India will be out to end their global title drought while South Africa are seeking to bury their 'chokers' tag at Kensington Oval on Saturday when the tournament's two unbeaten sides clash in the Twenty20 World Cup final.
Former England cricketer and renowned commentator David 'Bumble' Lloyd has said that the repeated drawing of India and Pakistan in the same group for every major ICC event is a form of match-fixing that needs to be stopped. Being one of the high-profile fixtures of world cricket, India and Pakistan are automatically scheduled to play each other in almost every ICC event in recent years. Lloyd, who is also a former England coach, called out the system, labelling it as fixing, and also went on to criticise the pre-seeding seen during the 2024 T20 World Cup.
Arshdeep Singh has taken more wickets than Jasprit Bumrah for India at the T20 World Cup in the United States and Caribbean. Kuldeep Yadav has a better strike rate than him.
Virat Kohli got out on a single-digit score for the fifth time in the 2024 T20 World Cup, in India's semi-final against England in Guyana. Kohli made a run-a-ball 9 against England, a knock which took his tally to just 75 for the tournament in seven innings. After his dismissal, Kohli's disappointment was evident. A video went viral on social media, showing Kohli in a serious mood, and being consoled by Team India head coach Rahul Dravid. He was dismissed by his Royal Challengers Bangalore teammate in IPL 2024, Reece Topley.
India captain Rohit Sharma lavished praise on the gun spinners Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel for the spectacle they produced in the semi-final of the ongoing T20 World Cup against England in Guyana. After Jos Buttler smacked away Arshdeep Singh for three boundaries in the third over, Axar Patel turned the tide on his first delivery of the match. Axar removed England captain Jos Buttler (23) by going away from his usual style of skidding the ball and decided to spin it. The English skipper tried to counterattack with a reverse sweep. He bottomed it straight to Rishabh Pant behind the stumps.
India kept their winning run intact on Thursday, as they defeated defending champions England by 68 runs in their T20 World Cup 2024 semi-final clash in Guyana. The win saw the Rohit Sharma-led side book their place in Saturday's final game against South Africa in Barbados. This was India's seventh win of the tournament after their match against Ireland in the group stage was washed out due to rain in Florida. South Africa, on the other hand, are also unbeaten with eigth wins on the trot heading into the final.
India outplayed England in the second semi-final of the T20 World Cup on Thursday in Guyana, avenging their defeat against the same opposition at the same stage two years back. Spinners Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav were too hot to handle for the England batters, with the duo sharing six wickets between them to fire India into the final, where they will face South Africa on Saturday in Barbados. Axar was pretty impressive with his spell of 3/23 as he broke the back of England's top-order, earning praise from fans and experts.
Disappointed after the loss against India in the semi-final, England captain Jos Buttler admitted that Men in Blue "outplayed" his team and said that the Rohit Sharma-led side deserved to reach the final of the ICC T20 World Cup as they played well on "challenging surface." The clash between the two unbeaten sides has been set for Saturday, with India set to take on South Africa in the final of the T20 World Cup after the Rohit Sharma-led side sealed a thumping 68-run win over England at Providence Stadium, Guyana.
