South Africa

The South African team has shown impressive performances in the current tournament and has unexpectedly reached the final. In the first stage, South Africa defeated Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, and the Netherlands, earning eight points and advancing to the Super 8. In this round, their opponents were the USA, England, and the West Indies. Once again, South Africa managed to surprise.

The West Indies and England are stronger and higher-ranked teams compared to South Africa, making their victories over these two teams unexpected. Initially, they defeated the USA, but then consecutively triumphed over the Three Lions, the reigning champions, and the West Indies, one of the most decorated teams in the T20 format. South Africa again collected maximum points and advanced to the semifinals from the first place. In the semifinals, they faced Afghanistan and, predictably, secured a victory by nine wickets.

Overall, this is South Africa's first final in T20 World Cup history. Previously, their best achievement was reaching the semifinals.

India

Currently, the best team in the world, sitting at the top of the T20 global rankings, India has proven their status in this World Cup. In the first stage, India won three out of four matches, defeating the USA, Pakistan, and Ireland. The final match against Canada was not played, resulting in shared points. With seven points, India progressed to the next round.

In the Super 8 stage, India was grouped with Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and Australia. Once again, the Indians displayed excellent performances, securing three victories and advancing to the World Cup semifinals from the top spot in their group. In the semifinals, they faced the defending champions, England, and achieved a convincing victory by 68 runs, effortlessly advancing to the final.

For the first time since 2014, India will play in the T20 World Cup final. In 2014, they lost to Sri Lanka. India has one T20 World Cup title, which they won in 2007.

Interesting facts about the match and head-to-head history

• India and South Africa last faced each other in January 2024, where the Indians won by seven wickets.
• India is on a 12-match winning streak, while South Africa has won eight consecutive matches.

South Africa vs India prediction

Both teams have a monumental opportunity to etch their names in history. South Africa has achieved the impossible several times in this tournament. However, in my opinion, India is the clear favorite. They have been displaying excellent form and have remained undefeated since January 2024. My bet is on India winning with odds of 1.47.
