India to win
After 29 days and 55 fixtures, we have the two finalists of the T20 World Cup 2024 edition. On one side we have South Africa, who will play its first ever final match of any world cup after years of bad luck haunting them in the semi-finals and on the other hand we have India, one-time champion and currently the top team in the ICC T20I rankings.
The final match of this T20 World Cup is scheduled to take place at Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados on 29th June, starting at 8 PM IST.
It will be an exciting finale as both the teams are unbeatable so far in this tournament. South Africa defeated Afghanistan with a huge win in the semi-final, restricting them to just 56 runs with their lethal bowling attack. India outplayed the defending champions England in the 2nd semi-final with an above par target to avenge the 10-wicket defeat by England in the semi-final of the last T20 World Cup in 2022.
Take a look at the detailed predictions for the final match of the T20 World Cup between South Africa and India.
TV channels: You can watch this match live on Star Sports, PTV, Ten Sports, Willow TV, ESPN Caribbean, Sky Cricket, Sky Sport NZ and SuperSport.
Live Streaming: The fixture will be live-streamed on Disney+ Hotstar, Myco, Tamasha, ESPN Play Caribbean, SkyGO, NOW TV, Prime Video and SuperSport.
3 out of last 5 matches at this venue have been won by the team batting second so we anticipate the toss winner to go for chase.
The pitch at Kensington Oval offers a balanced track. The batters get to score a decent amount of runs and the average innings score is around 155. India scored 180+ here while Australia breached the 200-run mark. Both spinners and pacers are able to pick wickets here but the economy will go above 6.50. The par score will be above 170.
The weather forecast shows scattered thunderstorms during the game time in Barbados on Saturday. The temperature is expected to hover around 29-30°C.

South Africa will not be making any changes to the playing 11 line-up as they are on a brilliant winning streak. Any change can hamper the confidence of the players.
South Africa has entered a final of any world cup for the first time in its entire cricket history. This feat is achieved with an 8 match unbeatable streak in this tournament.

2 world cup finals in 2 years. India is on a roll with its combinations and this team looks unbeatable with its batting and bowling quality. We expect no changes in the playing 11 as no injuries are concerned so far.
The team has been in great form with the bat and ball but Virat Kohli looks out of place with his new role as an opener. We strongly believe that Kohli should be placed back at his number 3 spot where he can bat more confidently for this crucial game.

India are the favourites to win the T20 World Cup 2024. The bookmakers are backing India from the start of the tournament and now you can back them at 1.52 to win the title. South Africa is also a strong contender and they want the trophy more than anyone as they have never won any world cup trophy in the past. India is the number 1 team in the ICC T20 rankings and with their current form they deserve the favourite tag.
South Africa and India will lock horns for the final showdown of the T20 World Cup 2024. Both the teams have performed well and are on winning streaks with no loss so far in this tournament. To pick one team, we will back India to lift the trophy as they look more confident with their batting and bowling. The Proteas have a strong batting line-up but they will have a hard time facing the Indian bowling attack which is in top form.
The top batters for South Africa will be Quinton de Kock and Heinrich Klaasen. Quinton is batting at a strike rate of 143 and he has scored 204 runs while Klaasen has an average of 27.60 in 7 innings. Klaasen’s batting style against spinners will help to tackle Indian bowlers.
For India, the top batters will be Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav. Both the batters stitched a brilliant partnership of 73 runs against England in the semi-final to take the scoreboard above par score. Rohit is batting at a strike rate of 150+ and scored 248 runs while Suryakumar has an average of 32 and he is 4 runs away from 200-run mark.
In bowling, the top players for South Africa will be Anrich Nortje and Tabraiz Shamsi. Nortje is the highest wicket taker so far with 13 wickets with the best bowling figures of 4/7. He will be dangerous on this pitch. Shamsi can bring in problems for Indian batters with his spin abilities. He has taken 11 wickets so far in just 4 matches.
Kuldeep Yadav and Jasprit Bumrah will be the top bowlers for India. There are certainly more than 2 in-form bowlers in this team but Bumrah and Kuldeep are leading the pace and spin attack, respectively. Bumrah has picked 13 wickets in 7 matches while Kuldeep is at 10 in just 4 matches.
South Africa and India will face each other for the 27th time in the T20Is and this one will be remembered as the most crucial as this is the final of the T20 World Cup. India not just has a dominant overall head to head record but they also have edge in South Africa and neutral grounds.
This South African batting line-up is not new to Indian bowlers as most of them actively play IPL every year.
South African bowlers are also in dangerous form but this combination of Indian spinners and fast bowlers has been a key factor for them behind all the big victories. We are anticipating another domination from Indian bowlers in this match and South African batters will be struggling like other teams.
