ICC T20 World Cup 2024: Who will lift the title if IND vs SA final gets washed out due to rain?

The IND vs SA final will be played at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados on June 29.

The ICC T20 World Cup 2024 final will be contested between champions of the inaugural edition, India and first-time finalists South Africa at the Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados, on June 29. Both sides are unbeaten in the tournament until now.

Team India will look to clinch their second T20 World Cup title, having won the inaugural edition in 2007, whereas the Proteas will look to win their maiden ICC World Cup trophy in any format.

The Rohit Sharma-led India and Aiden Markram’s South Africa finished at top of the points table in both group and Super 8 rounds of their respective groups at T20 World Cup 2024. In semi-final 1, the Proteas hammered Afghanistan by nine wickets to reach their maiden men’s T20 World Cup final. 

In semi-final 2, the Men in Blue crushed defending champions England by 68 runs. Rohit Sharma has now taken his side to three ICC finals in a span of 12 months; India lost the previous two to Australia.
