India vs South Africa Highlights, T20 World Cup 2024 Final, IND vs SA: India have got over that finish line at long last. They somehow pulled things back despite South Africa needing just 30 to win off 30 balls and won their second T20 World Cup title. It is their first major title since 2013 and the first time they won the T20 World Cup since the inaugural 2007 T20 World Cup. India are also the first team ever to win a T20 World Cup without losing a single match throughout the tournament and the first team since 2013 to win an ICC title in this manner. Former captain Virat Kohli, who had struggled all tournament long, was player of the match for his 76 off 59 balls and he announced his retirement from T20Is in the presentation ceremony....Read More

Kohli's innings helped India recover from a shaky start and get to a score of 176/7, thus breaking the record for highest score in a T20 World Cup final. South Africa were off to a shaky start with Reeza Hendricks falling in the second over to a gem of an outswinger from Jasprit Bumrah. Captain Aiden Markram fell in the next to Arshdeep Singh. Quinton de Kock and Tristan Stubbs then steadied the South African ship with a 58-run stand off 38 balls. India kept a finger on the South African innings with frequent wickets though, with Stubbs falling to Axar Patel and De Kock falling top Arshdeep. Heinrich Klaasen then suddenly seemed to take the game away from India by smashing 24 runs in the 15th over but India fought back with Hardik Pandya sending him back in the 17th over.

Jasprit Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh then put the chokehold on South Africa Bumrah gave just two runs and dismissed Marco Jansen in the 18th over and then Arshdeep Singh gave just four runs in the 19th. Pandya then bowled the last over and South Africa finished seven runs short. India thus ended their 11-year title drought.

Kohli earlier hit three fours in the first over but Keshav Maharaj hit back for South Africa by dismissing Rohit Sharma and Rishabh Pant in the second. This was followed by Suryakumar Yadav falling to Kagiso Rabada and so India ended up losing three wickets inside the powerplay. Kohli and Axar Patel have since steadied the ship for India and saw them through to the 10th over. Their stand went on to cross 60 and India crossed 100 inside 14 overs.

However, Axar fell just three runs away from his half-century thanks to a stunning piece of fielding from Quinton de Kock, running him out with a direct hit at the non-striker's end. The stand between Axar and Kohli brought 72 runs in 54 balls for the fourth wicket. Kohli eventually crossed his fifty in 48 balls and then teed off against Kagiso Rabada in the 18th over, hitting a six and a four in it.

India vs South Africa Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Final, IND vs SA: And the Indians lift the trophy!

India vs South Africa Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Final, IND vs SA: After 17 years, Indian fans get to see their team lift the T20 World Cup trophy. 17 years is a long time. There would've been kids on the cusp of adulthood dancing and jumping around after S Sreesanth took that catch to dismiss Misbah Ul Haq in 2007. Those same individuals would now probably be dancing around with their own kids in their hands. It is the time when people go from being college kids to leading their own lives, possibly leading a team or two in their workplace. Both of these facts can be applied to Rohit Sharma, in fact. He was a fresh-faced youngster in 2007, only those in tune with Mumbai cricket may have heard of this youngster who has got extraordinary hand-eye co-ordination. That tournament came around not too long since he was travelling hours in Mumbai's local trains for cricket. Today, he is the wisened old man in this team and he has lifted the trophy after having endured disappointment for such a long. He was walking around with his daughter on his shoulders. 17 years is a long time and for once, the Indian captain's feelings would be very much in sync with most Indian fans who can clearly recall that victory in 2007. A word on Rahul Dravid as well, let's hope we get to see the great man soon in some way or the other. Today we saw him roaring in a manner he seldom does as he lifted that trophy. Oh the things a World Cup does to you, regardless of the format; regardless of the sport. That's it from me today, but that is not even close to being it from us, a lot of stuff has been churned out already and a lot more yet to come. We hope you had as much fun following this tournament with us as we had covering it. Goodbye and good night

India vs South Africa Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Final, IND vs SA: “The fans have been waiting a long time, just like us,” Rohit signs off

India vs South Africa Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Final, IND vs SA: "I've been someone who has seen (Bumrah) play for so many years, but even I don't know how he does it. It is a masterclass. He backs his skills and he is a very confident lad. Hardik was brilliant as well, bowling that last over. Fantastic for the fans to support us through New York till Barbados. And all the guys in India, it is a late night but I'm sure they'll all be waiting to watch this. They have been waiting a long time, just like us."

