Play will get underway at 10h30 local time on Saturday 29 June.

Final – Match Official appointments June 29: South Africa v India (Barbados)

Referee: Richie Richardson
On-field Umpires: Christopher Gaffaney and Richard Illingworth
TV Umpire: Richard Kettleborough
Fourth Umpire: Rodney Tucker

Unbeaten India and South Africa will cross swords in the ultimate clash of the T20 World Cup 2024 to bag the glory. While India came to the final after defeating England in the semi-final two of the ICC event after putting up a repectable score of the board, South Africa landed in the final clash after beating Afghanistan in a low-scoring game.

South Africa have landed in the final of the World Cup for the first time and will put their best foot forward to eye the silverware. On the other hand, India will come all gunz blazing to end their 11-year ICC Trophy drought while playing the finals, having reached three ICC finals in last one year.

Both the teams have been unbeaten so far in the tournament and one would wrap up the competition in the same manner in Barbados on June 29. Also, the chances of rain loom large on the day of the final in Barbados.
