India Vs South Africa T20 World Cup 2024 Final: India are off to a stunning start in their defence of 176 in the 2nd innings, as Jasprit Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh topple off Reeza Hendricks and Aiden Markram respectively to put South Africa in all sorts of trouble. The Proteas, who are in their first-ever T20 World Cup final, are already tasked with a mountain of a task, as they are chasing 177 on a Kensington Oval pitch in Day time, that will get slower and slower, as game progresses on.
Quinton De Kock and Tristan Stubbs are out there for South Africa, who are batting quite nicely, as the pair are nearing a 50-run stand, and the 'Men in Blue' will be looking for a breakthrough.
Here's What Keshav Maharaj Said During Mid-Innings Break
During the break, the South African off-spinner pointed out the fact that the pitch will get ower to bat upon and that, Proteas "are ready to go" for it.
"I was just trying to use the surface and see if I can use the breeze to my advantage and luckily it paid off. Yeah, the catching and the outfielding was good and it is something we are proud of. It is good to see it coming off in the final. It started off a bit slow and then I think it has started to get better now. Hopefully, it will help us in the run chase. Yeah, definitely. Boys are ready to go. Opportunities like these doesn't come often and hopefully we can grab it with both hands," said Maharaj.
