India vs South Africa Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Final, IND vs SA: Oh you've got to be kidding us, right? Rain… again? Really? It seems as if wherever the World Cup goes, rain seems to be following. The city was doing just fine until a couple of days ago. But from yesterday, the clouds have gathered over the city and are giving the fans a scare. The latest is that as of now, 5:30 AM local time in Barbados, it is pelting down. But with a good four overs to go for the toss, things should get better. Even if it does not, there's a 150-minute cut-off time in tonight's game as well. FINGERS CROSSED!

India vs South Africa Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Final, IND vs SA: Tristan Stubbs was one of the breakout stars of this year's IPL, scoring 378 runs for the Delhi Capitals. He excelled pretty much against every bowler. All but one… his DC teammate Kuldeep Yadav. Stubbs revealed on the Grade Cricketer Podcast that he couldn't face Kuldeep even once in the Capitals nets. Despite him trying to persuade Kuldeep through repeated appeals, the India wrist-spinner simply never entertained the idea of bowling to him. And now we know why. With 10 wickets, Kuldeep has become Rohit Sharma's go-to bowler and he wanted to save every bit of his craftsmanship to bamboozle Stubbs and the rest of the Proteas batter when the time comes.

India vs South Africa Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Final, IND vs SA: It wasn't too long ago that India and South Africa played each other in a bilateral Test, ODI and T20I series. The T20Is were levelled 1-1 with both teams picking up a win each while one game was washed out. In the ODIs, India prevailed 3-2 in series contested that was contested back-and-forth, with Sanju Samson's maiden international century for India taking India over the line in the decider. Surprisingly, neither Samson or Rinku Singh are part of India's Playing XI tonight. Oh, and also, during the series, Suryakumar Yadav had peeled off his 4th T20I century for India.

India vs South Africa Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Final, IND vs SA: Well, thankfully, unlike the rain threat that loomed over the second semi-final between India and England, no such forecast has been predicted for the final. Yes, it did rain in Barbados yesterday and overnight as the island country woke up to the day of the final, and even though a bit of a thunderstorm is expected, it'll be nothing more than passing showers. Worst-case scenario, even if rain unleashes and causes interruption, there is plenty of time before the match is officially abandoned. But don't worry. We should have a full 40-over-per-side contest unless one team bowls out the other inside 20 overs.

India vs South Africa Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Final, IND vs SA: They have been called 'chokers' for as far as the memory can go back, but the kind of run South Africa have been on this World Cup, this is a unit different to all other that have come before it. With players embracing the home-grown SA20, the impact is visible. Aiden Markram has led this team brilliantly, and with contributions from Quinton de Kock, Tabraiz Shamsi and the rest of his teammates, if there is any team that can stop India's juggernaut, it's South Africa. Like India, they too endured a heartbreak in the 2023 World Cup, going down to Australia in the final. And like India, they too are aware what's at stake here.

India vs South Africa Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Final, IND vs SA: For 11 years now, India have not won an ICC trophy, and what makes this wait even more anguishing is the fact that in each edition, they come perilously close, only to get knocked out. Between 2014 and 2023, India lost 9 ICC knockout matches, including the two World Test Championship finals and the 2023 World Cup final, which was their best opportunity. Nonetheless, here they are, seven months later, waiting with bated breaths and hopes that the outcome will finally land in India's favour this time. The players need this. The coach and the support staff need this. And lastly, the entire nation of India needs this.
