Kanpur (Uttar Pradesh) [India], Indian cricket fans in Kanpur offer prayers for the victory of the Rohit Sharma-led Men in Blue in the final match of the T20 World Cup 2024 against South Africa.

India will face South Africa in the final match of the T20 World Cup 2024 at the Kensington Oval in Barbados on Saturday.

A little away from Kanpur, Varanasi fans performed at Havan to celebrate Team India's victory in the upcoming final match of the main event.

The Men in Blue will look to end their ICC trophy drought since the 2013 Champions Trophy and also win their first T20 World Cup since the inaugural 2007 edition in South Africa.

Both South Africa and India have been the only teams to remain unbeaten in the 2024 edition of the T20 World Cup after putting up a stupendous performance in the showpiece event.

However, in the history of the T20 World Cup, we have never seen a winner who has remained unbeaten throughout the tournament.

Both teams have had a contrasting run in the tournament. The Rohit Sharma-led team has dominated every team it has faced in the tournament, including heavyweights like Australia, Pakistan and England.

While the Proteas have, on numerous occasions, narrowly escaped en route to the final. Bangladesh and Nepal gave them battle in the group stage. In their final Super 8 match against co-hosts West Indies, they almost sealed their exit as they chased the revised target of 123.

Team India: Rohit Sharma (C), Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant (WK), Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Yuzvendra Chahal, Sanju Samson, Mohammed Siraj and Yashasvi Jaiswal.
