Their paths to the finals have been quite different, adding to the intrigue of this high-stakes final which happens at Kensington Oval, Barbados.

Before the much-awaited final, let's take a look at how India performed in their last game at the final venue, Kensington Oval.

India thrashed Afghanistan in the Super 8 game played at Kensington

India faced Afghanistan at Kensington Oval in a Super Eight game, where they secured a victory by 47 runs. Batting first, India posted a total of 181-8 in their 20 overs, with Suryakumar Yadav scoring 53 runs and Hardik Pandya contributing 34 runs to set a strong target.

In response, Afghanistan struggled against Jasprit Bumrah's exceptional bowling, as he took 3 wickets for just 7 runs. 

India's all-round performance proved too much for Afghanistan, who had previously beaten Australia to reach the semi-finals of the World Cup. As India prepares to play at Kensington Oval again in the final, they will be counting on Bumrah's effectiveness on this pitch.

 Additionally, Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel have performed well recently, further boosting India's chances on this wicket.
