On Saturday June 29th, South Africa vs India in the T20 World Cup final is a meeting of two undefeated sides. Never has the winner of the T20 World Cup gone undefeated throughout the competition, so history will be made on Saturday on way or the other.
This Proteas team has already made history in being the first South African side to reach the final of World Cup, whether in the 20- or 50–over format. However captain Aiden Markram has had experience of leading his side to world cup glory. He was skipper of the South Africa side which won the 2014 ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup, in which he was awarded man of the tournament. Kagiso Rabada is the only other member of that side to be playing on Saturday.
India won the inaugural T20 World Cup, held in 2007, in South Africa, but have not won one since. They were the runners up in 2014. Their last final win was the 50-over world cup in 2011, but they lost the final of the 2023 competition a few months ago.
India’s campaign has been marked by their dominance in different conditions. Captain Rohit Sharma has led by example, scoring crucial runs, while the bowling unit, featuring both pacers and spinners, has performed exceptionally.
However, the team will be hoping for key contributions from Virat Kohli, who has had a quiet tournament, and Shivam Dube, whose performance against South Africa’s spinners could be pivotal.
South Africa’s only ICC triumph came in the 1998 Champions Trophy, and they head into the final with a renewed sense of hope. After a convincing win over Afghanistan in the semi-finals, the side, too, will aim to finish the campaign unbeaten and win a first T20 World Cup title.

India vs South Africa Live Score: In a remark quoted by PTI, Ganguly said, “He has played two World Cup finals where he has gone into the final unbeaten. That speaks of his captaincy and leadership quality and I’m not surprised because he became captain when I was the BCCI president and when Virat didn’t want to captain India anymore,”
