Who else but Jasprit Bumrah, who has been in absolute best in this tournament. A well-deserved award for the Man of the moment.

IND Vs SA: Player Of The Match - Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli made an important 76 vs SA (AP)

MAN OF THE MATCH AWARD Goes to Virat Kohli. However, Kohli fans, you guys have a bad news.

"Well, this was my last T20 World Cup. This is exactly what we wanted to achieve. God is great. I bow my head in gratitude. I could step up when it mattered the most. Just the occasion. It was now or never. I was playing my last T20I game for India. Yes, I have. It was an open secret. This was going to be my last T20I World Cup game for India. There are a lot of young guys coming forward. Take the team further," Kohli said after winning the award.

IND Vs SA Live Score: History Made; India Win World Cup!

What a scene. What a match. Do you believe it? They required 30 runs off 30 balls, and then Hardik, Arshdeep, and Bumrah delivered something extraordinary.

India win by seven runs to end the long-awaited World Cup trophy drought. Can we officially say, THALA FOR A REASON now?

IND Vs SA Live Score: Miller Out; Rabada Gets Four!

Rabada gets an edge. Rabada gets an four. 12 off four balls now.

A bye. Great comeback by Hardik. 11 runs off 3 balls. 

10 off 2. Then a wide.

HARDIK PANDYA HAS DONE IT. HARDIK PANDYA HAS POWERED INDIA TO THE WORLD CUP.

IND Vs SA Live Score: Can Hardik Finish Things Off?

Suryakumar Yadav has taken a blinder here. A boundary-line catch like you have never seen before.

The dangerous David Miller is gone! This could be the catch of the tournament, and SKY has picked an absolutely ideal moment to take this.

IND Vs SA Live Score: Arshdeep To Bowl 19th!

A dot to begin. Well done! Another dot. Bravo!

Single now. Maharaj has now given Miller the strike. Three crucial delivery, maybe match-defining.

2, 1, and dot. WHAT A COMEBACK!

16 runs required off the final six balls.

IND Vs SA Live Score: Bumrah, Again!

Build a statue of Jasprit Bumrah, BCCI! He deserves it, he deserves every bit of it. A match, which was almost over, he started the comeback, and Hardik reaped rewards.

Now again, a jaffa by Bumrah to knock over Jansen. 21 runs required off 13 balls. Edge of the seat stuff!

Just 2 runs off the Jasprit Bumrah over. THE MAN. THE GAME-CHANGER!

IND Vs SA Live Score: What An Over By Hardik!

Just four runs a massive wicket of Klaasen. Take a bow, Hardik Pandya!

IND Vs SA Live Score: Hardik Pandya Back; Hardik Pandya Strikes!

This is what Hardik Pandya can do. A wicket on the very first ball of his second over. The dangerous Heinrich Klaasen is now gone; Rishabh Pant takes the catch.

IND Vs SA Live Score: Another Record From Klaasen!

A 23-ball fifty by Klaasen, the quickest-fifty in a T20 World Cup final. This is a record.

Well played, Klaasen!

IND Vs SA Live Score: Bumrah Back Into The Attack!

A run-a-ball required now. Klaasen and Miller are smart. They won't try to attack the ace pacer.

A loud LBW appeal. Not out.

No wicket fell in the over, as expected.

IND Vs SA Live Score: Gamble Doesn't Work; Kuldeep Gets Hammered!

South Africa are bossing the game here. Just 48 runs required off 35 balls now. Klaasen and David Miller are on a mission to give India a heartbreak.

A 99-metre six, followed by another biggie by Klaasen. 103-metre now.

Four on the next ball. Match over in just two overs?

IND Vs SA Live Score: QDK Departs; Great Move By Rohit!

Rohit Sharma, you legend! A smart fielding change, and the dangerous Quinton de Kock falls. Arshdeep Singh gets the wicket.

A valiant knock (39 off 31 balls) by QDK under pressure.

Ladies and gentleman, we have got the new leading wicket-taker of this tournament - Arshdeep Singh.

IND Vs SA Live Score: Klaasen In His Vintage Best; India In Trouble

India are on the back foot here, as Klaasen attacks Kuldeep after Jadeja onslaught.

