Virat Kohli helped with a quick start to the Indian innings by scoring three boundaries in the first over from Marco Jansen. Then Rohit Sharma and Rishabh Pant were dismissed early in the next over, bowled by Keshav Maharaj. Soon Suryakumar Yadav was dismissed by Kagiso Rabada in the fourth over leaving India at 34 runs off 3 wickets. Virat Kohli and Axar Patel tried to stabilize the innings and the partnership managed to score 72 runs leaving India on 106 runs off 4 wickets. But Axar Patel was run out thanks to a quick throw by wicket-keeper Quinton de Kock. Shivam Dube joined Kohli in the middle and the duo managed to score 50 runs off 32 balls. While attempting hit off Jansen, Kohli was caught by Rabada. In the last over bowled by Anrich Nortje, India scored 9 runs, with Shivam Dube and Ravindra Jadeja dismissed and India scoring 176 runs off 7 wickets. Kohli was the highest run-scorer for India scoring 76 runs off 59 balls while Keshav Maharaj was the best bowler for South Africa as he picked up 2 wickets for 23 runs in 3 overs. [34] [35] [36]

South Africa innings

South Africa had a slow start with the early dismissals of Reeza Hendricks and Aiden Markram leaving South Africa on 12 runs off 2 wickets. Quinton de Kock and Tristan Stubbs managed to put a partnership of 58 runs off 38 balls before Stubbs was dismissed by Axar Patel. [34] [35] [36] In the middle of the 13th over Quinton de Kock was dismissed by Arshdeep Singh leaving South Africa on 106 runs off 4 wickets. Heinrich Klaasen's fiery innings of 52 runs from just 27 balls helped South Africa to go past 150, which included scoring 24 runs of an over from Axar Patel's bowling. With 26 needed from 24 balls, Klassen was dismissed by Hardik Pandya which was the turning point of the match and India got the breakthrough after a lengthy break between 15th and 16th over of the match. Soon Jasprit Bumrah dismissed Marco Jansen in the 18th over and conceded only two runs. Arshdeep stepped up allowing only 4 runs to be scored of his over, with South Africa needing 16 from the last over. The last over was bowled by Hardik Pandya and on the first ball of the over he took the wicket of David Miller thanks to a well judged catch by Suryakumar Yadav in the deep. Suryakumar Yadav's catch was eventually hailed as "one of the catches of all time in cricket history" by cricketing fraternity and Ian Smith who was on air in the commentary panel also labelled it as "one of the greatest catches in cricket history". [37] Ian Smith was pumped in the commentary box terming the catch with his commentary lines "Oh my god, I believe I've just seen athleticism at its very best". [38] Soon Rabada was also dismissed on the fifth ball. As South Africa required 9 runs from the last bowl, Pandya conceded only a single due to which India won the match by 7 runs. Klaasen was the highest run scorer for South Africa while Pandya was the best bowler for India as he took 3 wickets and conceded only 20 runs from his 3 overs. Bumrah and Arshdeep got 2 wickets each while Axar Patel took 1 wicket. [34] [35] [36]

Aftermath

This was India's first win in a major ICC event after 11 years, their last win was in 2013 ICC Champions Trophy led by MS Dhoni. [50] India also became the first team in the T20 World Cup history to win the title undefeated throughout the tournament. [51] Rohit Sharma became second indian captain to win ICC T20 World Cup for India after MS Dhoni. [52] India became the first Asian country to win two ICC Men's T20 World Cups (2007 and 2024) and the third ICC full member after West Indies and England. [53] The match was hailed as one of the closely fought finals in T20 World Cup history as the match swung in favour of both teams as key moments unfolded taking the match all down to wire with South Africa being asked to chase down 16 off the last 6 balls of the final over. [54] Ravi Shastri who was on air summed up the emotions running high among the fans with his commentary line "It's up in the air and its India who win the T20 World Cup after 17 years. The drought is over. An ICC tournament win after 2013". [55] It was also India's first ever ICC tournament win since winning the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy and it also ended the long wait for India to win an ICC tournament. [56]

Suryakumar Yadav's presence of mind and game awareness were acknowledged when he took a jaw-dropping catch running long way across just near the boundary rope, which was in the touching distance ever closer to his body during the crunch situation of the final. His left foot was within millimeters of the boundary triangle, as per the initial real-time replays. His catch was also widely compared with that of former Indian captain Kapil Dev's incredible running catch in the final of the 1983 Cricket World Cup, where Dev took an important catch to dismiss West Indies hard-hitting middle order batsman Vivian Richards. [57] [58] Suryakumar Yadav sprinted and balanced himself to cling on to the catch to dismiss David Miller, holding the ball while he hopped around the rope to complete a scintillating catch. Action replays suggested that it was a fair and clean catch, as the umpires soon went upstairs to review whether the catch was taken without having any contact with the boundary cushion. Some fans and critics raised eyebrows over the possibility of his shoe slightly touching the boundary cushion as video footage surfaced on online and social media platforms, where the moments hinted out over his shoe to have flicked the bottom of the plastic covering layered on the boundary cushion. [59] [60] [61]

South Africa were eventually criticized for choking in the crucial phase of the match where at one stage they were set to chase down the total quite comfortably. [62] Soon after the key breakthrough of Klaasen, India made inroads in the match, and South Africa failed to cope with the tight bowling strategies of India as the low-order batters, mostly comprising genuine frontline bowlers, could not quite manage to adapt to the match situation and played too many dot deliveries, which put David Miller on the other end under an enormous amount of pressure. [63] It was all down to Miller to finish the match proceedings due to the lack of support from other batters, and it eventually caused debates over South Africa's vulnerable low-order batting, which was exposed in the crucial decider of the tournament. [64] [65] Aiden Markram, captain of the South African team, admitted the defeat as a tough pill to swallow and insisted it be "gut wrenching and bittersweet ending to a great campaign", but heaped praise on his teammates for showing up throughout the tournament [66] , where South Africa literally won every game of the tournament by holding their nerves to progress to the final of the tournament as one of only two unbeaten sides of the tournament. [67] [68] [69]

India received $2.45 million as the prize money while South Africa received $1.28 million from ICC. [70] Indian President Droupadi Murmu and Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated team India on winning the tournament. [71] [72] The South African Government appreciated the South Africa team's efforts in a post through Twitter . [73] Many former cricket players like Sachin Tendulkar, [74] MS Dhoni, [75] Yuvraj Singh and Sunil Gavaskar congratulated Team India and Rohit Sharma on their T20 World Cup victory. [76] [77] Major cities in India such as Mumbai, Delhi, Ahmedabad, Lucknow and Hyderabad celebrated the win late into the night. [78] [79] Indian supporters in New York, London, Barbados and various other countries also celebrated late night with hoisting Indian flags and setting off firecrackers. [80]

Later, BCCI secretary Jay Shah announced a cash reward of ₹125 crore (US$15 million) for Team India for winning the T20 World Cup. [81]

Broadcasting

The final match was broadcast live in India on Star Sports, free-to-air broadcaster DD Sports and free on OTT platform Disney+ Hotstar. In South Africa the match was broadcast live on SuperSport. [82] The ICC named the following panel of commentators for the final: Harsha Bhogle, Ian Bishop, Carlos Brathwaite, Nasser Hussain, Dinesh Karthik, Kass Naidoo, Shaun Pollock, Ricky Ponting, Ravi Shastri, Ian Smith and Dale Steyn. [83] [84]
