IND vs SA Final: Indian cricket team managed to defeat England by 68 runs in the semi-final of ICC T29 World Cup 2024. Rohit Sharma-led Team India will now have their eyes on the title, where they will face South Africa in the final for the trophy. India and South Africa are the two teams in the current T20 World Cup, which have remained unbeaten in the tournament. India have not won a T20 World Cup title since 2007. While South Africa has reached the final of the T20 World Cup for the first time. In such a situation, it would not be wrong to say that both the teams will give their all for this match. The match will be played in Barbados on Saturday, June 29. At the same time, in the T20 World Cup final between India and South Africa, there may be personal competition between some players, which may affect the outcome of the match.
1. Rohit Sharma vs Marco Jensen :
It’s not a famous rivalry but Pakistan’s left-arm fast bowlers including Mohammad Amir and Shaheen Shah Afridi are troubling them. An in-form Jensen can take advantage of this. However, the statistics are in favor of Rohit who has faced Jensen in nine innings in T20 matches and has been dismissed just once off his bowling. Rohit Sharma has scored 248 runs in 7 matches of the current World Cup at an average of 41.33 and a strike rate of 155.97. There have also been three half-centuries from Rohit’s bat. While Marco Jensen has taken 6 wickets in 8 matches.
2. Virat Kohli vs Kagiso Rabada:
Despite the Indian team being unbeaten so far in the T20 World Cup, Virat Kohli’s form has been a cause for concern, having managed just 75 runs in seven matches. South African fast bowler Kagiso Rabada has taken 12 wickets in eight matches and his economy rate has been less than six. Kohli will have to be more careful when facing Rabada’s ball. Rabada has dismissed Kohli four times in 13 innings and has conceded just 51 runs during that time.
3. Rishabh Pant vs Keshav Maharaj:
This match will be interesting. Pant has so far scored 171 runs in seven matches and Maharaj has taken nine wickets. Pant is batting at number three and could face Maharaj in the first ten overs. Maharaj will have to bowl accurately to prevent Pant from playing his unorthodox shots.
4. Jasprit Bumrah vs Quinton de Kock:
De Kock has scored 204 runs in eight matches of this World Cup. Now he will face the best bowler in the world, Jasprit Bumrah, who has taken 13 wickets at an economy rate of 4.12. De Kock will have to play very carefully against Bumrah.
5. Akshar Patel or Kuldeep Yadav vs Henrik Klaassen:
Klaassen is adept at playing spinners but has managed to score only 138 runs in eight matches in this World Cup. He has to be careful in front of Akshar and Kuldeep.
