Preview: This is it, guys. It is now time for the 2024 T20 World Cup finals. After 26 days of thrilling, nerve-racking, and demanding cricket filled with ups and downs, we’ve arrived at the tournament’s last game. And you can safely claim that the two best teams in the competition, India and South Africa, have advanced to the final stage. Both teams have gone undefeated throughout the tournament and are only one step away from the desired prize. South Africa has a rare opportunity to achieve triumph as they compete in their first World Cup final.
Meanwhile, India has failed to advance past the knockout stages in ICC events over the last decade and has a point to show. We are in for an exciting race.
T20 World Cup 2024, Final Match, RSA vs IND
Venue: Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados
Date & Time: Saturday, June 29, 8:00 PM
Pitch Report: The surface at Barbados’ Kensington Oval is expected to provide movement for the seamers with the new ball. The batters may struggle to adjust to the movement. With increased bounce in the early overs, bowling first and chasing the target could be a good idea.