100 up for South Africa, as they are steadily going to their target without much harm.

IND Vs SA Live Score: Jadeja Gets Dispatched; Klaasen Strikes Hard!

Poor from Jadeja. He bowls right in the slot for Klaasen, and he did what the delivery deserved. A monstrous six!

IND Vs SA Live Score: I.C.Y.M.I Ft. Arshdeep, The Man!

Pant, too, did an excellent job. Credit to him as well.

IND Vs SA Live Score: Hardik Pandya Into The Attack!

Hardik, with a brand new look, starts with three dots. And then Klaasen brings out a six out of nowhere. What a shot this has been!

A no ball. Not an over Hardik would have wanted. South Africa will take this 10 runs.

Half-way down. South Africa are 81/3 after 10 overs.

IND Vs SA Live Score: Brilliant Axar; Stubbs Departs!

A much-needed breakthrough for India. A brilliant ball to send Stubbs back to the hut.

India are back in the game. South Africa need 106 off 66 balls for the historic win.

IND Vs SA Live Score: Shot, QDK!

A sumptuous six by Quinton de Kock, that too against Kuldeep Yadav. The ball lands onto the roof.

Stubbs in action now. A six off Axar Patel. South Africa are regaining the control here.

IND Vs SA Live Score: Pant, As Always!

Whatever the situation is, Rishabh Pant finds somehow to be in a joyous mood.

IND Vs SA Live Score: Powerplay Over; South Africa playing steadily

Quinton de Kock and Tristan Stubbs are playing with brain here. Powerplay is over. 50 approaching. 48/2 after 6.3 overs.

IND Vs SA Live Score: BOOM BOOM Bumrah! 🔥

Relive Jasprit Bumrah's MAGICAL delivery!

IND Vs SA Live Score: Stubbs, QDK On A Once In A Life Mission!

The match is in the balance. India would love to take wickets at regular intervals, while South Africa know they don't bat deep, and desperately need a partnership.

South Africa are 26/2 after 4.2 overs.

IND Vs SA Live Score: Bumrah On Fire, As Always!

IND Vs SA Live Score: Arshdeep joins Bumrah; India Get Two!

And yes! Yes, yes, yes! Markram, who had a big smile on his face after India's innings, had to return to pavilion without much damage with the bat. Arshdeep Singh strikes hard, as Rishabh Pant takes an excellent diving catch.

South Africa, chasing 177, are 13/2 in 2.4 overs.

IND Vs SA Live Score: Need Wicket? Call Jasprit Bumrah!

What a man Jasprit Bumrah is. What a bowler Jasprit Bumrah is. You want him to deliver, and he does exactly that time and time again.

What a peach of a delivery from Bumrah to get rid of Reeza Hendricks. India in charge.

IND Vs SA Live Score: The game is on!

Rezza Hendricks and Quinton de Kock begin the chase. A good start by Arshdeep. Just six runs come from it.

Jasprit Bumrah comes in next!

IND Vs SA Live Score: Innings Summary!

India's innings was totally controlled by Virat Kohli, who seemed struggling in the middle before breaking the shackles in the business end. Axar Patel and Shivam Dube chipped in with important contributions, as India would love to defend the highest total in a T20 World Cup final.

Will be back with the chase, soon!

IND Vs SA Live Score: Dube, Woah! Gone Soon!

Shivam Dube has picked the right moment. He gets into his original act in the final. This 27 off 16 balls will be remembered for a long time.

Jadeja takes two off the first ball, loses his wicket on the next ball.

India close on 176/7.

IND Vs SA Live Score: Virat Kohli Departs!

The KING falls. A fighting knock nevertheless, although Indian fans would have loved him to see their favourite man till the end.

Jansen has had the last laugh. Rabada takes the catch at long-on.

IND Vs SA Live Score: India Eye Strong Finish; Kohli Holds Key!

What a shot. What a six. Virat Kohli is at his absolute best under tremendous pressure. This is why he is called the GOAT of modern-day cricket. A six off Marco Jansen, who has been totally stunned here.