India vs South Africa Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Final, IND vs SA: Rohit on Kohli

India vs South Africa Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Final, IND vs SA: “Nobody was in doubt with Virat's form. We know the quality he has, come the occasion the big players will stand up. Virat was holding that end up for us, we wanted someone to bat as long as possible. This wasn't a wicket where a new guy could come and play straight. That's where the experience of Virat comes through.”

India vs South Africa Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Final, IND vs SA: India collects their medals and now Rohit talks

India vs South Africa Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Final, IND vs SA: “Very hard to sum up what we have been thriough for the last 3-04 years. We work really hard as individuals and as a team. A lot has gone behind the scenes for us to get here today. It is not what we did today, it's what we have been doing for the last 3-4 years. We have played a lot of high pressure games in the past and been on the wrong side so guys understand what is to be done when the pressure is on. We stuck together as a team. Even though at one point it was looking it was going South Africa's way but overall as a group, we wanted this really bad. A lot of efforts went behind the scenes and I am very proud of the boys that I have and the management as well for giving us the liberty to go and play, having trust in all of us.”

India vs South Africa Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Final, IND vs SA: “We are competitive, respectful and will go down with a fight,” says a proud Aiden Markram

India vs South Africa Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Final, IND vs SA: "Gutted for the time being, it'll take some time to reflect on a really good campaign, hurts quite a bit but incredibly proud. We bowled well, not a lot to work with, it was a chaseable total, batted well, came down to the wire, gutted not to get over the line. We have seen with a lot of our games in this campaign, it's not over till the last ball is over. So we never got comfortable, things happen quickly at the back end. We got into a great position to prove we were worthy finalists. Could have won today, unfortunately didn't but very proud of this group. One thing that is guaranteed about South Africans around the world is that we are competitive, respectful and will go down with a fight. It's still a proud moment for us."

India vs South Africa Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Final, IND vs SA: The South Africans collect their medals

India vs South Africa Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Final, IND vs SA: Let's hope this isn't the farthest South Africa go in a big tournament for a while. What an unbelievable team this is. They were all in tears, Miller was among those who cried in 2015 as well, remember, as was de Kock. They are a brilliant side in all formats. A proud cricketing nation and surely, surely a major title in some format is around the corner.

India vs South Africa Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Final, IND vs SA: That last over...

India vs South Africa Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Final, IND vs SA: Well we were having some technical difficulties at the worst moment imaginable and so we couldn't really describe that last over properly. Rabada swung for the hills off the second ball after Miller fell, it took an inside edge and went for four behind the wicketkeeper. Then came two leg byes and South Africa needed 10 to win off the last ball. Pandya went a bit too wide outside off and the fifth ball was wide, SA needed 9 to win off the last two balls. Rabada then holed out to SKY fifth ball and then just a single off the last. Cue tears and pandemonium.

India vs South Africa Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Final, IND vs SA: A word on Hardik Pandya as it starts pouring at the Kensington Oval

India vs South Africa Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Final, IND vs SA: Just how Bollywood can we get, eh? There are tears everywhere you see here, whether it be the Indians or the South Africans and in true blue filmy style there is rain to outline those emotions. Hardik Pandya broke down after the last ball. What an incredible tournament he has had. He had probably the most difficult of IPL seasons anyone has ever had, he missed out on much of the 2023 World Cup due to a freak injury and now, he has done the job for India. He bowled that pressure last over and came out on top. Take a bow.

India vs South Africa Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Final, IND vs SA: The incredible Jasprit Bumrah is the player of the tournament

India vs South Africa Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Final, IND vs SA: His figures today read 2/18, an economy of 4.50. Bumrah has taken 15 wickets in this T20 World Cup at a ridiculous economy of 4.17. He is normally as cool as ice but today, after that last ball, you could see tears inhis eyes as well. Here is what he told Harsha Bhogle: “Usually I’m the one who tries to keep my emotions in check and get the job done but today I don’t have many words, I don’t usually cry after a game but the emotions are taking over. We were in trouble but we’re really over the moon to win from that stage. My family is here, we came close last time and we got the job done, there’s no better feeling than to get your team through in a game like this. It just felt good, tried to keep myself in a bubble and tried not to think too far ahead. When the big day comes, you have to do it, throughout the tournament I felt very clear. I always think about one ball and one over at a time, don’t think too far ahead. Emotions can take over, it was taking over but you have to keep it in check but now that the game is over, it can come out and you can scream and shout. (When he was asked to bowl the 16th over) I saw the ball was a bit scuffed up and it would reverse a bit, thought which would be the most difficult shot for the batter and was able to execute it.”

