Attention all cricket fans! The highly anticipated T20 World Cup final is just around the corner, with India and South Africa set to go head-to-head in what promises to be an exciting match. However, there is some unfortunate news for fans as the local weather department has predicted a 49% chance of rain during the match on Saturday in Barbados.
Now, the big question on everyone's mind is, what will happen if it rains? Well, the match is scheduled to start at 10:30 AM local time, but it is expected to be heavily impacted by the rain. According to ICC guidelines, if there is a delay of up to 4 hours and 10 minutes, the full game can still take place. So, there is still hope for a thrilling match even if there is a delay due to the weather.
But what if the rain persists and the match cannot be played at all? In that case, the reserve day, which is Sunday, June 30, will come into play and the match will be rescheduled. Let's hope it doesn't come to that and we get to witness an epic battle between these two teams on Saturday.
In the past, India and South Africa have faced each other six times in the T20 World Cup, with India having the upper hand in the head-to-head matchup. India has won four out of these six encounters, while South Africa has emerged victorious in two. In overall T20Is, India and South Africa have played 26 matches, with India winning 14 and South Africa winning 11.
The match will take place at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados on Saturday, June 29 at 8 PM IST. For those unable to attend, the live broadcast will be available on Star Sports Network in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada. Additionally, for those who prefer to watch from the comfort of their own homes, the live streaming will be available on Disney + Hotstar.
Now, let's take a look at the squads for the final match. For India, we have Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant, Sanju Samson, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah, and Mohammed Siraj. On the other hand, South Africa's squad includes Aiden Markram, Ottniel Baartman, Gerald Coetzee, Quinton de Kock, Bjorn Fortuin, Reeza Hendricks, Marco Jansen, Heinrich Klaasen, Keshav Maharaj, David Miller, Anrich Nortje, Kagiso Rabada, Ryan Rickelton, Tabraiz Shamsi, and Tristan Stubbs.
