Ranking all T20 World Cup finals in history
With the culmination of the tenth edition of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup, let us take a look at how each edition's final ranks against each other.
3. 2024 – India vs South Africa
India claimed their second T20 World Cup title after a wait of 17 long years, as a fairytale farewell for Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma in this format. Batting first, India got to 176/7, with Kohli’s 76 being the backbone of the innings, supported ably by Axar Patel’s 47 and a late cameo from Shivam Dube. South Africa started slow and were cruising until the end of the 15th over.
With 30 required off the last five overs, what followed were five overs of madness which pulled India back into the game, with just 14 runs and two wickets (including Heinrich Klaasen, who got 52 off just 27 balls) from the first four overs. South Africa needed 16 off the last over, with a set David Miller still going, but a spectacular catch from Suryakumar Yadav to dismiss Miller in the final over helped India get home by seven runs.