India vs South Africa Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Final, IND vs SA: "Time for the next generation to take the T20 game forward," says Kohli

India vs South Africa Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Final, IND vs SA: Here is what the great man said: “This was my last T20 World Cup, this is exactly what we wanted to achieve. One day you feel like you can't get a run and this happens, God is great. Just the occasion, now or never kind of situation. This was my last T20 game playing for India. We wanted to lift that cup. Wanted to Yes I have, this was an open secret. Not something that I wasn't going to announce even if we had lost. Time for the next generation to take the T20 game forward. It's been a long wait for us, waiting to win an ICC tournament. You look at someone like Rohit, he's played 9 T20 World Cups and this is my sixth. He deserves it. It's been difficult to hold things (emotions) back and I think it's going to sink in later. It's an amazing day and I'm thankful”

June 29, 2024 11:47 PM IST

India vs South Africa Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Final, IND vs SA: Virat Kohli has announced his retirement from T20 Internationals

India vs South Africa Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Final, IND vs SA: Virat Kohli is the player of the match and he tells Harsha Bhogle that he is hanging up his boots in the shortest format of international cricket. An era has come to an end. He spoke about Sachin Tendulkar carrying the Indian team on his shoulders after the 2011 World Cup. Kohli has carried India for so long in so many dazzling individual performances in T20 World Cups. This tournament, he wasn't at his best but today, he struck, he bailed India out. He does the job for India one last time and we can only say, thank you legend.

June 29, 2024 11:46 PM IST

India vs South Africa Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Final, IND vs SA: India's 2nd T20 World Cup title, first since 2007, first ICC title since 2013

India vs South Africa Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Final, IND vs SA: A fitting finale if there ever was any between two incredible sides. In the end both sets of players are in tears, two very different kinds of them of course. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in the clump of Indian players hugging and celebrating. These two legends have tasted success with the Indian team when they were young turks. Now they are wisened old men of Indian cricket and they are probably savouring this more than they did those previous trophies.

India vs South Africa Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Final, IND vs SA: OH CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS! Miller goes big downtown first ball Suryakumar runs across, his momentum takes him over the boundary line so he throws it up, gets back inside and completes the catch. The umpires go upstairs and that only shows just how brilliant that catch was. Unbelievable stuff.

India vs South Africa Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Final, IND vs SA: South Africa need 16 runs to win off the last over

India vs South Africa Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Final, IND vs SA: Maharaj misses the first two deliveries and all of a sudden, SA need 20 to win off 10. Extraordinary pull back here from India. Maharaj manages to get the third to deep midwicket and takes a single, brings Miller on strike. SA need 19 from 9. Miller goes leg side but can't quite connect, runs two. SA need 17 from 8. Arshdeep nails a middle stump yorker, Miller digs it out and can only take a single. Maharaj onstrike for the last ball which is yet another perfect yorker. Maharaj can only dig it back to the bowler. Just four runs off the 19th, unbelievable from Arshdeep.

India vs South Africa Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Final, IND vs SA: Just two runs and a wicket from that over from Bumrah. It was his last one but India had no choice but to bring him on there. Now Arshdeep Singh to bowl the 19th. The squeeze is on from India. Maharaj is on strike.

India vs South Africa Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Final, IND vs SA: Cometh the hour, cometh the champion. Bumrah has got India back in it. South Africa are down to their tail enders and Bumrah still hast two more balls to bowl. Sensational delivery tere.

June 29, 2024 11:11 PM IST

India vs South Africa Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Final, IND vs SA: Just 4 runs and a wicket off the 17th, over to Bumrah

India vs South Africa Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Final, IND vs SA: That is a bonus good over for India. Hardik Pandya had not been able to keep the runs down all tournament long but he does that and gets possibly the most important wicket of the day as well. Now Rohit throws it back to Bumrah with the Proteas needing 22 to win off 18.

