JOHANNESBURG : Batsman Matthew Breetzke has received his first call-up to South Africa’s test squad for their two-match series in the West Indies next month, Cricket South Africa said on Monday.
The triumphant Indian team's celebrations at the Kensington Oval lasted close to four hours after a roller-coaster T20 World Cup final with players grooving to their favourite dance numbers and the usually reticent outgoing coach Rahul Dravid letting his hair down amid a general sense of relief for ending a lengthy title drought. The euphoria carried on in the team hotel but before that, at the historic venue, skipper Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, who both retired from the format, and Dravid let their emotions take control after a gruelling month-long campaign in the Caribbean and USA.
South Africa might be in uncharted territory when they take on serial contenders India in the T20 World Cup final in Barbados on Saturday.
BRIDGETOWN, Barbados : India captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and elected to bat in the final of the Twenty20 World Cup against South Africa at Kensington Oval in Bridgetown on Saturday.
Former England cricket team skipper Nasser Hussain was all praise for Rohit Sharma and he explained the India star's captaincy style as "iron fist in a velvet glove". Rohit has led the Indian cricket team by example as they are currently unbeaten ahead of the T20 World Cup 2024 final against South Africa on Saturday. In a video released by ICC on social media ahead of the summit clash, Hussain said that although no one can mess with him, Rohit is like a "big brother" for the players in the side and his style of leadership actually has a calming effect on the players in the side.
The finalists of the Men's T20 World Cup 2024 have been decided and for the first time ever, an unbeaten team will lift the title when India lock horns with South Africa on June 29. And this time, it's Bridgetown's Kensington Oval that will host the first daytime T20 World Cup Final. This will also be the first time South Africa will be competing in the Men's World Cup Final. Apart from winning the inaugural Champions Trophy Final in 1998, South Africa have never made the final of any Men's ICC tournament and needless to say, Aiden Markram and his team will be keen to etch their name in history.
India will take on face South Africa on Saturday in the T20 World Cup final in Bridgetown, Barbados. However, the rain is likely to play spoilsport at the Kensington Oval. India pumped England in a rain-hit semi-final in Guyana, while South Africa hammered Afghanistan in the other clash at Trinidad. If the rain does arrive on matchday, the ICC has alotted a reserve day for the final. If the match cannot be completed on Saturday, both teams will take the field once again on Sunday, the reserve day. The capital of Barbados, Bridgetown, witnessed heavy rain on the eve of the match.
South Africa will face India in the Final of the prestigious ICC T20 World Cup 2024 on June 29 at 8:00 PM IST. The most-awaited clash will be hosted at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados. South Africa are yet to add the coveted silverware to their trophy cabinet while India won the inaugural edition of the T20 World Cup 2007 played in Johannesburg.
