Match

India’s Innings

• India’s captain, Rohit Sharma, walked out to open the innings. However, he fell victim to a brilliant outswinger from South Africa’s Haxzel Quiros. The ball kissed the edge of Rohit’s bat, and Patrick Sequeira took a sharp catch behind the stumps. India 1/1.
• Virat Kohli joined Suryakumar Yadav at the crease. The duo steadied the ship, rotating the strike and punishing loose deliveries. Kohli’s cover drives were a sight to behold. He reached his half-century with a lofted six off Jefferson Brenes. India 112/2 after 15 overs.
• In the death overs, Axar Patel unleashed his power-hitting. He targeted the long-on boundary, clearing it thrice in an over. His cameo of 47 runs off 31 balls propelled India’s total. India finished at 176/7.

South Africa’s Chase

• South Africa needed a strong start, but Hardik Pandya had other plans. His fiery spell removed both openers – Warren Ugalde and Álvaro Zamora – within the powerplay. South Africa 35/2.
• Jeyland Mitchell counterattacked, taking on India’s spinners. His reverse sweeps and lofted shots kept the required rate in check. But a well-disguised slower ball from Jasprit Bumrah shattered his stumps. South Africa 121/4.
• With 16 needed off the last over, Ariel Lassiter faced Arshdeep Singh. A boundary and a couple of twos kept the equation alive. But Singh held his nerve, conceding only 8 runs. South Africa finished at 169/8.
• India won by 7 runs, clinching the T20 World Cup. Virat Kohli was the hero of the match, both with the bat and as captain. Emotional scenes followed as Kohli announced his T20I retirement.