IND Vs SA Live Score: 50 Up For Kohli; Six Right After

This is what we expect. This is how we want Virat Kohli to bat. Kohli takes 48 balls for his half-century, and he smashes six, 2, and four on the next three balls.

Vintage KOHLI!

IND Vs SA Live Score: Dube doing his job; Kohli, come on!

Tabraiz Shamsi is having a bad day, conceding 26 off his three overs without taking any wicket. Dube has almost smashed him a six here: the ball landed just a foot ahead of the boundary ropes.

Kohli is batting on 49* off 46 balls.

IND Vs SA Live Score: Run-Outs Hurts More Than Break-Ups! 💔

IND Vs SA Live Score: Dube On Charge; Kohli Needs To Get Going!

Shivam Dube, coming at No. 6, has struck a six off Marco Jansen. Just what the doctor ordered. They have Hardik Pandya still to come, and hence, he has got the license.

Kohli is batting on 45* off 42 balls. It's time to break the shackles.

IND Vs SA Live Score: Axar Falls; QDK Does A Buttler!

Oh, ho! What a poor way to get dismissed. Quinton de Kock pulled off a throw which Jos Buttler did against SA to stun Heinrich Klaasen.

Well done, Axar. You have done your part.

IND Vs SA Live Score: Rabada In Disappears; Axar Again!

What a way to bring up the 100 for Team India. A picture-perfect shot from Axar, this time a six against a pacer. Guess what, it's Kagiso Rabada

IND Vs SA Live Score: 100 Approaching!

Axar is the aggressor here, while Kohli is playing as a second fiddle. Smart move by India, they need Kohli to finish things off, while Hardik, Jadeja, and Dube still to come.

IND Vs SA Live Score: Axar, You Beauty!

Shamsi is receiving the thrashing now. Axar Patel is taking the attack to SA spinners. First Markram, then, Maharaj, and now Shamshi. The left-hand batsman has smashed a six to each of them.

IND Vs SA Live Score: AXAR Patel, The Real BAPU!

IND Vs SA Live Score: Half-Way Down; Game In Balance!

Kohli and Axar have kept the control, but South Africa should be happy with the rate their opposition are scoring at the moment. 78/3 after 10.3 overs should not bother them much.

Kohli holds the key. He needs to carry his bat through in order to get his side to a challenging total. The pitch looks dry, it should be decent for South Africa as well unless the Bumrah-led attack pulls off some magic. 

IND Vs SA Live Score: Everyone, Every Single One Right Now!!!

Go Kohli. India need you today!

IND Vs SA Live Score: Oh, Axar! Wow, Axar!

First Markram, now Maharaj. Axar Patel is taking the SA spinner into cleaners. Kohli gives a thumbs up. The GOAT lauds!

IND Vs SA Live Score: Axar Patel Smashes The First SIX of the day!

A much needed six. The pitch looks ideal for batters, and Axar Patel shows that exactly. Aiden Markram gets punished, as Axar smashes it nonchalantly.

WHAT. A. SHOT.

IND Vs SA Live Score: Did you know?

Most wickets in the powerplay in T20 World Cup 2024

10 - Fazalhaq Farooqi

8 - Naveen-ul-Haq

7 - Tanzim Hasan Sakib

7 - Kagiso Rabada*

IND Vs SA Live Score: I.C.Y.M.I Ft. Rohit Sharma's Wicket

This is how Rohit Sharma lost his wicket today

IND Vs SA Live Score: Axar At No. 5

India have made a bold move here. Axar Patel has come as No. 5, not Shivam Dube.

Needless to say, Kohli needs to stay here. Or else, I don't want to type the next...

IND Vs SA Live Score: SKY Holes Out To Klaasen; Rabada Gets The Big One!

Shi*! India are in absolutely lacklustre here. They have lost three wickets inside Powerplay. Needless shot from SKY, considering it was Rabada who was into the attack.

IND Vs SA Live Score: Onus On SKY, Kohli To Steady Ship!

India bat deep. There is no need to worry about as of now. However, Suryakumar Yadav and Virat Kohli must hold the fort here.

