The stage is set for a memorable grand finale between India and South Africa at ICC T20 World Cup 2024, in Barbados on Saturday (June 29). Both teams are unbeaten, going into the title clash, and the 20-over showpiece will witness an undefeated team taking the crown for the first time in its history.

India vanquished defending champions England in the semi-finals, while South Africa humbled Afghanistan to enter their maiden World Cup final.

The tournament has been a roller-coaster ride for most of the supposed title contenders. New Zealand and Pakistan both crashed out in the group stage, and Australia were knocked out in the Super Eights.

Co-hosts United States and West Indies both gave a good account of themselves, before bowing out in the Super 8 stage. Apart from USA, Afghanistan delivered the most heartening underdog story of this edition, making their first-ever semi-finals before going down to the Proteas.

We are now down to two teams that have not bagged any ICC trophy in the last 10 years, and whoever wins on Saturday will end a long-standing title drought. Before the IND vs RSA final begins, let us look at the previous winner of the ICC T20 World Cup trophy.
