1. Pre-Match Opta Facts

South Africa v India

       India won by 106 runs in their last men’s T20I against South Africa after losing their three previous meetings in the format; in fact, they’ve won four of their six previous meetings with the Proteas at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup including a six wicket win in their only previous knockout fixture (2014 semi final).

       South Africa won by five wickets in their last men’s T20I fixture against India on neutral territory at Perth Stadium in October 2022 but had not previously beaten them in such a fixture since 2009, losing three games in between those encounters.

       No teams have won more matches at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup than India (34) and South Africa (32), not including Super Over results, with each of the Proteas and the Men in Blue losing 15 games across their history at the tournament.

       South Africa have won 12 of their 20 men’s T20Is played in West Indies (L8), having won more games in the format only at home (39 wins in South Africa); however, the Proteas have lost their most recent T20I at the Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados, a 39-run loss against England at the 2010 edition of the Men’s T20 World Cup.

       South Africa have registered eight wins in the 2024 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, to make it to the final of the competition for the first time ever; in fact, their eight wins is the most by any side in a single edition of the competition and one more than the next best.

       India are undefeated in men’s T20Is in 2024, picking up nine wins and a tie from their 10 fixtures in the format this year with that tie seeing the Men in Blue win in the Super Over on the day; in fact, they are the only full member team unbeaten in the format this year and one of only five international teams overall.

       South Africa and India have each made four runouts throughout the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 which is level for the second most of any teams behind only Afghanistan (6); conversely, South Africa and India have each had only two batters of their own run out this tournament.

       South Africa bowlers have taken 28 wickets in the middle overs (7-15) in the 2024 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, the highest of all sides and three more than India (25); in fact, their bowling strike rate of 14.8 in this phase is bettered by only West Indies (13.8).

       Anrich Nortje has picked up 13 wickets in the ongoing edition of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, the most by any South Africa bowler in a single edition of the tournament; Nortje has failed to pick up a wicket in just one of his eight innings in the competition this year, while bowling at an economy rate of 5.6.

       Jasprit Bumrah (India) has induced a false shot from the batter on 62.3% of his 154 deliveries at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024, the second highest of any player to bowl at least five overs at the tournament; in fact, he also has a bowling average of 8.15 at the current tournament which is the best of any India bowler at a single edition (min. 10 overs).

       Quinton de Kock (204 runs in 2024) is 35 away from becoming South Africa’s leading run scorer in a single edition of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup (Jacques Kallis – 238 in 2009); in fact, since the start of the Super Eight stage only teammate Tristan Stubbs (61) has recorded a better batting average than de Kock (39) for the Proteas.

       Rohit Sharma (India) has scored 92 and 57 runs across his last two T20I innings, just the second time he’s registered back-to-back half centuries at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup (also in 2014); though, he’s been bowled out in each of those last two innings after being bowled out in only one of his previous 14 innings in the format.

       Keshav Maharaj (South Africa) has taken two wickets in three of his last four T20I innings against India and 10 wickets in total against them across his career, the joint-most of any South Africa player; though, Rishabh Pant (twice) is the only India batter than he’s managed to dismiss more than once.

       Virat Kohli top scored with a knock of 77 runs 58 balls faced the last time India featured at the final of an ICC Men’s T20 World Cup (2014); though, he needs to score 25 runs in this match to reach 100 at the 2024 tournament having scored fewer than 100 runs in only one of his five previous appearances at the T20 World Cup (68 runs in 2021).

       David Miller (South Africa) has scored 431 runs against India, the most of any batter in men’s T20I matches between South Africa and India with Rohit Sharma (420) ranked second; indeed, Miller has scored 236 runs at an average of 118 across his last five T20I innings against India.

2. Pre-Game Insights – Journey in T20 World Cups

South Africa

South Africa have finally made it to the final of a World Cup in any format for the first time ever. They have previously reached the semi-finals twice before this edition. In the 2009 tournament, they were defeated by Pakistan by 7 runs, and in the 2014 edition, they lost to India by six wickets. Now, they are finally in a T20 World Cup final, and with a chance to make history with a win against India.

India

Back in 2007, India rested some of their celebrated seniors and won the inaugural Men’s T20 World Cup (or the ICC World Twenty20 as it was called then). For years since, they have tried to replicate that glory but missed out in the end, coming closest in 2014 when the team lost to Sri Lanka in the final.

That would be India’s last final until 2024, of course. This is India’s third final appearance, the joint highest of all teams, alongside England, Sri Lanka and Pakistan. A win here could make them two-time T20 world champions, something that only West Indies and England have achieved so far.

3. Captains’ Corner

South Africa – Aiden Markram

Aiden Markram comes into this World Cup final on the verge of history. And the numbers suggest that he could do something no South African skipper has done – lead the team to a senior World Cup title.

The South African team have had an excellent run so far in the 2024 Men’s T20 World Cup, emerging unbeaten ahead of the final – with wins over two two-time champions in West Indies and England, and a convincing win over 2014 winners Sri Lanka along the way. Their most impressive win yet though was the 9-wicket thrashing of Afghanistan in the semi-finals.

Winning every game in ICC tournaments, however, is not new to teams captained by Markram. In the 2023 Cricket World Cup, the batting all-rounder stepped in for Temba Bavuma in a couple of matches, leading the team to massive victories over England and Bangladesh.

This wasn’t the first time Markram had done it either. South Africa won the 2014 U19 World Cup under the now-29-year-old. The South Africa U19 side won six out of six matches in the tournament that year on the way to lifting their country’s first piece of ICC silverware across genders and age groups since the senior men’s team won the Knockout Trophy in 1998.

Add to this the fact that Aiden Markram has led his Sunrisers Eastern Cape team to back-to-back titles in the first two seasons of the SA20 franchise league, and you know they’re dealing with a truly capable captain.

India – Rohit Sharma

After a brilliant knock of 52 against Ireland in India’s ICC Men’s T20 World Cup opener, Rohit Sharma struggled to get going, with left arm pacers getting the better of him on most occasions. The Hitman roared back to form by taking down the Aussies with a quickfire 92 and doubled that up an important 57 against England in the semi-final.

This is not new, though. Rohit has continued to deliver with the willow, especially as the captain of India. He has become the fifth Indian player to score 5000+ runs as captain in internationals and is now the captain with the fifth highest runs across World Cups (ODIs and T20Is).

 8. Post-Match Opta Facts – 27th June

England v India

       India defeated England by 68 runs, picking up their first win against them in men’s T20Is in nearly two years (July 9, 2022) and their first against them at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup since 2012.

       England were dismissed for just 103 runs, their third-lowest all-out score at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup and their lowest since being dismissed for just 88 runs against the Netherlands in 2014.

       India picked up their seventh win from seven games at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup and now can finish an edition tournament unbeaten for the first time in their history; they had previous lost only one game in each of the 2007, 2012, and 2014 campaigns.

       Chris Jordan (England) took bowling figures of 3/37, his fifth consecutive T20I innings with multiple wickets against India; in fact, those three wickets took his tally to 10 at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 which is the joint-second most of any England bowler at a single edition of the tournament behind only Sam Curran’s 13 wickets in 2022.

       Rohit Sharma (India) scored 26 runs from 18 balls during the power play in this match, taking his total power play runs for the tournament to 151 which is the second most of any player behind only Australia’s Travis Head (160).