Kohli takes the attack to Maharaj. He seems to be a different player today. Runs are coming.

India are 32/2 after 4 overs.

IND Vs SA Live Score: KING For A Reason! 👑

IND Vs SA Live Score: Two-Ball Duck For Pant!

What's happening here? Two wickets in three balls for South Africa. Maharaj has single-handedly brought the Proteas into the game.

Poor choice of shot by Pant. India are in slight trouble.

IND Vs SA Live Score: Rohit Sharma Joins The Party; Gone Soon!

Oh, dear! Just when I typed Rohit Sharma has joined the party to dazzle alongside Virat Kohli, the Indian skipper fell to Keshav Maharaj. Klaasen took an excellent catch to make that happen.

South Africa, back on track.

IND Vs SA Live Score: Dream Start For VK!

What a sight for Indian fans. Virat Kohli is on a roll. Back-to-back boundaries to kick off the proceedings. Rohit Sharma took a single off the first ball to give him a chance to shine, and he delivered.

Jansen is at the receiving end.

10 off 3 by Kohli, as he takes a double to keep the strike. Ominous signs!

A beautiful straight drive to finish things off. 15 runs off the first over. Go Kohli go!

IND Vs SA Live Score: All Set, Let's Go!

Players are out in the middle, and Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are in the centre of all. South Africa have set their troops. Marco Jansen has the new ball in hand.

HERE. WE. GO.

IND Vs SA Live Score: Anthems Are On!

One Last Time In This World Cup!

IND Vs SA Live Score: WHAT. A. PICTURE. 😁

IND Vs SA Live Score: We All Are Nervous, Yes!

IND Vs SA Live Score: Pitch Report

Ian Bishop speaking about the pitch: "It’s an interesting looking surface. They have done a fair bit of rolling on it. But there is no live grass to hold it together. I think it’s fairly hard to start with. I’m hoping the ball comes onto the bat quite nicely. The interesting numbers is that more wickets have fallen to the pacers here."

IND Vs SA Live Score: Did you know?

Aiden Markram has captained South Africa 16 times in ICC World Cups across different age groups. South Africa are yet to taste a defeat under his leadership.

IND Vs SA Live Score: Fantasy Tips!

Here's some important fantasy tips for you, analyzed by one of our own, Sanjay Sen.

Scenario: If South Africa win the toss

If South Africa win the toss, they would like to field first at this venue. Anrich Nortje, Kagiso Rabada, Tabraiz Shamsi, Marco Jansen, and Keshav Maharaj will be handling the bowling department and the key bowlers of their team.

Quinton de Kock, Reeza Hendricks, David Miller, Heinrich Klaasen and Tristan Stubbs will be crucial for their batting while chasing a big target.

Scenario: If India win the toss

If India wins the toss, they too would like to bowl first at this venue. In-form bowlers Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah, and Kuldeep Yadav will be the main bowlers from their side, along with all-rounders like Hardik Pandya and Axar Patel, will be crucial for India to put South Africa under early pressure.

Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant, Hardik Pandya and Virat Kohli will be the best choices while chasing a huge target for India.

IND Vs SA Live Score: Match Preview

India

Under Rohit Sharma, the Men in Blue have been on fire in the T20 World Cup 2024, winning each and every fixture except the washed out game they had against Canada. The likes of Jasprit Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav, Suryakumar Yadav, and the skipper himself have been stepping up as people expected. Will they have a picture-perfect campaign, or will there be another heartbreak similar to ODI World Cup last year?

South Africa

The Proteas, led by Aiden Markram, seem to be a different beast altogether this year. Anrich Nortje, Kagiso Rabada, Quinton de Kock, Heinrich Klaasen, among others, have been in impeccable form, allowing their supporters to dream again. This, of course, is the BEST chance for them to win the prestigious title.

D-Day Is Here!

Well, well, well. The much-anticipated T20 World Cup final day is here. India, once again, will be in action in a summit clash again, while South Africa will play their first-ever decider across ODIs and T20Is.

The stakes are high. Of course. I, Ritam Chatterjee, will be with you guys throughout the encounter, which is set to be a fascinating one for the viewers.
