South Africa will need 177 to win, as India post the highest score in a T20 World Cup final. Is it enough though? Virat Kohli was the mainstay, but only hindsight will be able to say if his tempo through the middle overs was sufficient. Axar Patel and Shivam Dube kept swinging at 150+ strike-rates though to ensure the innings never stalled. Marco Jansen had a tough day out, but Nortje with 2 for 26 closed ranks well.
Shadow-Shell: "India looked behind the 8-ball for most of the innings, but somehow they've got 176. The innings if Kohli will be talked about for a long time, one way or another" That is an inevitability... much like his 77 from 58 in the 2014 final
Anish Pandey: "I'm afraid the intent came a little too late. I would say it's 20 runs short. Now it's on Bumrah and Kuldeep and create some magic!" To be fair, if anyone can, those eight overs of guaranteed gold can!
Hello, hello. Is this the last time Quinton de Kock is walking out to bat for South Africa? It would be some way to sign off if he wins this for them, and gives them that trophy they've craved for so, so, so long. Reeza Hendricks opens with him; he's had a quiet World Cup so far. Arshdeep Singh has the new ball for India. The target is 177. No slip. Fine leg and square leg are on the boundary. Left-arm over.
