The ICC Men's T20 World Cup final will take place on Saturday, June 29, at Kensington Oval, pitting South Africa against India. South Africa qualified for the finals after beating Afghanistan by nine wickets. India advanced to the finals after their win against defending champions England by 68 runs
The game will kick off at 10:30 AM local time [3:30 PM BST, 4:30 PM SAST, and 8:00 PM IST] at the Kensington Oval, India reached the final being unbeaten since the beginning of the competition. In the semifinal against England, India scored 171/7. The captain Rohit Sharma scored 57 runs, batting well under pressure, while Suryakumar Yadav contributed substantially with 47 runs to help push the team toward a fighting total.
England fumbled against the Indian bowling attack. Axar Patel and Jasprit Bumrah crushed England's top order early in the game. Even Jos Buttler and Phil Salt couldn't form a good partnership even after a good start. Their innings lost pace as they kept losing wickets periodically. Chris Jordan then showed some fight with the ball, returning figures of 3/37, but it couldn't stop India from restricting England to only 103 all out. England's chance of defending their T20 World Cup crown came to an end with a poor performance in the semi-final. South Africa and India will meet for the final at the Kensington Oval.
