The 2024 T20 World Cup Final rematch is here, and this time, India plays it at home. Here’s everything you need to get inside the world’s biggest cricket stadium on February 22.
When India and South Africa last met in a World Cup final, the Proteas came agonisingly close before India clinched the title. Now South Africa returns, not as neutrals, but as a team with unfinished business.
Suryakumar Yadav’s men enter this Super Eight clash unbeaten, having demolished Pakistan by 61 runs in the group stage. Narendra Modi Stadium, the world’s largest cricket ground, will be the stage. The atmosphere will be unlike anything else in sport.
