After almost a full month of world-class cricket it all comes down to this as India take on South Africa in the final of the 2024 T20 World Cup.
For the first time in the tournaments history, both finalists come into this showpiece match unbeaten.
South Africa claimed a nine-wicket victory over Afghanistan in the semifinals, ensuring their place in their place in a major ICC tournament for the first time ever.
They come up against the inaugural winners of the T20 World Cup back in 2007 -- a feat that India have failed to replicate since that triumph -- but look in good shape to end that winless run following their impressive 68-run victory over defending champs England on Thursday.
India take on South Africa at the Kensington Oval in Barbados, on Saturday, June 29. Play is set to start at 10:30 a.m. ET, or 7:30 a.m. PT. That makes it a 3:30 p.m. BST start in the UK and a 8 p.m. IST start in India. The game gets underway at 12:30 a.m. on Sunday morning for viewers in Australia.
Below, we'll outline the best live TV streaming services to watch the match, no matter where you are in the world.

If you find yourself unable to view the T20 World Cup final locally, you may need a different way to watch the match -- that's where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day by encrypting your traffic. It's also a great idea if you're traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network, and you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins.
With a VPN, you're able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the game. Most VPNs, like our Editors' Choice, ExpressVPN, make it really easy to do this.
Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in any country where VPNs are legal, including the US, UK and Australia, as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service you're streaming. Be sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks: Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service may terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions.
