New Delhi. The wait for the ICC T20 World Cup final between India and South Africa is about to end. The winner of the tournament will be announced tonight itself. All eyes will be on the South African team in this match as they have reached the final of an ICC tournament for the first time. The Indian team will want to turn the disappointment of defeats in the last several ICC finals into a trophy. There is a rain shadow over this match and if the match does not happen how will the winner be decided. We give you the answer to this question.
The final of the ICC T20 World Cup will be played tonight between India and South Africa. The Rohit Sharma captained Indian team was disappointed with the loss against Australia in the ODI World Cup final last year. Earlier, the same team also defeated him in the final of the ICC Test Championship. This time India defeated Australia in the Super 8 while England were shown the way out in the semi-finals. Last time, this team defeated India in the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup. If South Africa win here, they will lift the ICC trophy for the first time.
If the match is cancelled, who will be the winner?
The final of the ICC T20 World Cup between India and South Africa has been kept for an extra 190 minutes. If this match cannot be held today then it will be completed on Reserve Day i.e. 30th June. ICC has kept a reserve day for the final match. If the match cannot be played even on the reserve day due to rain, the joint winner of the tournament will be declared. This means that both India and South Africa will be declared the winners of the T20 World Cup. In the 2002 ICC Champions Trophy, both Sri Lanka and India were declared joint winners of the trophy as the matches were not held on the Reserve Day.
