Who have these groups beaten on their approach to Barbados, when was the last day they won a world title, and, most important, what's the weather forecast for the last? This and more in ESPNcricinfo's FAQs
The winners of the people's T20 World Cup 2024 have been decided, we are set for India and South Africa to piece it out for the title on Saturday night in Bridgetown, Barbados. Ahead of the large game, ESPNcricinfo is here to answer all the questions you might have about the last.
It is, in fact, South Africa and India. In the ICC championships, how many days have they met? Or a knockdown fit?
The two groups will meet in the last of a female's ICC tournament for the first time. India and South Africa did join in the 2014 T20 World Cup semi- last, which India won.
Can they be called the two best team in this event?
The two most successful teams have now advanced to the last, according to one report. Both India and South Africa have won the tournament without losing, and both teams won both of their party games in the class period and the Super Eight. However, South Africa has a win in hand because of India's wash against Canada.
Whoever wins the final will be the first team to win a people's T20 World Cup unbeaten.
Which team has taken the tougher course?
Before falling to the USA and England in the Super Eight, South Africa defeated Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, the Netherlands, and Nepal in the class period. In their last Super Eight fit, they faced West Indies, but they came away with a three-wicket win in a tense, rainless contest.
After a series of small successes, South Africa hammered Afghanistan by nine innings in the semi- last to move into the last.
India, however, began their battle with gets over Ireland, Pakistan and USA. Their best record in the class period was marred by rainfall, as their sport against Canada in Lauderhill was washed away. India started the Super Eight level with great win against Afghanistan and Bangladesh and capped it off by beating Australia.
In the semi- last, India put in another extensive functionality to down England by 68 works.
In terms of criticism, it could be argued that India faced tougher clubs, having to overcome Pakistan, Australia and therefore England in the semi- last, but South Africa were really tested in most games but also found a way.
Okay, so why is this last a big deal for South Africa?
It's a historic moment for South Africa because it's their first time competing in the last of an ODI or T20 people's World Cup. In fact, aside from winning the annual Champions Trophy in 1998, South Africa have certainly made the final of any ICC people's game.
They have come close on many occasions, reaching the semi- finals in five ODI World Cups ( 1992, 1999, 2007, 2015, 2023 ) and two T20 World Cups ( 2009 and 2014 ) before this year, but for the first time they have got to within one win of the title.
And why is it important for India?
While India won the first ever T20 World Cup, in 2007, they are without a World Cup title since 2011 and their last ICC dinnerware was the 2013 Champions Trophy. They have come near since, reaching the final of the T20 World Cup in 2014, and the semi- championships in 2016 and 2022, as well as the semi- playoffs of the 2015 and 2019 ODI World Cups. Additionally, they came in second place in the 2021 and 2023 World Test Championship championships. They reached the final of a homeODI World Cup next time, but they were heartbroken in the end. They still have a chance to recover some of those wounds and end their desolate run in world events less than a year later.
When did the West Indies next host a World Cup?
The 2010 T20 World Cup was the last one hosted by the West Indies. That week's last, between England and Australia, was likewise played at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown.
So what do we hear about the ball and problems?
This will be the venue's seventh fit of the tournament, so be it. The first game here went to a Super Over, but there have n't been any close contests here since.
Before the game was called off, Scotland had fought to 90 for no loss in 10 innings against England after the teams had batting initially won three of the subsequent four matches at the location. The final two games in Bridgetown had West Indies and England ball USA out expensively and completing secure hunts.
South Africa have n't played around this game, but India have had one game below- a 47- run get over Afghanistan.
Wind, is that going to be a issue?
It could be stormy, with wind storms predicted at 35 kilometres from the south, going up to 45 kilometres. However, it wo n't likely have as much of an impact as it did when India invaded Australia in Gros Islet.
The India- England semi- last was affected by weather. What's the Barbados wind forecast looking like for the last?
According to AccuWeather, there are some rain expected, so we may experience breaks. Between 4 am and 9 am, there is a roughly 50 % chance of precipitation, but that decreases to about 30 % between 10 am and 1 pm, when it increases to roughly 50 %. On Saturday, the activity will be otted 190 more moments to try to finish it off. For a success to be determined, both teams must bird at least 10 overs.
Therefore, a supply moment exists?
Indeed, the ultimate does include a supply time. The fit will only go into Sunday if at least 10 innings each is not feasible on Saturday yet with more time. The sport, if now live, may get up from where it left off on Saturday, never start from scratch.
The supply day's begin of play is scheduled at 10:30 am, native time, just like the match day. There are some rain forecast for Sunday also, though the estimates for suit hours is somewhat better ( about 20 % chance of rain ) than what's expected immediately and later in the day.
What will happen if the supply day is over and we are unable to receive a effect?
If the wind prevents the suit from being completed even on the reserve time, both teams may be declared mutual- winners.
And what happens if it's a link?
A Super Over will determine the outcome, and there will be another Super Over if a link is also reached, and so on.
The two groups will become declared joint winners if the Super Over is postponed following a tie because of bad weather.
