India were crowned the champions of the world for the second time in T20 format as they beat South Africa by 7 runs in the final of the Men's T20 World Cup 2024 at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados on Saturday, June 29.

Chasing 177 to win, Proteas were at one stage 147/4, needing 30 off 30 balls to win the match, but once again choked in the final moments as Jasprit Bumrah tightened the noose with his last two overs, Hardik Pandya then removed Klaasen and defended 16 in 15 in the final over. He got David Miller out off the first ball as Suryakumar Yadav took a stunner at the straight boundary.

Earlier India posted 176/7 after Virat Kohli played a gem of an innings (76 off 59 balls) against South Africa in the grand finale of the ICC tonight. He was ably supported by Axar Patel (47) and Shivam Dube (27). For the Proteas, Maharaj and Nortje got two wickets each.

Earlier India skipper Rohit Sharma won the toss and decided to bat first.

Both the teams have played magnificent cricket and remained unbeaten in the tournament ahead of the final. This was the first-ever senior men's final for South Africa in an ICC World Cup event after tasting failure in seven attempts in both the T20 and ODI World Cups combined. India has not had the taste of success in an ICC event since 2013 and this match might end the wait of millions of supporters back home as well as the trophy drought.

India vs South Africa Final Live Score Updates: India left the cup, end 13-year-old draught

Over Summary: 0 4 B1 L1 Wd W 1; SA 169-8 after 20 overs

Keshav Maharaj (2), Anrich Nortje (1); Hardik Pandya 3-0-20-3

It then came down to 16 off 6 balls needed and the rain started to fall as Pandya came to bowl, Miller hit the full toss with all his power and then Suryakumar Yadav took the best catch of his career to dismiss Miller and put India's one hand on the trophy.

Four!! Edge and it goes for a four to third-man

Single of byes here and Maharaj will be on strike now with 11 needed off 3 balls to win.

Nails in the yorker does Pandya and it is now 10 needed off two to win. It is now nine needed off two to win as Pandya bowls a wide.

Wicket!! That is it then, the game is sealed now as 9 is needed off 1 ball to win the match.

India win the match by 8 runs and lift the T20 World Cup trophy as South Africa bite the dust yet again.

11:26 PM

Surya with the catch of the decade for India gets Miller

11:23 PM

India vs South Africa Final Live Score Updates: 16 needed off 6 for Proteas to win

Over Summary: 0 0 1 2 1 0; SA 161-6 after 19 overs

Keshav Maharaj (2), David Miller (21); Arshdeep Singh 4-0-20-2

Two dot balls and a single here from Maharaj as Proteas need 19 off nine with Miller on strike.

Klaasen would be rueing the shot he played to get out there.

Now Maharaj would have a free hit here as 16 is needed off 7 balls. Miller would want to play the last six balls. It is a dot ball now. With the last over coming up the chokers are doing what they do best.

11:16 PM

India vs South Africa Final Live Score Updates: 20 needed off 12 for Proteas to win

Over Summary: 0 0 1 W 0 1; SA 157-6 after 18 overs

Keshav Maharaj (1), David Miller (18); Jasprit Bumrah 4-0-18-2

South Africa is being South Africa here as Bumrah bowls two dot balls there and it is Miller playing those dot balls.

Wicket!! It is one man who is winning it for the country here and it is that man called Jasprit Bumrah.

It seems like South Africa is making the mistake that Pakistan made by playing the bowler and not the ball.

11:10 PM

India vs South Africa Final Live Score Updates: 22 needed off 18 for Proteas to win

Over Summary: W 0 1 1 1 1; SA 155-5 after 17 overs

Marco Jansen (2), David Miller (17); Hardik Pandya 2-0-14-1

Wicket!! Hardik Pandya into the attack and on the first ball itself, he gets the big wicket of Klaasen who played a nothing shot when only run-a-ball was needed.

Just one god over and then a loose shot from one batter and suddenly it is game on for India.

The game is now heading to the last three overs and we know and have seen Miller choking even in the IPL, forget South Africa's choking history in World Cups.

11:06 PM

India vs South Africa Final Live Score Updates: Klaasen departs

Wicket!! Hardik Pandya into the attack and on the first ball itself, he gets the big wicket of Klaasen who played a nothing shot when only run-a-ball was needed.

India vs South Africa Final Live Score Updates: Fifty up for Heinrich Klaasen

Over Summary: 1 2 0 0 1 0; SA 151-4 after 16 overs

Heinrich Klaasen (52), David Miller (15); Jasprit Bumrah 3-0-16-1

Fifty up for Heinrich Klaasen here even as Bumrah continues to put pressure on him with deadly yorkers and length balls.

10:59 PM

India vs South Africa Final Live Score Updates: Class from Klaasen

Over Summary: 4 Wd Wd 0 6 6 4 2; SA 147-4 after 15 overs

Heinrich Klaasen (49), David Miller (14); Axar Patel 4-0-49-1

If there was one man who threatened to make it all about himself in one over it was Klaasen and he did it by hitting two sixes and two fours to take 24 off the Axar Patel over.

10:56 PM

India vs South Africa Final Live Score Updates: Miller goes Killer mode

Over Summary: 2 0 1 1 4 6; SA 123-4 after 14 overs

Heinrich Klaasen (27), David Miller (14); Kuldeep Yadav 4-0-45-0

Miller goes Killer mode and hits Kuldeep Yadav for a four and a six back-to-back. 14 come off the over.

10:52 PM

India vs South Africa Final Live Score Updates: Arshdeep gets de Kock

Over Summary: 1 4 W 0 1 2; SA 109-4 after 13 overs

Heinrich Klaasen (26), David Miller (1); Arshdeep Singh 3-0-16-2

Just as we have seen throughout their cricketing history, South Africa loses wickets not to good balls, not to the best bowlers but to just the pressure of the big match. Happens again as de Kock gets caught at the same place where he hit a four just one ball ago. Maybe he was sure that he would clear the fielder, but fails to do so.

Miller joins Klaasen in the middle.
