Ahead of their encounter versus South Africa in the T20 World Cup 2024 final at the Kensington Oval, Team India, captained by Rohit Sharma, landed in Barbados.

At the Providence Stadium in Georgetown, Guyana, on Thursday, the Men in Blue defeated England by 68 runs, cruising into the championship match. South Africa defeated Afghanistan by nine wickets to guarantee their spot in the championship game.

The Men in Blue won the Group A table with seven points after putting up an incredible show throughout the main event’s group stage.

India’s wait for an ICC trophy since the 2013 Champions Trophy will come to an end under Rohit Sharma’s team, and they will also be hoping to win their first T20 World Cup since the 2007 tournament in South Africa.

Recalling India’s semi-final encounter with England, Jos Buttler’s team chose to bowl against the Men in Blue after winning the toss.

India reached 171/7 thanks to the contributions of Rohit Sharma (57 runs from 39 balls, 6 fours, and 2 sixes) and Suryakumar Yadav (47 runs from 36 balls, 4 fours, and 2 sixes).

In the first inning, supporting roles were also filled by Hardik Pandya (23 runs from 13 balls, 1 four, and 2 sixes) and Ravindra Jadeja (17* runs from 9 balls, 2 fours).

Chris Jordan, who took three wickets in his three-over performance and conceded 37 runs, spearheaded England’s bowling assault.

England was unable to comprehend the characteristics of the pitch during the run chase and could only manage a total of 103 in 16.4 overs. The only two Three Lions batsmen who stood out were Harry Brook (25 runs from 19 balls, 3 fours) and Jos Buttler (23 runs from 15 balls, 4 fours).

The Indian bowling assault was spearheaded by Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav, who both claimed three wickets in their individual periods to enable India to win by 68 runs. Defensively, Jasprit Bumrah claimed two wickets on the 172-run target.

With South Africa and India, the two undefeated teams, playing in Barbados on Saturday, the T20 World Cup final is essentially etched in stone.
