T20 World Cup: The final match of the ongoing 20 Over World Cup series is scheduled to start at 8 PM tonight. The two teams that will meet in this match, India and South Africa, have not faced a single defeat in the series so far.
This is why there is so much anticipation for this final. The common strength of both teams is their bowling. At the same time, the Indian team has been slightly stronger in batting than the South African team.
The Indian team has now qualified for the final for the 3rd time in this 20 over World Cup series. It is noteworthy that the Indian team led by Dhoni won the first 20 over World Cup series in 2007.
At the same time, South Africa qualified for a final in the ICC series for the first time. In the past several years, South Africa have reached the semi-finals of the ICC series and then exited.

Winning Strategy:
The strength of the Indian team is their batting, the opener Virat Kohli has not scored any big runs so far, however the Indian team has a strong batting team with Rohit Sharma, Pant, Suryakumar Yadav and Pandya.
Similarly, South Africa has been a strong batting team. But it is noteworthy that no player played in this series with determination.
The bowlers are equal in both the teams. Especially if Kuldeep Yadav is in the Indian team, Shamshi is there. Similarly, if Bumrah is in the Indian team, Rabada is in the South African team. So there is no doubt that this match will be tight till the end.
Whichever of these two teams wins the trophy, there is no doubt that today it will be a record in the history of cricket. The match will be played at the Barbados Stadium tonight at 8 PM.
Notably, this match can be watched live on StarSports and Hotstar.
