Abstract

The purpose of this study was to assess the match analysis in cricket between India and South Africa T-20 world Cup 2024 in the game of Cricket. The subject was taken from the T20 ICC Men’s World Cup 2024 team. The data were collected during the live telecast of the match through video recorders, Newspaper, Website, Highlights and Score sheet. The subject was selected from Final Match of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024. In the final of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 at Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, India won the toss and chose to bat first against South Africa, eventually securing a narrow 7-run victory to claim the title. India began steadily in the power play, scoring 45 runs without losing a wicket, before accelerating in the remaining overs to post a competitive total of 176/7. Virat Kohli led the innings with a composed 76 off 59 balls, supported by a vital 72-run partnership with Axar Patel and another key stand with Shivam Dube, which helped India maintain momentum through the middle and death overs. In response, South Africa managed 42 runs in the power play but struggled to keep up with the required rate despite scoring 127 runs in the remaining overs. Heinrich Klaasen stood out with a quick 52 off 27 balls, while partnerships like the 58-run stand between Tristan Stubbs and Quinton de Kock kept them in contention. However, regular wickets disrupted their chase, and they eventually finished at 169/8. India’s disciplined bowling, particularly in the final overs, ensured they defended the total successfully and lifted the World Cup trophy.
