T20 World Cup Final 2024: India and South Africa, both undefeated, are ready to face off at Kensington Oval in the T20 World Cup final. Head coach Rahul Dravid and captain Rohit Sharma are entering their third ICC tournament final in a year. Previously, India faced disappointment against Australia in the ODI World Cup and the World Test Championship. This time, however, Australia won’t be in their way. Instead, Aiden Markram’s South African team will try to spoil India’s quest for the title.
Emotions will be high as the strong Indian team, eager to end its long title drought, goes up against South Africa, which has yet to win a major tournament. India’s journey in this T20 World Cup mirrors their ODI World Cup campaign last year, where they reached the final but lost to Australia. This time, they are unbeaten and have been the best team in the tournament. Crucially, they won’t face the tough Australian team in their path to the trophy. Here’s a look at the Dream11 predictions, fantasy tips, pitch report, top player picks, and the best-predicted XIs for the fantasy contests for this match.
