In a match that will be remembered for its intense competition and dramatic finish, India faced South Africa in the 2024 T20 World Cup yesterday. Fans were treated to a spectacular display of cricketing prowess, with both teams leaving no stone unturned in their quest for victory.

Winning the toss and electing to bat first, India lost their early wickets Rohit Sharma, Rishabh pant and Suryakumar Yadav inside the powerplay. Then it was Virat Kohli and Axar patel who stitched a crucial partnership 72 runs off just 42 balls. After 13.3 overs, India were 106/4 where Axar patel had thrown down his wicket by getting runout. Soon after Axar patel departed, Shivam dube played a quick fire cameo 27 runs off just 16 runs and Virat Kohli played a finest knock 76 runs off 59 balls which helped India to  put 176 runs on the board and the way South African batsmen chased it, everyone thought that India won't be able to win it but Hardik Pandya's spell in the final overs and Bumrah last over changed everything. After losing two wickets for just 12 runs in this run chase, South African team needed a partnership which was provided by Stubbs and de Kock. They shared a 58 run partnership which took the match away from India. Then Axar came and hunted Stubbs and brought his team back in the match. From here, Heinrich Klaasen played a brilliant innings of 52 runs in just 27 balls and brought his team to a great height in the game. From here it seemed that the Proteas team would win this match two overs earlier but Hardik turned the game around by taking his wicket and then in the last over, SRH sealed his team's victory by taking a brilliant catch of Killer Miller. Meanwhile, Jasprit Bumrah's brilliant spell cannot be forgotten.
