IND vs SA Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Final: An extraordinary ride of 55 T20s will reach its climax when India take on South Africa in the summit clash in Barbados on Sunday (June 29). Almost every Indian household is waiting for the clock to strike 8 pm as 1.4 billion people anticipate a world title after 11 years in its most beloved sport. It hasn't been an easy journey being a fan of the Indian men's cricket team because even though it has always been a top-ranked team, a world title has somehow eluded since 2013.

They came agonisingly close in 2023 when India were arguably the best team in the competition and were undefeated on their way to the final before Travis Head's masterclass allowed Australia to snatch Rohit Sharma's ODI World Cup glory and break a billion hearts. But perhaps that tournament further motivated Rohit & Co. to do well and come back strong for the T20 World Cup 2024.

The Men in Blue have done precisely that and Rohit has been at the centre of things. They have remained undefeated, much like the were in the ODI World Cup last year, but now do not want a repeat of what happened in Ahmedabad. They are a team in form barring Virat Kohli but trust the great man to deliver on the biggest stage of all. There have been questions on the form of Shivam Dube but India are unlikely to make a change to their winning combination from the semifinal unless they spot something dramatic at the wicket.

As far as the Proteas are concerned, they are a strong team themselves and much like India have cruised into the finals. Overall, the two teams have come up against each other a total of 26 times in T20Is with India coming out on top 14 times and the Men From The Rainbow nation winning the other 12. But when it comes to big match experience, India have played 2 T20 World Cup finals before while South Africa have been infamous for choking and will make their maiden appearance in a summit clash of an ICC competition.

India isn't ready for another heartbreak for sure. But this is sports and stranger things have happened. Will it finally a T20 World Cup glory after 17 years for India or will South Africa have the last laugh?

Let's find out together over the course of what promises to be an exhilarating few hours. Stay with ABP LIVE for India vs South Africa Final Live Updates.
