these finals. But to win the finals, South Africa has to compete with a very big team. The name of that team is Hindustan. If you ask me, I want that after 2007, India never won the World Cup. So Hindustan definitely deserves it.”
South Africa and India have played each other six times in T20 World Cups, thus the Men in Blue’s 4-2 advantage against the Proteas will be welcome news to Indian supporters. When these two sides last faced off, it was in the 2022 T20 World Cup, and South Africa won by a margin of five wickets.

That being said, there was only one earlier T20 World Cup knockout match between South Africa and India in 2014, when Virat Kohli’s unbeaten 72 off 44 led India to victory in a nail-biting run chase. In tonight’s grand final of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados, India and South Africa will square off. It promises to be a turbulent match, with the players not only needing to battle through the emotions and strain but also the weather itself.