India vs South Africa Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Final, IND vs SA: OUT! KLAASEN FALLS, INDIA CAN DREAM AGAIN!

India vs South Africa Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Final, IND vs SA: Rishabh Pant takes some time off the game to get some treatment on his legs and that seems to have broken Klaasen's momentum. It looks like Klaasen didn't expect Pandya to go so far wide outside off, reaches out for the length delivery and edges it to Rishabh Pant. The pendului swings again.

India vs South Africa Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Final, IND vs SA: What have we just seen here. South Africa now need just 30 to win off 30 balls. He dismisses the first ball away from his presence, sends it over the bowler's head for four. Axar bowls two wides after that and then Klaasen sends the third ball to the roof over deep midwicket. The fourth is heaved over long on for another six and then Klaasen hits the fifth to long-off for a four. Takes two runs off the last ball and suddenly, India are on the brink. Rohit Sharma throws the ball to Jasprit Bumrah.

India vs South Africa Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Final, IND vs SA: Oh that is incredible. The fine leg fielder had been moved back after De Kock hit a four into that area previous ball and the batter falls for it hook, line and stinker. De Kock did a repeat of the shot that got him a boundary off the second ball, he seemed to have not noticed that the fielder had moved back at all. He seems to give the incoming David Miller a pep talk as he walks back.

He gets off strike next ball, Klaasen is on 22 off 13, De Kock on 35 off 29.

Pandya oversteps next ball, De Kock miscues the free hit delivery high into the sky. Pant takes the catch and the batters take a run.

India vs South Africa Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Final, IND vs SA: Oh Axar knocks Stubbs over and that is the end of a very promising stand for SA. Stubbs had stepped accross first ball of the over to slog sweep it and get a six for himself. He does that again but this time Axar fires it full and on the stumps. Stubbs is bowled around his legs.

India vs South Africa Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Final, IND vs SA: Two singles off the first two balls of the seventh in which Axar continues. Then Stubbs brilliantly slog-sweeps the third ball over deep midwicket, one-bounce four. A single off the next ball and two dots. Stubbs is on 18 off 14, De Kock on 21 off 18. SA's required rate is 9.84 FYI. They are going at 7.00 but that won't bother them too much at the moment.

India vs South Africa Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Final, IND vs SA: Well nearly identical scores at the end of the powerplay for both teams, with maybe India having a wicket lesser than South Africa. Six runs off the first four balls of the sixth over by Kuldeep. Kuldeep ends it with a googly, De Kock cuts it between point and backward point for a four. De Kock on 20 off 15, Stubbs on 12 off 11.

India vs South Africa Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Final, IND vs SA: The clutch moments. They are arriving now for South Africa and they might be coming fast at this rate. Young Tristan Stubbs is out there with senior man Quinton de Kock. They may have to do a Kohli-Axar here. But India want to inflict more pain. Bumrah to come back for a second over in the fourth itself, instead of the fifth which is what India usually tend to do in this tournament.

India vs South Africa Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Final, IND vs SA: That is probably the delivery of the tournament. Just the perfect outswinger from Bumrah for the third ball of the second over, Hendricks rooted to his spot, sees the ball goe past his bat take the top of off stump. The magician has struck for India.

India vs South Africa Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Final, IND vs SA: IND 176/7 in 20 overs

India vs South Africa Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Final, IND vs SA: No 180 in the end for India but this is still a record score for T20 World Cup finals. Jadeja is dismissed off the last ball of the innings, Pandya finish unbeaten on five off two. That innings was a bit of a journey and Virat Kohli was the constant in it. He came out swinging and got India off to a flier but they were brought crashing back to ground by Keshav Maharaj as he sent back the in-form duo of Rohit Sharma and Rishabh Pant in the second over. Suryakumar Yadav followed in the fifth, falling to Kagiso Rabada after which Axar Patel hunkered down with Kohli. The former ensured that India don't go into a shell with some intermittent big shots but eventually his innings came to a dozy end with Quinton de Kock running him out. Kohli eventually managed a late flourish after not finding the boundary for more than 12 overs and he eventually fell for 76 off 59. Some lusty blows from Shivam Dube and Hardik Pandya got India to 176.
