Speaking about the toss, South African captain Eden Markram said that we would have batted first. The wicket is looking a bit dry. Now we have to bowl well and restrict them to a minimum score. We will give our all here today. We are in the final, this is the biggest thing for us. Everyone has done a great job and we want to do well once again today. While leaving we said that we are going with the same team.
Indian captain Rohit Sharma, who came to bowl after winning the toss, said that we want to bat first. Rohit further said that the pitch looks great and we are looking to make a good total here. It is a big opportunity but we all want to keep ourselves calm and give our best. We are looking at it as just an international match, playing against a good team. While leaving he said that we have not made any changes in our team.
Time for the toss – Rohit Sharma and Aiden Markram line up for the crucial toss on Barbados soil. Meanwhile, with much fanfare, the coin was tossed and India won the toss and elected to bat first.
Pitch Report – Ian Bishop is here to talk about the pitch. Looking at it, he said it looked like a very stiff wicket. It has been rolling and the grass is not visible. Nasir Hussain joins him and says the wind is blowing and towards a short boundary. The side boundaries are 63 and 65 meters while the front is 71 meters. Bishop said this is a center pitch. Fast bowlers have taken more wickets on this pitch. There is neither too much nor too little bounce on it, which means batsmen will get what they need here.
Currently, the players of both the teams are seen warming up. There is not much delay in the toss and playing eleven…
While Hardik Pandya can once again play a key role for Team India in this important match. On the other hand, if we talk about the African team, like Virat Kohli, the bat of one of their opening batsmen, Riza Hendricks, has been completely silent throughout this competition. The skipper will surely expect a big innings from him in this great match. Apart from him, Quinton de Kock, captain Aiden Markram, Henrik Klaasen, Tristan Stubbs and Killer Miller are the batsmen who will have to score runs with their bat. While Kagiso Rabada, Marco Jensen and Enrich Nortje will have to show their edge in the fast bowling department, the spin duo of Tabrez Shamsi and Keshav Maharaj can be seen troubling the Indian batsmen. So now it remains to be seen which team absorbs the most pressure and grabs the trophy in this high voltage game. Just wait a few hours and we are going to be champions.
So now both the teams are all set to write their names in the history pages. If we talk about statistics, so far England and West Indies are the only two teams who have lifted this trophy twice, so we will know in few hours if Team India can join that list now. If we look at this great match, there are some important players of both the teams on whom everyone’s eyes will be fixed. As for the Men in Blue, Virat Kohli’s lack of form is a concern but captain Rohit Sharma has a lot of faith in his veteran player. In this match too, a lot will depend on the Indian opening pair, apart from them Rishabh Pant, Shivam Dubey and Suryakumar Yadav will definitely want to score runs with their bat. While Boom-Boom Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel and Ravindra Jadeja can be seen troubling the Proteas batsmen in the bowling department.
Team India’s 16-year wait will end today? After almost 28 days and 54 thrilling matches, we are now going to get the trophy we deserve. So hello and welcome friends, welcome to join us in the final match of ICC T20 World Cup 2024!! Which will soon be played between India and South Africa in Barbados. On the one hand, there is Rohit Sharma and Co., who have entered here with complete dominance, while on the other, there is Aiden Markram and Army, who have arrived here despite falling and winning some close matches. Yes, there is only one thing in common between these two teams and that is that they have not lost a single match so far in this competition and have entered here riding on the chariot of victory. One thing is certain that history will be made after this match, if the Indian team wins then they will capture this trophy for the second time and if South Africa win the match then their dream of capturing the World Cup trophy after many decades will be fulfilled. . will happen
