T20 World Cup 2024 final: 13-yr drought ended, India lifts cup in Barbados


History was created at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados as India defeated South Africa by 7 runs to win the T20 World Cup 2024 on Saturday, June 29.
Chasing 177 to win the grand finale, the Proteas lost quick wickets against Jasprit Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh. Tristan Stubbs then got together with Quindtn de Kock and added 58 off 39 balls before he gifted his wicket away on a nothing ball from Axar Patel.

De Kock, who was looking good to get the team over the line, made a mistake just like Stubbs and got caught at the same place where he hit a four just one ball ago. Maybe he was sure that he would clear the fielder, but failed to do so. Klaasen was joined by Miller in the middle.
Klaasen went bang-bang against Axar Patel in the 15th over and took 24 off it to bring up his fifty and the required rate down to run-ball in the last five overs. However, he played a lose shot against Pandya and got out to give India another life.
It then came down to 16 off 6 balls needed and the rain started to fall as Pandya came to bowl, Miller hit the full toss with all his power and then Suryakumar Yadav took the best catch of his career to dismiss Miller and put India's one hand on the trophy.
